Sweet...now I can keep all my 11. 3/4 inch trout...as long as there tail touches 12 with a pinch:D

Affirmative. Just watch out for that shrinkage factor.

LMAO! Fa real!!!

Boat driver knows about the shrinkage factor all to well

Lets just say, shrinkage has helped me with a tournament red....Thank god they didn't have to be alive :rotfl:

yea because we packed that sucker in the ice...got him real cold

LA Saltwater series will deduct 1/2 for each dead fish. In a tight tournament it will hurt you more then help you.

that was a close one

Went from 27 3/4 to a 26 3/4 lol

i told you that all those trout were legal that day!

yea....I know ...all the trout tournaments are live weight ins...but this one we had no choice but to kill it..it was a hair over the legal size...put in ice for 3 hours until weight in and came out just right...and won our team $500

All Redfish will be measured with mouth closed and with pinched tail. Any fish that appears to have been iced, penned, mangled, mashed, mauled or otherwise altered will not be weighed at the discretion of the weigh master.
From the rules

Its almost here fellers..........

Can a team still sign up??

You can pre-register @ lasaltwaterseries.com
You can also sign up at the landing the morning of the tournament

Kool
Thanks

Anyone have any numbers on how may boats their expecting to be out??

Not to sure, is there way to see how many have registered?
I'll prolly register tonight hope it's a good turnout

I will be in Dularge for the weekend. If any of you guys run into Dwayne Mills who is the tournament director, tell him "Foti" said hey! Dwayne is a great guy, and is originally from Opelousas, LA. He and I were great friends back in grade school and he went on to a very sucessfull career with the United States Marine Corps. I haven't seen him in a long time so I am hoping to see him before the tournament.

I am registering tonight. No clue on the overall count.

Will be a good time regardless!

I would say 30 to 40 boats

From a reliable source... There is about 100 boats to fish.....25-from the east side...20 from Texas and 30-50 with in 60 miles of Big Lake

GAWD Damn! There gonna be some potlicking goin on!

Wiers+gulp=check

100 boats would make a 1st place payout over $5000

I figure more like 10K???? I don't think all them boys are coming for a small payout:confused:

We had 47 at the last event in laffite
1st place was 2500

There is a payout scale on there web site. http://www.lasaltwaterseries.com/***...out_Matrix.pdf. Maybe its not showing up right on my iphone

I made some calls and hear as many as 150 boats are signed up but I guess we will not know for sure till the morning of the tourney

should make for interesting fishing if the winds keep blowing.....
