Larry I only plan on sticking your fish  ,  but on a serious not I usually bend my hooks in when prefishing.  I still think that them biting might spook them though because I've never caught a fish that  I've left the day before?

Larry, Why are you telling everybody what my plans are?    I am over due for a couple of good days on that lake.....  

Good idea Larry.  Susan and I should be pulling in sometime in the afternoon.  We will probably cruise some spots and inspect.

Just remember last year...I went out Friday and stuck three fish that went around 12 lbs and got butkus in the tourney...I will be cruising looking for water temps and visible fish.....but not fishing.

Jon,

Ive never even done remotely well in our tournaments on Silver so you don't have to worry about it, If you fish an open down there though you better bring your A game.

The forcast for the week looks great and the fish will move up. Larry said he found water at 58 last weekend. I say the winning weight will be around 23 pounds.

We can but you can't  You know the lake too well already need to give us rookies a chance .

Yes

Can we still pre-fish the friday before tournaments?

I caught nothing and seen nothing, but I expect this weekend to be a lot better.

Okay folks.....the tough fishing continues....fished 3 hours Friday in rain...ice pellets....Saturday with Jose with a bad charge on the trolling batts....wind but sunny and Sunday bright sun 65-70 degrees and not until the last day did I see 58 degree water and cruising fish that are very skiddish and spooky.....saw maybe 12 fish and worked one 2 lber untill he got pissed and swam off!
Lets just say that if the forcast stays as they say we are gonna have a good fish turnout!!!!
Especially since I am sporting the Mustache-less look due to my need-for-change fishing policy!

Come on Chis this sport is all about overcoming adversity. Think of how good it would have felt to pull a couple of fish in the boat in those conditions.........

I am a fishing machine, but to drive that far to pre-fish in those temps would kill me before the tournament started.   

See you saturday larry.

Chris,

You wimp. I thought you were a fishing machine.
