Is anyone else going to the Ride the bull this weekend?

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

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.

Drinking a lot of water will help also.

Also 65 bucks is high price to play a lottery

I think it includes a shirt and a couple of meals...live music.

It's been several years since I've done it but they served boiled shrimp on Friday afternoon/evening, you got a decent shirt/goodie bag, and they had a really good raffle too. $65 is about on par with all the other big kayak events.

do not anchor under the bridge, you will catch nothing. left side of pass, 50 yards from end of rocks

Port

Lots of yaks out here already. Even one guy with a rooftop tent on his trailer outside of bridgeside. Glad there is a breeze tonight.

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.
