Who's going?
Who's fished it before?
I'm looking forward to it!

I would like to fish it someday. I’m not ready to fish tournaments yet.

I have in the past. It's a madhouse out there. Keep your head on a swivel in the boat lanes.
Burbarry, this isn't a fishing tournament that you have to be ready for. It mainly comes down to luck not really so much skill to get some of the money. Only need 1 good fish not a stringer.

I have fished them in the past. There will be 8-10 boats on every spot you want to fish, the lake will have constant waves because of all of the boats running up and down the lake either moving to another spot or headed to weigh fish. If someone sees you catch a fish there will be 5 boats right on top of you right away. Restaurants will be crowded, everywhere will be crowded. There will be several launching that really should not even own a boat or should learn how to back down a ramp quickly and know how to park correctly, some don't know how do to either, so if you decide to fish it and cash a check, then you can be happy with your success, you just need to have a lot of patience, keep calm and fish on. Make sure you use the same measure board Sealy uses and make sure you know the tournament rules. Make sure your fishing license is current. Have fun and good luck.

Ez, I’ve fished the Berkley before and I didn’t find it crowded at all. Are there more entrants in this one usually?

I’ve heard Sealy is the biggest. Fished Skeeter owners, and man it was crowded. After your first spot you are pretty much fishing behind others all day. Better just be ready to fish closer to someone else than usual. Keep a cool head. Their will be some retards

Last time I went a couple of years ago, I thought they cancelled the tournament because it really didn't seem like that many boats were around where I was. I only saw the boats when I went out to the boat lanes.

Fish it every year... it’s a blast and takes a little patience. Will get a little poker game (Texas Holdem) together Friday night if anyone interested. Just PM.

Better food and he's added on additional seating. or Veronas which is next to AJs. great food! Seth's is by far the best but it will be a SOB to get into. If you can get in it will be worth it for sure!

Nothing wrong with AJ's Fish House. It's a buffet style eatery and for their buffet menu it's not bad. If you are wanting to sit down and order then my 3 favorite are Bro's, Seth's, and Tiffany's.

I fished it one year when the lake 12 feet low and it poured the entire time. No boater issues for us. Super fun
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama

I'm going. It's usually a tough bite but that way for everyone. Go to enjoy the event and you will have a good time.
