7.19 after day one. Struggled to find fish. Doesn't help that I haven't been on Sak all year. Hoping for a better day 2.

 

[shorthairsrus]

Good luck boys. Hope u get da Biggys. I may drive over from devils day trip wife's idea. Call us crazy but we miss the big girl

 

[Reprobait]

It looks like some storms headed for the lake.

 

[Vollmer]

Storm kicked a pile of rain. Full blown monsoon. I hunkered down while partner went to get pickup. Told him, check radar, if it's going to blow over in the next hour, just come back to the boat. If it's going to set in, come pick me up with trailer and load the boat. Well we loaded the boat, and 5 minutes later it was over.

Bad decision on our part.

In fairness, there was a fair shake of lightning around and it was raining, full monsoon mode.

It took us most of the day on day one to get into the fish, since neither of us had fished sak this year. Found our 5 in the last couple of hours. We felt dialed in day 2. Cauht 6 in the first 2 hours, with a 20" in the mix. I was pretty confident that we could get a few more 20's on the day.

Chalk it up as rookie mistakes. Looking forward to next year. I'm really liking the whole tournament scene.

thanks to KFYR RADIO for the above info.

 

[Davey Crockett]

Tough going out there today I bet. Every year I hone in on this tournament thinking this is the year that someone really gets into some nice fish but it never happens, Anyone think she will ever come back to the level of production we saw in the late 70s early 80s ?

 

[Marbleyes]

We ended up right around 10# after day one with 4 fish. Caught around 20 but set our minimum at 16". The 4 we weighed were 17-21". Caught a 15" with 10 minutes left before check in and tossed it back. Was pretty disappointed it wasn't at least an inch longer. Oh well. Today we were the last flight out and fished for about 40 minutes before the shitstorm started. We had lightning to the north, south and west of us and it was getting too close for my comfort so I decided to head in. Kind of bummed because we had 2 fish on that we lost, one was a nice fish and also missed a few in just 40 minutes. Wind and rain don't bother me but with lightning going on way too close to us it just wasn't worth it. Oh well, maybe next time. Feel pretty decent about our first day being that we didn't do any pre fishing and I have only fished sak 2 times this year and my partner hadn't even fished even once anywhere this year before Friday.

Congrats to the winners and everyone else who did well. They definitely earned it. Also, thanks to all the volunteers and Jim Carroll. This tourney runs pretty smooth thanks to them. Also, Jim Carroll just makes you excited about the weigh ins just through his enthusiasm. He made the weigh ins more entertaining than they normally are.

Do they let you go back out if you come in because of weather? If it clears up I don't see why not.

 

[DirtyMike]

Nice work plain skeeter. Didn't know if you were fishing the cup or not.

 

[Sum1]

Can you put ten in the livewell and way your biggest five? Is that how it work?

Most on this site have no idea how good the fishing was in the early 80's. A friend of mine caught 3 eleven pounders in one day. Another time he and another guy came back with a limit of ten, nothing under 7 pounds. Those were the days. Five pounders were the average size.

 

[Marbleyes]

Do they let you go back out if you come in because of weather? If it clears up I don't see why not.

The rules state that you can't leave your boat during the tourney. They have said at rules meetings that you can pull up on shore to ride out storms but I'm not sure that you can trailer your boat and then come back in. I think people would complain about that one. Don't know though.

Kurt, you can put 8 in your livewell and weigh 5. Every year I see 10 fish for 8-10 pounds and some 2 fish for 1.5 pounds. A couple years ago there was a 1 fish for .38 pounds basket. Not sure why people would want to weigh such small fish but to each their own.

 

[tikkalover]

I think they weigh that small of a basket because they hope everyone did as shitty as they did, or its a thing about not finishing last. Like you said to each their own. Yesterday mornings weather is the reason I don't fish tournaments. I've always considered myself a fair weather fisherman. ;:;boozer

The rules state that you can't leave your boat during the tourney. They have said at rules meetings that you can pull up on shore to ride out storms but I'm not sure that you can trailer your boat and then come back in. I think people would complain about that one. Don't know though.

Kurt, you can put 8 in your livewell and weigh 5. Every year I see 10 fish for 8-10 pounds and some 2 fish for 1.5 pounds. A couple years ago there was a 1 fish for .38 pounds basket. Not sure why people would want to weigh such small fish but to each their own.

I asked. If you put it on trailer you are done. Many put on shore and hunkered down in bathrooms and such.

The reason for that small weight was there was a team that had to pull out of the tournament. Instead of getting their entry fee back they wanted it to go to the smallest fish caught.
