Man, you walk into the lobby here at the Radisson and you can feel the energy in the air. The only way things could get better for me was if the water came up....surprise surprise surprise....it's raining and will for 2 days and stop just in time for competition days. More water will only help me. My predictions were spot on according to Bill Taylor of FLW.
I took the kids to Cabelas and BPS yesterday, they had a blast. Either way this week will be a trip. Hope to make y'all proud and make a show of it. You can watch live on flwoutdoors.com via flw live starting at 3:00pm CST or 4:00pm EST Thursday and Friday. Dunno my boat #'s yet but I'll try to post again later. Doubt I'll sleep much.
And a big kuddos to Greg Meyer for hooking me up to prefish. Without that, I'd be dead in the water literally. All the TBF regional champs I've run into (3 so far including Harkness the winner) came up and prefished. Sounds like everyone found fish, but enough or big enough??? We'll see. The guys running to pool 13 are the only threats but they trade 2 more hours of fishing for that run. I will run a total of 4 hrs and fish 4 hrs. They run 6 hrs for 2 hrs of fishing.....big gamble. But it's a gamble that paid off for Davy Hite 2 yrs ago. Lots of stressful decisions at this level. But I'm just taking 7 of the max 10 rods allowed and will only really have 3 on the deck and a minimal amount of tackle. Getting back to basics and doing what I do best.....flippin.
