Bill Babler Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It looked like LOZ on July 4 weekend at Coffman Bend this morning. I mean the race was on. Just about as many boats as I’ve seen making that turn. They must have found them good up the White as I sure would not have wanted to make that run this morning at 19 degree. Results will be interesting. Quillback and snagged in outlet 3 1 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Cold morning, glad to be in the house. But I agree that the results should be interesting. snagged in outlet 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ188 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Blaukat drew out with another boater because he didn't link up with a co-angler when he signed up and they came up short on the co-angler side. He was not happy on his daily YouTube video/rant. I've been around the guy quite a bit and he's likable in person ... I just wish he'd not be such a whiner. But he's spot-on on his stance against FFS. We share the opinion that schooled, open-water fish (as crappie are much of the year in lakes like TR where the cover is thinning by the day) are gonna get hammered until we have a numbers problem. I could care less about it anymore where tournaments are concerned ... if I fish a tournament these days, it's because I believe I can beat the scopers with my own brand of fishing. But I hate to see our crappie and especially our walleye, which for now have a nice foothold in Beaver and TR, get wiped out by meat hogs. Doesn't help that enforcement is in way short of the officers they need to uphold our laws. tjm, Daryk Campbell Sr, snagged in outlet 3 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 Met Blaukat a couple of times at Kings Harbor Bait Shop when it was open years ago. I like most everyone but he was pretty hard to take. I remember when he went out the door one of the owners said she hoped that arrogant P$$$k would never come back in her shop. He always wanted something free or at a discount. I remember her saying for some guy that’s a pretty average fisherman he thinks he’s God’s gift. The ladies that owned that shop and I will say it was a fantastic store. Better than any we have on the lake now, were pretty out spoken. Beck and I have to giggle said never P!$$ off Jonie or Judy. On top of that, those gals could flat out fish.

I wanted to say hate watch but I don’t really hate it😂 cheesemaster and Champ188 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'll defend Randy until the cows come home. He gets blasted for "negativity" but the grass ain't always green. There are bonafide issues that truly need to be tended to. And thus far he's the only one with the balls enough to stand-up and fight the fight. If Clunn, Nixon, Vandam, ect. would be honest about their true feelings, and concerns, then things would have NEVER gotten to this point, because bygod everyone would listen to THEM. But their pussied approach and unwillingness to upset anyone has just left the door wide open. They wanna be LOVED, and that's all they really care about. 😮💨 If anything I have gained WAY MORE respect for Randy Blauket, and have lost respect for the big-timers that everyone bows down to. They took a giant crap on the sport IMO. snagged in outlet 3, Champ188 and waterpossum 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the electronic manufacturers would have pulled back on FFS development because of those guys or anyone. They knew from the jump it would fly off the shelf.

The electronic manufacturers can do whatever they please, but BASS, MLF, NPFL ect. would never have ignored the forefathers of professional fishing. It's actually kinda funny, because all of the guys that were saying....."oh just shut up and fish"....7 months ago......are now slowly beginning to piss & moan. Reconsidering their position as more & more young gamers with zero fishing experience are drifting around out in the middle of the coves, and taking their money.

Quillback Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It's interesting that the crusader is fishing today in a BFL that will be dominated by FFS. Maybe he'll stand up and fight at the weigh in.
