PWT and RCL Circuit, anyone doing both?

[Vikings Fan]

Curious to see if anyone is doing both the PWT and RCL Circuits full tour schedules this year.

[Guest24]

Yes, there are some Pros doing all of them.

Who?

[Vikings Fan]

Who? Still waiting.

[stats]

I'd go through last years tours and bet that about 75% of the guys that did it last year are doing it again this year.

[Vlkings Fan]

How much do you want to bet? Name two.

[why ask]

I think you already know the answer to your question so why are you asking? Thers bound to be some guys doing it but who really cares? Considering you would need to fish all the PWT events to get your best chance at the Championship and could fish one RCL and a little local and make there Championship its just smart to whats best for each guy or gal!

[Juls_OH]

I would be willing to bet that Scott Fairbairn, Mike Gofron, Tommy Skarlis, Perry Good, Eric Naig, Mark Martin, Rick Olsen, shannon Kehl, Dan Stier, and John Kolinski would be fishing both full circuits again.

That's just naming a few that I can think of off the top of my head.

Juls,

I talked to Scott this weekend he was doing all the PWT's but only 2 or three of the RCL's said that was more than enough! I agree, have the family to be with somethimes. Hope he has another great year, thats alot of work and travel.

GP,
That's very true. ;-)

I was just looking at last years stats of who did both, and posted the names of those who I thought had a good chance of repeating the tough schedule.

If I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of tournaments between the PWT and RCL that are a little too close together, that would make it difficult for anyone to do all the tournaments in both circuits, and still get enough prefishing time in at each site.

I will be as curious as the next guy to see who is doing all 10-12 events this year.

I am curious as to who is doing both circuits this year. That is why the original post was made. Last year quite a few did. Juls, meaning no disrespect, but your information is inaccurate regarding this post, don't be "willing to bet" unless it is on a sure thing. I would like to know who really is doing both circuits and yes I was told that only one person was, but found that hard to believe. Thus the reason for my original post.

[Not Many]

Talked with a bunch of the guys this weekend at the Minneapolis boat show and the only guy that said he is fishing both circuits was Mark Courts. Fairbairn, Olson, Kehl, Good, are not doing all the RCL's.

I was at a meeting with the PWT, and the Wi Pro's, last Monday evening, asked around, and only 1 guy was fishing the entire RCL. Out of 17 guys there, that fished the RCL last yr, only 1 was fish all, some were fishing 1-2 events, and some who fished all RCL's last yr, said enough was enough, and are only fishing the PWT.

Looks like the RCL is in trouble, or aleast headed that direction, with lack of entry's. I'm sure they will just readjust their payouts to fit as they go.

Yeah packer fan. I heard the same thing. Wal-mart and the RCL going BK. The PWT is buying their equipment at a bankruptcy sale. Also heard that Brett Farve won the MVP in this weeks super bowl against the Bears. In my humble opinon the less cheese-heads fishing the RCL the better. Just kiding. Mr. Packer fan you cannot say the RCL is in trouble by doing a informal survey of 17 (Liars) oophs fisherman. Mr. Packer Fan, the PWT and the RCL are both wonderful and successful endeavors. Don't try to pit one against the other. My dogs better than yours. But then if you beleive the RCL is going down you are welcome to your opinion. I don't beleive it.

Waz,

Not all of us Cheeseheads believe this garbage. The RCL WILL be strong. Please do not assume that all packer fans are ignorant or like starting rumors.

This post was not meant to be a slam against the PWT or RCL circuits. I think Juls reply hit the nail on the head when she said "Tough schedule". I am curious who is attempting to do both circuits and so far only one name has been mentioned. The information given me that only one person was doing both circuits may have been correct.

[Guest24]

There are a large number of people who do some of each.
Maybe this list will help:
Allar, Fairburn, Gofron, St. Peter, Takasaki, Ortiz, Campbell, Skarlis, Good, Minnema, Kolinski, Morris, Boggs, Frank, Naig, Grothe, Martin, Plautz, Brumbaugh, Srier, Harsh, McComskey, Taege, Olsen, Kraft, Kehl....
Did I hit anybody you have heard of yet? There are many more.
