I was suprised the turn out was lower than normal, think it was just the economy? Maybe the weather?

my personal opinion is several were out the weekend before and realized how tough it was fishing and when you combine that with brutal winds forecast that came true, you get low turn out. we still fished it because we always fish them all, but it was really brutal...i am still feeling it from a wave we hit while running North that morning. Felt like it could have cracked the boat in half.

That's how every wave felt for us. Still had a good time though. I wish everyone fished all of them regardless of conditions, cause you never know what might happen.

If you look at the last 4 events, Falcon and Rayburn had over 230 entries, LBJ and CC both had 160. I think the crappy weather combined with the crappy lake conditions hurt it the most. Put that on top of all the other freaking tournaments going on and the numbers are not 300 liked they used to be.

We decided not to fish and save are money since the lake was fishing tough for us. I bet alot of others did the same thing. We are just fishing 2 of them this yr now that we cant qualify for championship with 4 events.

We fished the main lake and dam area, beat us to death, but had no other spots marked. TM had enough around 1:30 so we came off the lake. I agree with Chris G, tough fishing and weather; however can't be fair weather anglers all the time.

We fished it as well but ran all over the lake, never really thought it was all that bad now that is a good one...we went about half way up the lake and both coming and going simply were brutal. like i said we always fish them regardless of weather simply because these are fun getaway weekends for us and we go no matter what.

I was messing with you a little, we did run all over the lake but I run a big boat so wasnt bad.
I was just suprised at the turn out really, I thought at least 200 boats even with bad weather.

i figured...last year Cedar Creek (in July) only drew 170 and the one in 2010 in Sept only drew 149 so this appears to be about average for this lake the last few years. I bet Ray Bob is going to pull more than 200 and we all know Fork will probably get close to 250.

Maybe I need a bigger boat, CC should do it for days like that. We were spearing 3-4 footers on the TM, sure glad the bilge works

I am not sure how you guys braved the main lake after 11pm. we tried and speared two in the first 5 minutes. One of them got water up to my ankles. We have a 21 footer too. The waves were rolling pretty good and were starting to get spaced out kinda far. We turned around and just had to go fishing. As a result we sucked. LOL

Because we have no common sense. Acutally we figured if we fished the main lake and dam we wouldn't have any competition looking for fish. That was our strategy and it paid off, only problem was we didn't find any fish. LOL

Main lake was no issue here. We ran from Log Cabin to Twin to Prairie and back. Then had to go rescue a downed buddy that limped to Dons Port. I think we might have got sprayed once or twice. Slow your roll and it's nothing to move around.

LOL We launched at Log Cabin and made the run around 6:30 to our spot and it was bad...it was even worst coming back down south at Noon. We speared a good one on the way back...like you said...we were also in a 21 footer but some of those were 2' tall and very far apart.
