Tommy,
Just read the latest on the BI Times online.On March 6 reps from PBR appeared before the BI Tourism Council.The proposed tourny dates are set June 1-July 7.Only fish 35lbs or over qualify.They claim this will prevent over fishing and is the best course to Bass conservation.The article went on with a quote from a BI Tourism Commitee member saying this would provide a economic boost to the island during the proposed time period.No word on a vote.

Surprised, but not really. I do think it is getting too far.

Wait, what? Who in the BI tourism board thinks they actually need a boost during the summer? Isn't that pretty much their golden time already?
