Sweet !!! I'd love to catch a few of those some day.

***** REMEMBER THE TIME CHANCES THIS WEEKEND*****
6:30AM TAKE OFF
AND
MUST BE IN LINE WITH YOUR FISH BEFORE 2PM.
2PM SCALE CLOSES...

James , not that it matters for me because I won't be looking for a kicker ( il be looking for a keeper) but your signiture says " you must be in line by 2 and the scales close at 2" . This may cause confusion . What if someone is in line at 1:59 with someone in front of them? I'm sure you meant must be in line by 2 pm and scales close at 2:30 but just clearing it up.

I missed my first smallie today! We will see you Sunday

I broke my trolling motor head today, gotta try and take it apart and get the steering cables put back on right and somehow rig the tm head back on. Was a great day in the water until this happened.

Brad, thanks for pointing that out. It means that at 2 pm nobody else can enter the line to be weighed. If you are already in line and it hits 2pm, you're fine, your fish will be weighed even if it takes me til 2:30 or whatever time to finish weighing the fish that were in line before 2pm.

Hope that clears that up.
Thanks again Brad...

What kind of trolling motor do you have Brad??
I've had to rebuild my Minn Kota several times. Not the Fortrex but the one before the Fortrex.

It's a 101 Maxum, I have done one in the past on a 70lb thrust I imagine this is real similar. Just hope I can piece it together at least for the weekend while I wait on parts.

Ttt

My partner will not be available this weekend. I wanted to see if you guys would be okay with reducing the 50 dollar entry for solo's. I'm at a huge disadvantage but would still like to fish it.

James I sure would like to see you fish these even if you are putting them together. Hope your back gets better bud...

I will be out there Saturday and Sunday. Want to really learn this lake better. Going to spend some hours graphing Saturday.

Mayo, I have everything setup so I already know the payout all way to 30 boats this way.
If I charge a different rate for singles I have to re figure the payout every time because I wouldn't have any idea of how many singles were going to show up each week.

I'd rather for now keep it like it is. Sorry. I will think about changing it though..

I know it costs a single a little more this way, but if you catch em, you don't have to split the money either. Sometimes being by yourself is better, it is for me anyway...

I understand... Thanks for possibly entertaining the thought down the road.

Mayo I may need a partner this weekend if I can get my tm put back together.

My partner is back in I was just told. I would love to go out with ya sometime though and really appreciate the offer man. If for whatever reason things go south by kickoff I'll be more than glad to team up if you still need someone but don't hesitate to fill. Thanks again for the offer and I'd like to do it sometime for sure mate.

If I come out. I will have a back seat open

I hear the bigger fish are starting to bite up shallow, hopefully some big bags come in Sunday,
Good luck to everyone who comes out and fishes!!!!

Remember, time changes Saturday night (falls back a hour)
Registration from 5:30am - 6:30am
First cast at 6:30am
Must be in line with your fish before 2pm..
As long as you're in line before 2pm your fish will be weighed.
If you show up after 2pm, your fish will not be weighed...

Good luck and have fun and be safe!!!!!
