Bill Spence.... If he is in it 86.5 pounds

On the Pro side: Sapp 99.89 pounds

On the Co-Angler side: ME 50 pounds

Sapp, 69lbs

Roy Dessmingles will win the CO side with 56.5o pounds. He can catchem.

There are a number of good choices for the Pro side.

Really? You think its going to tale 18.83 a day on the CO side??

Mike,
You kill me...Can you fish without Bobby........LOL

On a serious side you are a good shot for a top ten....with the right draw...Good Luck

If you only knew........

Now Mike lets not forget, you can share your water on Day One but not 2 or 3. If you share with your day One Pro, talking on day 2 or 3 would be wrong.......and could hurt day one and be preceived as sharing day ones water.....

*NM*

KEN SCHMITT WILL WIN WITH 72.5 POUNDS

Dee Thomas w/ 84.50

Mike if he's around big water for 3 days

Rich Thiel

MIKE PHUA pro side 88.0 pounds, ERIC PARRA 66.0 CO-ANGLER

OK, STOP LAUGHING! I DREMPT THAT! DONT CRUSH MY DREAMS OK

Mike that is right as soon as day 1 fishes an area if you talk to day 2 or 3 you have broken the rules by talking about where day 1 fished, once he fishes it it is now a location he has been, to take another pro there is a clear rule violation. If day 1 protests because he sees you there he is right weather you found the water or not. Dose it mean you will get cought, NO but it is still not right. Also you are an AM helping the Pro in a non shared event, is wrong he should find fish not the AM....At least that is the way I see it, All the Pros put up 3K+ it is there job to locate fish not some local AM.... That includes me as well as you

*NM*

mike go easy on me in this tournament!! i think i might help you out with some money to get you to move up so i might have a chance to win!!! haha..see ya next week bud

Look me up and say hi Justin. I'll be wearing a black Hook Line & Sinker polo shirt or a Hook Jacket if its cold.

sounds good! btw i have taken a few pros to my water and it has never been a problem!

Tough call, I guess it is a judgement call for (10,000-100,000) you have to decide, that is alot of money. If you are fishing on the Pro side, would you want another Pro drawing your AM twin.....?? and telling him that is the PRO, who really did not need any prefishing, where to get fish and beat you.....Just food for thought. I feel if day 1 needs water fine but that water is offlimits on day 2 and 3, the rule states you can not talk about what day 1 did Period........

Now You may have 3 days worth of good water.

See you on the water

nobody says mike has to talk to his day 2 or day 3 about what day 1 did, he can take his partners to his water, not like mike is going to be saying they were bitting a 4" boom boom tube, he will use that info for his benifit while fishing from the back of the boat on his water.

You may be reading the rules incorrectly. The rule is intended so that the non-boater does not return to the pro's water. However, if the non-boater takes the pro to a location, then the location belongs to the co-angler and not the pro.

In either case communication is the best policy.

Maybe Mike should ask Chris before the tournament!

Thank you Ricky.

The correct answer is always the one you want to hear........Talking about day 1 or 2 is a rule violation period. How a CO treats it is up to them. I have fish tour. on the delta for ten+ years, I guess it is all my water....LOL......

Hell I have read it here I should just be happy to set in the back and learn from the PRO... I am sure that is what I read right here. Or is that only apply when it sounds good to a Pro to write it..... I have also read here that some PRO don't need pre fish time on the water.....is that because they want advice from the CO.....This is only a question...But I did read it here...........

I think that he has received some good advice-Ask the TD and communicate with your partner.

If you draw me you won't have to worry because I will live and die on my own stuff.

If you take a Pro(boater) to something and you don't want him to return then tell them. This is exactly why I don't fish other people's spots.

I hate to say it but my prediction is that it will be sapp, reese, and possibly stafford or thompson (if hes in it) in the top. On coangler side I will go with desmangles. He is always there in the , money. But who knows, maybe Roland or Barrack or Lee on the pro side.

Dee Thomas with 68.75lb

Oh Mike I do get it, and you can word it anyway that makes it work, it is not for me to say. Mike at 45 I hear just fine. But thanks for asking.......This is a question of inturpetation nothing more.....

AM's are in the back to learn, or have you not been listening to the posts here.

Good Luck.

In a pro-am yes! In a National Guard no! (most) CO's dont pay $700 to go out and "learn" something. NG CO's are seasond anglers who choose not to/cant afford to fish on the Pro side.

that could be a very expensive guide trip with a chance at not catching squat, huh mike?

I agree, the co's on teh NG are seasoned anglers...

Thank God we AGREE

It should be seen that way in any non shared event. And you are dead right CO's are there as CO's due to boat or cash.

SEE YA

Are you fishing it Tom? Co or Pro?

Co Am NG and Stren, Not Havasu, maybe Clear Lake. All the Stren. Not Cash for me But Boat. Blown out Spine in 2003 from rough water in Delta, now titiuam spine and will fish Pro Next year, if body will allow.

But I have followed your fishing since 2000 and Bobby D. as well as others.

*NM*

I have had so many computers I have lost track of user names here, but I have been hear since you where Raider Mike, and before....lol

Good luck next week, if this is your first non shared event, just enjoy the ride........It was all there was at Mead, I drew Great guys there and Shasta, but it is different then shared weight....

Oh I should not forget I stood next to Ricky-S at Shasta......LOL at the weigh -in. you just never know who you will meet out there

SEE YA

Where's the love frog??

Can I be 2nd?

Nobody mentioned Pat Wilson yet for the CO title. That's who I scared of And that Justin Lucas Kid!

Ahh RaiderMike. But that wasnt my first screen name.......anyone????

FOCUS ON FISHING DANIELSON!

Me

getting

old

like Jim?

Yes

Raider Mike Connalow

Nope! My original screen name was...........Flipper

Mike, I can't imagine any pro who had to ask you to take him to a spot on days 1 or 2 could possibly think that would become the pro's exclusive spot later in the tournament. I don't think you could expect the first pro not to return if you guys caught fish there, but none of the guys I have fished with out here would expect you to stay off your spot for the rest of the tournament.

I can tell you, I have heard more BS from COs about how great a bite they are on and all sorts of stories about hot spots that just don't end up panning out. I will listen though and try to assess the COs credibility, especially if I'm not familiar with the water. I don't know Mike, but he sounds like the kind of guy I would like to draw for the last day. I have not spent a ton of time at the Delta and I might only have enough water for one or two days. If I'm sucking wind on day 3 and have a local in the boat who has spent a lot of time on the water, I'm certainly not above asking if there is something he would like to try. This is even more true if he is in the hunt and I'm not.

Good Luck! See you all next week.

BS from just CO anglers? I would venture to say we have all heard some wild fish tales
