I sure hope to make this one. Just dropped my boat off at the shop. It's not running right at all.

How about this one.......... My motor is shot. 3 cylinders with zero compression. Good news is I'm almost to Landry's outboard (9 hour drive past New Orleans) to pick up a Evinrude 225 (more HP). Quick swap and I'm on the water by this Saturday 1/13. I should be there banana

Will be up to the TD... I THINK it will be idle after you pay, but it will be his decision ultimately.

about how many boats will show up? This should be a great tournament.

no clue. Tx Poormans has had 35 boats, but this is the first time we've joined in with LA poormans and the first time it has been an open... I would guess we'll have quite a few more than in the past because of that.

I'd be very surprised if it doesn't take over 20, but we'll see.

Gentleman's bet of a bet of a high five?? lol

This better weather may have things changing but the bites seem so scattered its hard to pattern them... maybe things will change... Find out in the morning.

yeah, we can hope.. full moon coming and a storm... that usually means good things on MC.. but who knows, the fish make all the decisions smile

Thats awesome, yeah I should have stayed and fished it...Toledo was a bust due to the raining till 1:00 and dense fog until dark. I went out to Martin this morning and the bite was on!! awesome to see some good bags produced out of there.
