Let's get a pot going for the number of lower units that get clobbered!

Kinda depends, last year I caught good qtys of big fish early in March. This year it was April before I caught them a little better. If the water is still sub 50 degrees, I think it will be tough for them.

I just hope to pick up some general info for productive patterns / areas that time of year. I stumble into a good one every now and then, but hard to string more than a bite or two together for me at this lake

My buddy told me he thinks this will set up similarly to Conroe...we'll see some big sacks and we'll see a lot of dudes get there butts kicked and the lake could lend itself to another Jordan Lee type of surge. I think I agree because we all know that lake has em but she can be a stingy heifer.

It’s Texas and it’s early spring, it will all depends on the amount of rain and the weather patterns.

Some will do really good, some not so good.

I say 67 pounds wins

If the weather and water levels are stable they will wack them, it will take well over 75 lbs to win it if the conditions are good.

Kamper is correct! Remember these guys do fish for a living and have money / contacts. I foresee a big week long party for us bystanders!! bouncy

Re: Ray Bob Classic?!?!?! - 05/28/20 03:12 AM

I imagine half the guys here will be getting phone calls shortly from a pro wanting a “tour”....

Looking forward to going to the Expo and probably the weigh-in events.

Like other guys said it could be a bit early and water-temps in mid to upper 50's but those pros should figure out some patterns.

Re: Ray Bob Classic?!?!?! - 05/28/20 04:25 PM

Will the government allow for an Expo is the question?

North Texas weather in mid-late March is always a dice roll. It will be interesting for sure.

Re: Ray Bob Classic?!?!?! - 05/29/20 07:25 PM

early for RR. i bet a few bust 25 lbs per day and maybe a few bags over 30 but it will be harder for most. the Merc trailer is gonna be busy.

March wind and rain.

This could be my worst nightmare. If they catch some monsters it'll bring out everyone within 3 hours of RR hoping to catch a share lunker. I'd rather the lake be less traveled and keep its reputation as a difficult, no fish, no bite, dead water, frustrating to all anglers lake. Just sayin... laugh

They'll come, they'll struggle, they won't return.

It is nearly impossible for the lake to be busier than it was this spring.

I think if they struggle us locals will say its Roberts just being Roberts. If they catch them good then some will say its hecause they got local help.

Great point... let’s remember what KVD did on Lewisville, broke the lake record on a shakey head. How many 10+ will be weighed in? But I will agree, the mercury trailer will be busy R & R’ing lower units... maybe they need to bring Opti out of retirement?

You're absolutely correct. I have been fishing RR since 1999 and have never seen this many boats. I'll concede the weekends and tournaments, but give me back Mon-Thurs.

I think it will be a good tournament if they have the weather but I believe it will be as most tournaments go some will figure something out and do good and some will struggle.

They will do good because they are that good.
