I'd fish it if I knew how to find something on these waters. I'm just learning this area and have had no luck so far. Maybe next year.

I'm planning to fish it, but haven't registered yet and am starting to lack confidence based on some of the fish that I've heardhave been caught during tourneys on blackwater. If I could just run the river one more day I'd feel a little bit better about it. I just dont know if I'll be able to with me being in MS until Thur. Good luck to you though.

Sad but true, I'm sure a few horrible people in this area have done this or still do it which makes me sick, especially when its hard to buy a bite all dayand someone comes in with 15lbs (which is a big sack around here)and wins it. makes youwonder.But the tournament is for a good cause and I'm still gonna donate my $100 entry fee toit and try to catch some fish at the same time. If you see a green/gold/gray nitro, thats me.

It's unbelieveable what people will do to "win" a tournament. I fished the tournament at Lake Barkely two years ago where a couple of guys got caught emptying a fish basket during a charity tournament. In trying to keep the post short.... Guy was prefishing and snagged something. A fish basket with 4 good fish in it. He called the wardens who marked the fish and staked out the spot out during the tournament. The IDIOTScame and got the fish during the tmnt. They actually culled 3 of the 4 fish but that lucky fish got them busted. They were jailed for a month, boat truck and gear confiscated and fine 12,500 each. On top of that, they were disqualified from tournament fishing in KY and TN. These guys fished the BFL's, FLW and BASS weekend series tournaments. They were banned for life by all 3 circuits.

Isn't it great when the good guys win?

On a good note, if anyone with local experience needs a partner for a tournament, I'm available to pay half the costs. You don't have to be a boater, I have access to a 17 foot Nitro. I would just like to hook up with someone who knows the local water. I really like to tournament fish. PM me if you're interested.
