Hmmmm I'm still worried about Billy K and Johnny B showing up in drag to win it all. That ceratinly would give them a substantial head start. (and a good portion of the lake to themselves!)

Na.. that's when we just let the HPS shine... they do their best work in the murky water!....

i got the same exact hps lights you do and they was not going in at all...best vis was like 6". But then i didnt go all over the entire lake either and im sure there is some good water out there somewhere. Cant wait to see how the lake does this week and what it looks like sat.

We won't be getting there until around 5 PM so we won't be fishing during the daytime (have to give you all a head start in order to keep it fair), we should be there for the dinner and will then start chasing after dark.

I hear the water up north around Wilborn Creek is always clearer at this time of year ; )
