I've imported the sand fleas from AB  If you want to fish the event you can still register Sat morning from 5am to 6am near the ramp. Start time is 6am. Come on out and enjoy the fun.

Hey all, I just picked up this tournament board for this weekend - need an official ruling (pun intended) on whether or not this measuring device is ok to use.

It's not a trough, which is what is driving the question.

Thanks!

Rad, that board will not work. I suggest you get a white official hog trough. I have an extra board I can bring for you to use if you can't get one. Just remind me with a PM tomorrow night. I'll have it at the check-in in the AM.

Ok guys my Pre-fish report for the Roundup.... heehaw!

Met Caddy Chris at about 630 am at the Greenhorn launch. No wind, water temp 61 deg. Starting looking for crappie first, but I realized i forgot my panfish stuff. I did have a few 1/8oz hair jigs which I've caught them on before so I started looking. I spent 2 hours and lost 4 jigs but I did manage close to a dozen small/ medium bass. I was done with that. I then started trolling for trout on the way to the main body of the lake, one hit, LDR. I trolled for about an hour and marked lots of fish but with no wind they were deeper than I expected and didn't have any means of getting down to them.

Sure enough I was on the main body and started bass fishing. I started catching fish right away on jerk baits, shakey head and senkos. I might was good but all the fish were about 12-15'. Sure enough I started targeting main body points and the wind then kicked in. This is what I was waiting for... the wind creates current on this lake and it's very noticeable from the red sand and debris lines. I started catching good fish, the biggest going over 20". I caught about a half dozed solid fish... who says Rollins doesn't have good fish! Maybe they should fish with me 

So to sum it all up, the lake is on WFO!!! The water temp hit 70 degrees! These fish are very active and eating like crazy. i think we timed the event perfectly and we should see some nice CPR fish on Saturday.

If you want to attend this event we will have day of registration from 5am - 6am. Come on out and get some bendo!

Saturday temps are dropping to the low 50's, big low is moving in.  Expect the fishing to change a bit.

Mike,
     It does not say in your rules that it needs to be a Hawg Trough. If you would have stated that before in the rules I would back you up on this, but I believe at this point any board should be legal. I'm sticking up for the new guy here and anyone else that shows up with something other than an official Hawg Trough. The expandable boards etc should all be legal at this point 2 days before the tourney due to your lack of info in the rules about "official" boards.

Just my .02.

Absolutely. It's not illegal nor is there a rule established. There will never be a rule like that. But we both know this board is not going to work as in "effective" measuring device, not because it's not an official hog trough, because it's yellow on white and in the sun could compromise the photos. That's easy to see. It would suck to have to DQ fish that cannot be verified because we cannot read the length. This is why I offered to bring an extra.

Yea, that was a concern of mine as well - what if I trace over the lines with sharpie and present for inspection at check-in?

Mike does have an extra trough he is bringing for me to borrow, but I'm not sure if there are any other competitors that were also unsure.

For sure, make sure to marker the numbers too.

We've had others with different boards in the past, including the pullout like Rob mentioned. But honestly that yellow on white might be disastrous or keep the fish out of the water for a long period trying to get the right light.

 Hopefully others read this and do a test shot in the sun and zoom in to make sure it works. Even the white boards with black marker lines sometimes don't show very well in direct sun/ camera angle.

Let me know if you want me to bring my extra.

Mike,

Please do bring the extra - I'll follow best practices and return that gold/white one and order something proper online when time allows!
