How was the turn out for the night tourney? Also, how often do you run a night tourney? I would think the weights would've been big. Can you provide any report?

[shrapnel]

I fished it with my son.  I think the weather kept numbers down a little but I believe they had 30+ boats.  23+lbs won it.  We had 17-18lbs with 5 solid fish just did not get a big fish to the boat.  Pretty cool to me that with 18lbs we don't bother weighing in, what a lake.

I would like to see a tournament from about 4am to 10am. Then you can get off the water early and not have to worry with people coming home from bars at 1am

[slothman]

There were 30 boats. A few less than expected. Probably due to the poor weather forecast. 23.05 got 1st place. I believe 19.28 was the last check cashed, but don't quote me on that. 1st big bass was 6.17 and 2nd big bass was 5.86.

I always considered 15# a pretty good day, and I still do.   I'm usually good for 2-3 20+lb. limits per year but I darn sure can't do it consistently.  

The boys that can pull that off on a semi-regular basis pretty much have to be homed in on schools of released fish. In a natural environment you are just not going to consistently be able to locate and catch limits of 4-6 pounders during all four seasons of the year.

Wow, those are some good weights. I would always be happy with 18 pounds, good job! Let's us know when the other night tournaments are, sounds fun, even if u have to be a machine to cash a check, doesn't mean you can give it a try and have some fun!

The next open tournament will be July 22. Same times: 8:00pm-7:00am. Out of PB2.

I'm amazed at guys like Wiese and Sykora who consistently catch these 17-25 lb bags every weekend. It's darn impressive. And they don't seem like the kind of guys who just setup camp outside PB2.

I don't think I've ever caught 20+ lbs in one day. Best 5 over the course of a couple days yes but never in one 8 hr period. I was on my way one night last summer. Had 4 for 18.5 lbs. Just needed one more keeper. Lost a 4 lber earlier in the night that would've put us at 22+. Thought we had it at the end of the night too but it ended up being a 5.5 lb flathead
