TENN/COOSA RESULTS FEB 10TH TOUR

[Guest]

Hey Churly. We did lock through yesterday. We didnt do very well.
Locking through is no big deal. Pull up to the locks slowly, pull the chain, and wait for the Lockmaster's instructions. Make sure that you have rope to tie off with, and allow plenty of time coming back, because of potential barge traffic. Never move into, or out of the locks until the Lockmaster sounds the horn or he will get pretty mad, chew you out, holding you up.
I cant remember what kind of boat you have to make a guess on gas. Hales Bar sells it if needed. I have a 20XD Bullet with a 225 Optimax, and I can run all the way down and back on 26-28 gals. My boat holds 30. My old Hydrasport used more, but the tank was much bigger. What kind of rig are you running??

I fish with my partner who owns a 20XD with a 200hp. mariner, I believe it has a 32 or 36 gallon tank. I figured we could make it, but, each time I mention it to people they say, "make sure you know where to get gas..." We had alot of fun catching the fish on the Nick last spring, and unless we get on something stellar on the Chick we may be locking through in the upcomming CBAs. Thanks for the help and good luck!

I knew I was outclassed and decided not to fish it. I cant catch 18 pounds in 3 days on the Chick.
Those weights were amazing for a day like yesterday in my opinion, great job to the teams that brought it. emoWorthy emoWorthy

I was withing sight of the winners for several hours yesterday. All I will say is that they caught their fish within a few miles of the weigh-in.

Flip, I have been outclassed by Roggie Brown for years, but we fished it b/c we were planning on practicing for the CBA next weekend, and I knew it would be the only way to keep me and my partner from getting out on Friday night. Hey, it worked! We were on the water before the sun got up and we did find some areas that could turn out to be productive...all for only $25.

From various tourney reports over the past year or so, I am definitely seeing a pattern...Rogne Brown. Is this dude the master of the Chick or what? I would love to pick his brain sometime. </p>

He's a very consistent angler! I think hes spraying WD-40 on his bait! emoLaugh

I heard he uses corn dogs.

he gave RRigsby a great tutorial on keeping fish alive in the summer time and he posted it somewhere on the forum a while back.
