SEATROUT SHOOTOUT ROLL CALL

[Jumptrout51]

Team "Coastal Angler Magazine" is in. Bryce Hill, Blake Hill and myself.

Make up your mind. Are you guys shooting for the 17th place prize?

[captkeyser]

We are going to do our best Steve. 17 would be just fine with us!

Looks like Irene might not let any of us play this weekend. Hoping that's not the case, but it's looking ugly for Friday pre-fishing anyway.

[GaryDroze]

That storm could wreck my strategy. A really hard rain might wash off all those spots I was going to paint on the redfish.

[DOWNTIME]

steve why you gotta spell my name wrong why cant you just put DOWNTIME? me n you gunna have a little talk after we take your money at the weigh inn

[fishinfool]

I stopped in to Kevin's yesterday evening. The way Lin and Miles were talking the rest of you contestants should probly stay home.

[Jumptrout51]

If Lin weighs a fish in this Shootout it will be the first Shootout he has weighed a fish.

[SHOWBOAT]

Lin is fishing with a Callahagn, Liam I think, so I assume he'll have some nice fish.

Miles probably won't...

[Jumptrout51]

He is fishing with Jason and Jason can't catch anything under 20 inches. At least according to his picture post.

Hope NOAA's current predictions are incorrect. Can't troll for trout in 3 to 4 footers.

[silverking]

Maybe we'll get lucky, cap'n. But it's chunk and wind, regardless.

All fish must be caught on rod and reel. No line (mono or braid) restrictions. Live, dead and artificial baits are permitted. Treble hooks are permitted for LURES ONLY. No treble hooks are allowed for live- or dead-bait fishing. All fish must be caught alive in a conventional sporting manner. Trolling as a method of fishing is prohibited. All anglers must fish from their boat – wade fishing is prohibited. No fishing of pre-baited holes or holding of holes at anytime. No outside assistance whatsoever during tournament hours. No marina fishing, pet fishing or fishing boat ramps. Tournament officials may come aboard your vessel and inspect at any time.

All the above leaves CaptainK out of the loop.

[Talltails]

Looking forward to this tournament. Without a big trout to count, the whole field is in this one. They should have gone ahead and just made it the "trout with the most spots" wins

[GaryDroze]

Any tournament official comes aboard my 11 foot canoe and we're both going swimming in the creek.

Uh huh, plant the seed and then when the tourney officials come on board and swamp the canoe, you'll be wade fishing. Pretty crafty strategy there, Gary.
