    Chester County Bass Masters Open # 5 moved to Nov 17th.




    Forecast for Saturday is not conducive to fishing a safe tournament.

    1 + inch of rain later today thru tonight.



    Sustained winds on TX Saturday of 18 to 20 with gusts to 35 / 40, muddy water with debris washing down the creek and Susky.


    Small Craft advisory issued.

    With all that, we will move the last Open to next Saturday, November 17th.

    We have never cancelled / moved an Open, but the combination of debris in the water and sustained high winds and cold temps are too risky to send boats out on the Upper Bay.



    18 to 33 knots = 21 to 38 MPH

    It was a good call to cancel the Tnx. I launched out of Anchor yesterday morning about 0730 hrs. The wind was blowing right up the River and Anchor had huge waves rolling into it. If I didn't have a rider with me I could not have launched or taken out without destroying my boat on the floating docks. The floating docks at the ramp were so bouncy that I could not pick my rider up off them. He had to go around to the long docks coming from the restaurant. It was really dangerous but we got it done without injury or damage to my boat.
    There was only a couple places fishable on the river. The East side, even back in the marina's was unfishable. We fished Arundle pier and shore and some of the shore and piers down river a bit by the big brick house. The bite was pretty tough for us. I caught 3 keepers and they weighed 11+ pounds. My buds from Hazzard county BM John and Troy caught several and their best five went 14 pounds. We fished until 1500 hrs and we all had enough by that time. John and Troy won bragging rights on this one. And thanks to my friend Travis from Team Outcast for coming out with me, he a pleasure to fish with.
