Some nice fish have been caught lately. Team Troller will be there

Justin and I will be there. I believe it will be won by lunch cause of the boat traffic. I will say 52 with a 22 bigfish

Sorry folks,I made a mistake,the correct date is Saturday April 14th....not the 12th that I have above.

I'm 50/50 on whether I will make this one. There is a good chance I will be working that day.

I'm with Cary in that the tournament will be won early. If it is cloudy and rainy the bite would probably be a lot better because it would keep the pleasure boats at home. Either way, the lake will most likely be run over with bass boats. The warm weather has the patterns 30-45 days ahead of where they normally are this time of the year. I think there are 2-3 boats that know where the fish are right now, but the weather and boat traffic will dictate whether those patterns produce.

My Prediction:
Winning Weight: 62 Pounds
Big Fish: 32 Pounds

Sounds like a good tournament, good luck to everyone!

They are biting great during day as well as during the night so it will be a good tournament. However, i prefer tough conditions on tournament day.... Bring on the boat traffic. Its just a part of the Wylie deal!
I think your prediction is low. Its going to push 80lbs.

[Jeffrey Green]

Looking forward to this tournament.I'll say 34lb Big Fish with 68 lb. total 3 fish.

[WylieCat]

I won't make this one, but will make a heck of a lot more money where I will be at!!

It has been easy for me to put 45 pounds in the boat with three fish on every trip I've been out on, so I am sure someone will come up with a kicker or two to boost the weight up to the 60 pound range. Hopefully this cold snap will not have a negative effect on the bite next week.

Good luck, and if I am done working in time I might be able to make the weigh-in!!

[Stump Grinder]

We will be there.
