Just checked the weather in Zapata. Sunny, 52 degrees, wind -0-, baro 30.44. Forecast to warm into the mid 60's with clouds and light/variable winds.
I love everything about that but the high baro, but that may make someone's deep fish really group up on bottom!
I know the bite's been kinda funky of late, but I just have a feeling it's gonna take 47+ to win, today. We'll see.

There will be a few people that stumble on the motherload on a prime off-shore rockpile. But I'm telling you the fishing has been the toughest on Falcon I have witnessed to date. There are going to be a lot of low weights unless the switch was flipped overnight.

Yes, I'm hoping our boy pulls it through. He said he will hook me up after the tourney is over.

I would rather have 20-30 on the wind. But 52 deg sounds good.

Any idea how many teams entered?
Man, 0 mph wind, gonna free some up to run-n-gun at will..
But like was noted by JR, may not make for ideal catching..

If it has been tough, we got lucky, and I cant wait till it gets good. Recently was my first trip and I fell in love with that lake. Man oh Man what a lake, I predicted 47 to win.

There will be some good weights, for sure, but you guys are gonna be surprised at how few, at least by falcon standards. And alot more will blank, or close to it, than you'd expect too.

That's what I'm hearing too stc. Gonna be a ton of light sacks and blanks. But there should, I said should, be three or four giant sacks and a bunch of other good ones, too. "Giant" just depends on if someone had the right school and caught 'em. They'll certainly be able to fish 'em. I talked to Jersey earlier and he was sitting in his room looking out xcross The Veleno and mainlake, and he said it was glass!

You did VERY well for time u were here, but with that said you did not see a 100 fish day where basically you quit fishing because u can't move your arms...... Come back in a few months, trust me.

it will take over 40lbs for sure. we had 40 lbs twice this week pretty easy. not a ton of bites but most were 7-9lbs each stop. the falling water has them definitely in small groups on isolated spots. the rest have pulled out to deeper rock and ledges.
