    IM sent to you.............I was there in our club tx and fishing is awsome !!. Fish are on banks, mostly males with very few females. Females are still staging in 4 to 6 ft of water and not in back of pockets yet, but getting closer. Next two weeks on bull will be like taking candy from a baby.................wish I was still there fishing. ...........Roger

    no, it is not open. you have to be affiliated with tyson, or fish with someone who is. my brother is a biologist for tyson. if you can find you someone who works for tyson bring it on. it is $80 per boat, there is usually around 350 boats.

    well friday, i couldn't get my lure in the water fast enough. caught around 20 pounds, about 13 over 15 inches. but..........saturday, i couldnt buy a decent bite. i fished the same spots the same style, nothing but 14 inchers biting. the wind kicked up quite a bit i was unable to bed fish. caught nothing but kentuckies and largemouth friday, and nothing but smallies saturday.
