Ditto on everything Pete and John said. Very poorly ran tourney. The guy operating the scales was wasted and couldn't get the scale set right. No livewell checks. And nobody could agree on the weigh-in time. We could have fished longer than we did, and that last cast could have made all the difference. Let's face it, we all know James has a problem and we all want to see him recover, but it's never going to happen until somebody cleans that place up and gets the slush crew out of there. The stagnant smell of beer and cigarrettes, and the piles of empty beer cans just don't make for an attractive bait and tackle shop.

I'll admit it wasn't the best night at Bob's. When I signed up around 3:00 PM, James asked what time I wanted weigh-in. I said I voted for 8:00 PM. In a space of 2 minutes, he supposedly repeated my vote by saying 8:15 and 8:30 PM. Later I heard him in the office quote the same two times. At blast off, someone else let everyone go. The only thing he got right was to put the boat out in number order. I didn't hear any times. (Not surprising since there were no livewell checks either) At around 7:10 I decided to load up. At the ramp, the Stratos gal was having her typical difficulties in loading, etc. I finally got my boat on the trailer and a young guy came from the office and asked if I wanted to weigh in. I told him the tournament wasn't over yet, and he appeared confused (and I'll say it - intoxicated). I intend to make sure Dennis is present before I spend my gas and tournament money at Bob's in the future. NW has been my favorite fishing hole for a very long time, and I am sorry to say when the cat is away, the rehab mice are present.

fished my last wensday for a while until you get a little adult supervision out there. i was told weigh in at 8:15 so were some others. then some were told 8:30 whats the deal? no one said the time for weigh in when we launched. as far as that goes i may not even do the sunday ones anymore either.

Me and Pete are coming.

Should be several people from what I have heard. If we get 10 or more boats we will raffle off a $25.00 Wa Wa gift card.
