[Oldman]

dang wayne is still alive.lol

 

[action jackson]

most tx pay out 1-7 that 1-19 doesnt give anyone a chanse to win nothing try 1-7 and you might have a better turn out .unless you thats running it is on alot of fish

 

[Nitro]

One place every 10 boats is a good idea. It says 1-19 people which is actually 1-9 boats. That is how we do our watts bar tournament and have real good success.

 

[MagicMan72]

Sounds like a good tx. with the 175s not being on Sunday now.

 

[bricknbass]

Yep sound good. But. Y so short time wise

We like to get off the water before the Sunday afternoon crowd hits. Nick is small and not too many places to get away from the big boats, skiers, and water fleas during warm weather.</p>

Noon has worked out great the past couple years. It gives guys that work on Saturday a chance to fish competitively and still have the afternoon to spend with family. Launch time in Summer is usually around 5 (Central) which gives them about 7 hours to boat those bass.</p>

 

[bricknbass]

OK. I caught ya. Lol

 

[hl&s]

I just caught a mistake in the payout split: It's 3rd place payout for 39 anglers and up, not 38.</p>

My apologies.</p>
