Passing over Ray Hubbard this morning headed to work and I see wrapped boats all over the place. Some trolling around on the lake, the gas stations and Denny's. Really wish I could take the whole week off just to follow them around to see how they approach fishing the lake. After all of these years, I still don't know how to.

Agreed. Since they all have side scan, probably brush piles, rocks and marina docks like everyone else

outdoor therapy said he passed by the queen and it was full of spectator boats!!

DONT YOU GUYS WORK??? LOL!!

The weather is gonna throw these guys a curveball.. the lake fishes the best in the worst weather. the nice days really shut the fish down on hubbard... speaking from an amatuer point of view(very amatuer at that)LOL! ... so yes, i would REALLY like to see how they react when that happens on a nice day.. those fish go somewhere and they still have to eat(survival).

Got to fish with Alton Jones marketing guy this weekend and just hearing how they break down lakes and prefish is crazy.

I'm with you Ronnie, if its a blue bird day no wind I'm curious to see what they bring.

Anybody know what the schedule is as far as hours each day for pre-fishing?

I'll more than likely be out there enjoying watching some Pros fish the lake that's closest to me. I'm going to try and be out there all 3 days.. Even my girlfriend wants to go on Saturday... I'm looking forward to meeting a few of you guys there.

If someone wants me to help them buy one of these lake homes on Lake Ray Hubbard before Thursday gets here.. we could just have a party and watch it from there!

daylight to dark probably is their schedule.

Evan, you can come sit on my deck and watch them come in and out of Rush Creek.I have been watching scouts come and go for a few days now.When asked they all say the same thing. "We are just prefishing for a small club tournament." lol

haha.. that sounds about right. I should count how many times I hear that in a year out on the water.

I think I might see you first thing at that other place we talked about for a good show.

we oughta rent a helicopter

whats out there

what tournament is this?

"PAA All Star Series

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. I have very, very little evidence personally that the fish in that lake ever open their mouths to eat.

Back on topic, I was really hoping to get out there one day to see these guys, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Agreed. Since they all have side scan, probably brush piles, rocks and marina docks like everyone else
