It is my goal to be in the Red boat fishing this tournament.

Thats a lot of boats and I could not see a single one when driving by coming homd from Harney. Must have all been tucked back in by Stone Island or the government channel.

Some up around mothers arm - some back i the old river cut up around smokehouse
other working old power plant. Most were long ling-ling the spider rigers were on the hunt.

For the heat we have experienced past couple weeks
The weigh in was of normal weights this time of year
Should be about the same at Walk-in-water....not much will change until we get a couple weeks of cooler weather - to get them n the mood to
starting putting on the feed bag

Glad to hear y'all had a good tourney with no stories of misfortune.

Thanks Skeet:

Future tournaments will take a look at what hea range will be - may be some modifying of fishing schedule

6:30 am - 12:30 pm breaking up that killer "heat stroke timing"

Summertime in TN they went to night tourneys. The early weigh in time would have been just as good to me. After 10 it's just punishing.

Good report, hope to see you at Walk n Water, Harold. Weather is starting to cool down a little. Getting out of those 90 degree temps. Maybe mid 80's by the next tournament. :fish

Good job guys. Thanks for sharing.
