Seems like there's less boats than usual this year. I'm not fishing the tourney but weather ran us off the water.

Gonna go grab some food and head to the weigh in to check it out. Is the 10.34 still in the lead?

10.86 has been leading since yesterday morning. There's plenty of boats, especially on the Southend.

Its the usual circus with thousands of boats, just throw in a 30mph south wind. Fishing is tough. Toledo is overfished, and the alarmist are still spraying chemicals and eliminating all aquatic vegetation. Soon, Tdecline is going to be real!!!

I've noticed fish at the weigh in before that were belly up in the bags going back to the boat to release them. Yesterday I walked out there and asked the boy standing there if I could look in. He said sure.

I looked in and there were fish floating all in there belly up. I said looks like a lot of them aren't gonna make it. He said no they haven't been poked yet. He was taking a needle and poking their "airsac" to get them to sink and they would revive.

Just thought it was interesting

Yeah I've watched them do that at weigh ins before. The ones that get caught deep and brought up too fast do that. Once they release the air they recover pretty much immediately.

My brother and I won a club tournament out there one year and every fish we weighed in needed to be fizzed.

We tried to fish Negreet humps early so crowded and full of inconsiderate people we left at 9:50am with one weighable fish about 4.5 to 4.75....There was 31 boats on Boone's point at 10am Saturday morning. Crossed over to Indian Mounds area and could see more than 60 from where we sat stayed about 45 mins. Rolled into housing and just couldn't even count them all, over 100 boats easy. Rolled right out and down to six mile never wet a hook. Community hole looked like a summer time beach party there was so many boats easy 60 plus kept rollin. Never slowed down headed into Mill Creek, Every point and hump we could see had 3 to 5 boats on top of each other, Headed to Texas Islands and there were more people fishing around all sides than there was at that little sand bar next to it. Crossed over to Lousiana side same thing all the way back up to Arnolds on every point in every cove. We are certain we seen over 500 boats on that ride. We made it back to the camp, released that one fish around 2:45 Loaded the boat stowed our gear and decided they could have it. We were done.

Any deep grass? Did you see any people "strolling" for crappie?

Found some hydrilla in 13-15 ft of water on a hump. It wasn't thick, thick, but it was pretty plentiful. Caught a few fish off that hump just not big ones.

Sounds like you need to get up earlier haha.

I hope you aren't talking about Sunday because they had fish less than 3 pounds getting in the money all day.
