Gents,

I have gotten several calls from people asking all kinds of questions regarding the tournament/rules.

A lot of people seem to be hung up on the livewell rule. Let me explain....
Every boat must be equipped with a livewell, most people use 150qt coolers, tool boxes, totes or anything else that can hold enough water suitable for a few large catfish. These options are perfectly fine, no hanging fish on stringers or in toe sacks. Hope this helps....

Please if you have anyother questions please ask and I will try to clarify....I dont want anyone skipping out because they didnt understand a rule...thanks

A good aerator and a 5 gallon bucket to change the water frequently will go a long way!

Im using a 100 gallon livestock tank with a couple battery aerators......I'll refresh water with a 5 gallon bucket.

I think They also said if you get a Biggun or 2 bring them in Early to weigh if needed.......

76 teams preRegistered!

Can you catch bait between the hours of 1am and 7am on the lake?

No, all prefishing (including castnetting) must stop at 5 pm friday. If you need bait at that point you can get it from another lake but no activity from captains meeting friday until 7am sat

Hmmmmmmm, so you can be on the water at 1, but can't throw your net for bait. That's a dumb rule if all winners are polygraphed anyways. In top of that we wait until after pre registration to come up with this. So guys that work Friday are pretty much screwed.

So can I throw my net past 1287 bridge? Seems like I should be able to.

Since I have pre registered, I have learned.... boundaries have changed, and no bait catching before legal catcishing hours. Smh. My plan was fishing past 1287, and to catch some fresh gizzards the morning of.

Just my opinion and doesn't mean much but what advantages does catching bait in those hours give you over scouting structure in that same time frame doesn't ? Seems like if your on the water with graph on catching bait should be OK ...not trying to hurt the turnout in any way I'm just
curious ?

Iv got a question. Is there an off limits period between the conclusion of fishing day 1, and 1am on day 2?
