NOAA says: Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 46. North northwest wind between 9 and 14 mph.

Saturday: Sunny, with a high near 67. North northwest wind between 14 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.

Saturday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 52. North northwest wind between 11 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.

Goodluck fellas to all who's hittin this one, keep your eyes on that guy ROB, he's quite the competitor and on a hot roll right now! wish I could join ya, but work got in the way of this one.

If those wind predictions are true the dam area will be hell.

The Yorty, Cherry creek, Smith creek areas are pretty well protected from the NNW winds.

No live bait. DFG doesn't allow it to be used in tournaments.

A lot of us are staying at the "Boat-In" camp grounds. I reserved a couple spaces at Rustlers. I got six cases of beer donated by Six Rivers Brewery. I plan on setting up my two sites as a destination spot. We are going to have a big fish fry at my two camp sites in Rustlers on Saturday night.

We will be there tomorrow night 9ish if you have room in the campground.

No live bait for catfish? DFG rules I thought were no live bait for black bass. Are you sure?

Pardon my naiveté but do night crawlers qualify as live bait?

Live bait can't be used for a Bass tournament according to DFG. Since it is a multifish tournament and bait cannot be regulated no live bait will be used for the tournament.
