Anchor under the bridge, it's hot as hell out there.

I would pay attn to the tide. The year I did it, we were in no rush to get out there, and we should have. The outgoing tide was so strong you could barely fish. Most of the fish were caught well before.

If you can find them get some big/heavy jigheads(1-2oz) and some Gulp 6" mullets. Those catch well.

It'll be hot as hell, make sure to pack enough to keep yourself hydrated, sunscreen, big hat, shirt with sleeves, etc. I'd imagine come about 10am a ton of people will start heading in due to heat.

RTB is practically a fish lottery more than it is an actual tournament. There's a shite ton of people out there so odds are there will be some lines tangled at some point. Don't take it too serious and have fun.

I have quite a few friends that will be fishing RTB this weekend. Wife’s birthday, so I’m out.

Live mullet on Carolina rig, or cracked crab. Low tide for Saturday is at 2 pm.

Obviously I'm not going, but have fun. I used to fish catfish tournaments on the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio Rivers back in the day and always had a good time. Heck, I'd do it again now that I have time to do it but I'd have to get another boat or Jerry rig a livewell because they require a minimum of 50 gallons, some even more than that.

I had a lot of fun just sitting under the pavilion with an icechest and watching last year. Sounds like maybe fewer entrants this year? Opted out of doing that this year bc of the heat, I’ve been spit roasted enough already this summer.
