Hope to make it Jim. But I'm planning to have my truck sold tomorrow and if so, won't be able to pull the boat to the lake. May have to snag a backseat with somebody for this one. But if I do make it, I will be more than happy to help out as usual! emoThumbsup

 

[beetlespin]

You can fish with me if I can get out of bed. I think "The Legend" is keeping me out late to fish the ratman.

I'm going to try to make it with a buddy. It will be our first tx, so we may be donating, but looking forward to it.

Don't listen to him. I have not won a tournament all year. Placed in a few but not won one. Since starting this year to fish with the ratman tournaments on Friday night my average is way down. I am not going to say how many I entered this year, wife may get mad if she knew but I think I have only placed in five or six this year. emoRolleyes Last year I was over 50% getting a check and this year I suck. emoRedface Jmax

Gary, I got no idea. I do not ask or require a presign. Last time I think we had 27 show up. It is just a little fun one to fill in the gap. I do not want to make it a big deal so it is one that you just show up, sign up at the ramp and fish it if you want. If we just get five boats or fifty boats it is fine by me.emoAngel Jmax

 

[herefishy]

If anyone needs a backseater i'll gladly pay half the tournament fee and pitch in some gas money! Thanks, Daniel

With no boat, beggers can't be choosers. emoLaugh

No...most of the time I have been the quide this year and when it counted I could not produce. Just one of those years. emoRedface Jmax

Safe light looks to be about 6:15 to 6:25. I plan to send everyone off around that time so please be there before 6:00 so everyone can be in the water and ready to take off. emoAngel Jmax

I live over by CFP. I would think it's probably easier to put in at CFP and ride over to HBSP than to trailer all the way around. Any thoughts?

You can do that if you wish. I wouldnt advise it if there is any fog on the water though. We had a few try that for the first CFF Tourny on Chick and it didnt work out too well for them. But if you are comfortable with that, then by all means, have at it. Just make sure you get there early enough to dock up and come sign up and get the well checked emoThumbsup
