Is this replacing the Early Bird?

[Bayview Rocky Fork]

I have always done TBX open 2nd weekend of April. I wanted to put a big payback open on for the fishermen. I will be getting more things together and have had people already contacting me for donations. Some have mentioned adding cash to big bass and or paybacks as their donation for advertisement. Any money from business' for advertisement will go directly to the fishermen in the form of payout or big bass pots. No this is not intended to replace anything what they do is their business. I am trying to give a big tournament with excellent payback is all, not many tournament afford that as most are fundraisers.

this weekend looking too rough for my taste! cold-muddy-flooded

[Bayview Rocky Fork]

Not flooded.. In the parking lot now, but will be regular depth by Saturday. Cold is part of it this early in the year unfortunately. Muddy maybe may clear to murky by then. Hope for the best that mother nature can spare I guess.
