Good luck to all you guys fishing the Everstart series about to begin on the Upper Bay. I'm going to try and get to the weigh-in Thursday to check out what comes in.

Wow only 76 boats!
that dropped big time! I hear guys say how the bite is tough out there right now. And the weather is going to flip going into Friday/Saturday.

I was told by some of the guys in the tournament that people were dropping out and they were desperate for boaters.

Im sorry but man I have a lot of disrespect for any boater who signs up, practices and then says naaa im not gonna fish cause its a tough bite. They should be banned from any and all future tournaments. If you enter, you fish it, they have co anglers traveling based upon a boat being in the event, obviously mechanical issues are a different issue, but dropping out cause they couldn't locate fish is pathetic. Dang I hope FLW has a no refund policy after official practice begins.
What happens to the poor co-angler left without a boat? They paid $400 to fish from the back of the boat. Someone laying down $1000.00 to fish an event then backing out sounds crazy to me too.

I would be soooo pissed if I traveled, took time off work and then showed up to a tournament to find out that there's no boat for me.I would be asking for the name of the boater that dropped out. I hope the boaters don't get refunds. Anyone know if they will???

I can't understand why they would throw $1000 away like that. I get that there are additional expenses that they won't have to spend (on hotel and gas), but that’s a big chunk of cash to just leave behind. I think if a coangler got a confirmation notice for the tournament, and then is turned away because a boater/pro drops out, then that coangler should get a portion of the boaters entry fee. As it stands, it looks like all of that would stay with FLW. It would be good if FLW used at least some of that money to find a way to compensate the co's that have to go home without making a cast. I’m not saying they should hand over the whole amount, but a few hundred bucks would be a good start.
never saw so many two fish bags weighed . i was out there yesterday and a couple hours into my day i was thinking im glad im not fishing the everstart . after watching the weigh in i wouldnt have embarrassed myself as bad as i thought . i wonder where the leaders are fishing

Wow....only 16.15 is leading! I was up there checking out the scene today and there were alot of sub-10 pound bags! Guys were saying how tough it is out there today. I think some guys will make an adjustment and get on the bite, and some guys will return to where their fish were and find them gone. Gonna have to watch this one!

If 16 led today then 12 might lead tomarrow.
I think your right,12lbs tomorrow will be at the top. The ride to the Sass is going to be a adventure tomorrow. it s blowing tonight with heavy thundershowers. I live about ten minutes from the Sass but i dont think it is going to muddy up. Good luck guys someone will catch them.
I knew it was going to be tough... But even the local boys were bringing in 2 fish or small bagsI thought for sure some of the Paycheck/ Premiere tournament guys would have some decent bags. Tomorrow with that cold front and wind should make it even more interesting.
Hey John,
It was good meeting you and Uncle Jesse today also! Always good to put a face with a name.

If I wasn't lost, I'd surely know where I was going!
I would hate to be out there today.
I wish I was, I am kicking my self in the ars for not fishing. I love them tough tournaments!
