Sure hope the wind lays down. That will be the only thing keeping us from coming to this event. Same thing happened earlier this year. We came and sat on our friends couch for 3 days before Drew called the tournament off and rescheduled a date we couldn't make. 3000 miles is a little too far to come to just hang out.

looks like we should see a window. pray to the wind gods

We had a great turnout tonight. As of right now, we have 65 boats. I'm expecting to sign up a few more over the next 2 days.

FYI - If anyone signs up on Fri/Sat - You must pay CASH ONLY.

Thanks and have a great night,
Tracey

its on ladies!!!

ELECTRIC1 · 12-02-2007, 06:15 AM

Well unfortunately not much to report for the "CPR". We had a few slashed baits, lost 1 descent fish after a short fight. We did miss the captains meeting for a practice run with the crew. Went 1 for 2 with a 50" fish. This was our first tourney and we will be BACK! Thanks for the comedy on the radio it helped pass some time even though it bothered some..

The bite was weak. I know of several skunked teams that are usually in the money. It think "luck" was the best bait last night.

Congrats to the winning teams!! Tuff night finding the fish.

PURPLE FEVER · 12-02-2007, 01:33 PM

Congratulations to the winners!

Tough night for us, one small fish at the boat.

Sopla2o · 12-02-2007, 04:03 PM

Congratulations on the winners.... Well deserved ....

Flyin By · 12-02-2007, 08:34 PM

Way to stick out the weather, good job teams..

JahMussa · 12-02-2007, 10:24 PM

We ended up being the 2nd luckiest team that night. Lots of drama, a late start, a 20 mile run to make the weigh-in with an overheating engine. Making the top 5 on a tough night... well worth the effort for our first tourney on the new boat.

btw... SwordSlasher dropped off the first batch of gaffs before the tourney. They are really nice and hold up great to a greenish fish. If anyone needs to see these heavy duty gaffs ... contact me

-Tek

Nick C · 12-02-2007, 11:05 PM

WTG Rumblefish, Tek, Loyal Blue and the the other winners! Good to see some friends in the winners circle. We were 0-0 but had a fat 68-70" fish follow a bait up to the light as I pulled the bait out of the water... she made one pass by the bait when i dropped it back then swam off and ate one of Tek's baits

And Thanks Drew and Tracy for all the BS and hard work you two put into this. Time to chill out now

Shortfin · 12-03-2007, 04:41 PM

Nice work to all that were in the winners circle

Good to see your face up there Tek

FishGuyDave · 12-05-2007, 08:14 AM

From all of us here at Nova Southeastern, I also wanted to say thanks to Drew and Tracey for welcoming me and my grad student at the tournament for our stomach sampling. Next time, I'll bring my own slime knife to clean them better for you! Also, we were going to give out a t-shirt (one per team) to the boats giving us their stomachs -- if you didn't get one, but would like to, drop me a line with your contact info.

We're working on getting together a website so that we can start getting out this feeding ecology work to you all -- we know that there's a lot of interest in what these fish are eating out there. We're also looking for more stomachs from non-tournament fish, especially ones caught in the daytime. If you're interested at all in donating stomachs to the project, let me know. We'll even come to you to pick them up.

Congrats to all this past weekend!

Congrats to all the winners! WTG Tek and Jeff, Rumblefish and everyone who was lucky enought to get a bite. We lost the first fish we had on, but got lucky enough for a 2nd Chance and pulled off 5th place by a few oz.
