we are not going to make this one. Yall have fun. One bit of advise though, take it or leave it. That last stint being streached to 12:00 hrs long is going to be real hard on the fish caught early. I believe there will be some good fish caught around that time and just after dark. Thats a long time to keep them alive in this heat. I would have some peroxide and plenty of ice juggs. Not to metion flushing my live well completely out 3 or four times that night to remove all the regeratation from the fish. That [censored] going in and out of their gills is hard on them for just a short while. Some fish dont make it on a fighting a stringer for 8 hours next to a boat in 90 deg water either.
if I was to catch one or two good ones I would prob just weigh the in with in a couple of hours. allot better chance and dont have to worry all night .

+1 on weighing in fish early. but i would rather do that if needed rather than everyone navigating in the dark unless they have to.

I'll be watching this thread Guys, Good Luck!
The wife and I are about to head down to port A for the weekend and I'll probably be looking at some saltwater catfish the next few days.
Go get 'em!

PA rods are great, and even better with a Fred reel strapped to it. PA rods are very good. The best part of this combo is having a reel from Fred on it. He has built 5 for me and man are they awesome. Can't wait to get more from him. I sure would like to win this door prize.

Make sure everyone brings exact change if you don't mind. This makes it quicker and easier so I'm not trying to dig out change in the dark.

Peroxide? Dunno this trick. Parts per gallon? Etc? I do use it in a squirt bottle to trail deer when the leaves are wet. Bubbles like a Boss, works well

This will truly be a toughman with the heat. Soren you ought to get you a generator and portable swap cooler and chill out. We will see how tough all of the young'uns are.

Tom is going to bring me a sun shelter thing. I can't afford to bake any more of my brain than I have over the last 20 years. There ain't that much left as it is.

Also y'all, make sure I get with at least one member of each team in the morning to give them a packet. That will have the rules and the contact numbers for me and the GW in them.

fyi, on keeping the fish alive (a concern I share) we're packing a bunch of ice on the boat, including some frozen 2-liters to put in the live well to help keep the fish cold.
helps keep gummy worms in good shape too. ;P
