I'll be there fishing with Eric. Wind is supposed to be up big time tonight folks. Batten down the hatches! Who else is coming?

doubt it since they are calling for 25 - 30 mph winds....

How about making it a wed night tourney this time. I hate the high winds. And they are supposed to come out of the NW. Not many places to hide.
Tom I'll be there but depending on the wind wether or not I'll launch.

Understood. I just checked the WFAA and weather.com sites. Wind advisory is set to come down at 6:00. Winds in the evening are supposed to die down to 10-15 at that time. Of course the key word is SUPPOSED to. We'll see at the ramp.

The wind is your friend.
Wind or not, I'm planning on being there with John Boy Martinez.

Hour-by-hour wind speed forcast:

Doesn't look that bad.

wind is your friend is right. the night I won the tourney a few weeks ago was because the wind had the shad blown up on one bank under a dock. if those who knew where I fished, will go there tonight... game on..... I am not fishing tonight. too much other stuff going on (taxes due Oct 15th)

If there is anything that I can do to help you with your dock fish then please send me a PM Ronnie, I'll be glad to help!

KP and I will be on the 3 hour tour tonight wind or no wind. I know that dock, but I think the wind was out of the South that day.

hehe. very smart. good catch.

Wear long pants this evening guys. It may get a little cool with the north wind blowing. On second thought, wear shorts. Maybe you'll be distracted by the fact you're getting cold. I need all the help I can get!

Was it near where we met you?

Bring Jumper Cables

No Sir, south end.

me and the pops will be there.....

SSSHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!

ok might show up but like Eric make the decision to fish at the ramp

south side of the bridge will be calm, always a calm spot on Ray Hubbard.

Slide R, are you fishing with TDR?

we will be trailering....thats for sure....gonna hit up an old hole, ive given it a rest long enough

well well,I may be there afterall. Gotta call the taxman and see if my fax was adequate enough Maybe the luck of the "Cobra" will prevail tonight

Yeah, he is.

I know where Ronnies dock is....

I will see you all there at 5 tonight.

Casey

wind wont be blowing into it, fish away

Assuming the wind is not too much I plan on being there - late as usual - but there as soon as metromess traffic lets me get there.

Just talked to Eric. We will be there, and make the call on the wind at the ramp. See you all there!

me, slider, and my 17 foot boat are going to make it... so all you guys with big expensive boats, I dont want to hear any excuses about wind. Bring it.

Yea, what he say

[quote=TDR2]me, slider, and my 17 foot boat are going to make it... so all you guys with big expensive boats, I dont want to hear any excuses about wind. Bring it.[/quot

im on the same boat...lol

whos bringing Mary Anne and Ginger????

what?????

anyone else going to trailer

Several of us actually trailered this evening. The winds at the ramp made it safer to do so. It took 10 pounds to win tonight. Nice job guys! And there were two four pounders brought to the scales. Alas, none of these was mine, but I had fun anyway. Not as much fun as Snake Eyes and Ronnie tonight. I would have liked to have been a casual observer watching the activity on board there for a few minutes tonight. I'll let the participants tell the story so I don't get anything wrong. And they rallied back to get third place and second place big bass. Nice job gents! Thanks to Eric for getting me on the water and KP for putting on the show. And thanks to all the guys who come out and play on a Tuesday night. Makes for a great evening.

thanks Tom :-P

ok so that we get the story right and i dont get accused of trying to drown my partner...

Skeeter Ronnie and I started off knowing that we needed to make a run and that it wasnt going to be pretty. The wind was up at launch unlike weigh in were it was less than 5 mph winds....

we ran all the way around to the north east side of the lake and in doing so hit some big waves and it was rough.

I noticed that the boat was acting funny getting on plane on the last part of the run and made mental note to check it out once we got out of the wind.
We got to the first spot and i put the TM down and noticed that it wasnt pulling the boat the way it has in the past.... I catch the first keeper and see that the live wells are over flowing with not being turned on. I yell to Ronnie we have a problem.

well long story short we beach the boat and Ronnie jumps in and finds the plug is gone.

ok i know i put it in and have witnesses... so the only thing we can figure is that we hit SO HARD that the pressure knocked out the plug. luckily i ALWAYS carry a spare and Ronnie put it in and we finally got the bilges working and back to fishing....

all in all we are no worse for wear and are back fishing in around 30 mins.

we weighed in 3fish for 7.05 with a 4.05 BB

one last thing

BIG THANKS TO MY PARTNER for jumping in and keeping us afloat!

thank you Ronnie!

ahhhchoo! thanks Jay for the backseat! I had a good time! got a little chilly after the sun set though I have been in colder water, so no big deal! I was just glad to get out of the house!

Ronnie,
What a friend! I will have to say that because you sacrificed so unselfishly Jay has decided to give you his TV and his dog. I know, I know, a lot of people have been giving there tv's and dogs to others lately but I think it is a kind gesture and you should not feel bad for excepting. SnakeEyes, you are the man, I know Ronnie will get much use out of the TV and the dog.

We had a good time, we may not have caught enough to win but we did find the Hybrids schooling and had a blast catching some nice fish the last hour before weigh-in. Not Bass, but 2,3,4,5lb hybrids is a lot of fun on light line.

I will have the results up shortly.

KP

You know me Jay! I specialize in throwing people under the bus! I would like to point out that Jay took my advice and wore long pants last night and Ronnie wore shorts. Guess who ended up in the water! I may not be a great stick, but I'm pretty smart about other things. I understand about getting a little chilly Ronnie. We launched by the TX Queen last night and I walked through ankle deep water at the ramp to get in the boat. My feet were COLD by the end of the night! That ramp is too shallow! Hey KP. For next year, as a plus for winning the month, besides entry fee, winners should get someones TV and dog. Great promotion!

LOL! No dogs! Whos gonna feed it when I go fishing (serious conversation the wife and I have had before ). Jay can keep his TV, I dont watch much TV anyways-too much drama and reality shows Give me some Sci-Fi!

Wife walked in with a box of crackers last night after I got home.. I asked her what they were for- she looked down and tolkd me I needed something to get thing out of hiding!!! Cold water will hurt your pride!!!! LOL!!

Plenty of small fish. I only found one keeper last night and it came when I made the switch to a LFT Hyper worm.

It pays to have a hook-up!

Thanks for the backseat Thomas. Lets rip some lips at the Ray Hubbard Open.

P.S. Thomas does not require his partners to perform a swim test before allowing them to fish. Safety is one thing Jay but you caused the man serious shrinkage .

had one keeper and lost two at the boat and plenty of small fish, but from what i hear, that would not have done us a bit of good....

Now THAT is funny! "It shrinks? Why does it shrink?" (Elaine from Seinfeld reference)

wow. Im glad only us RHBC guys read this or people might start thinking we are weird.

trust me, more people read this than you think, and yes, they do think you are weird.
