    Re: March Madness

    In an attempt to help Russ out I probably hurt more than helped. Please note the following changes to what is on the tourny flyer I posted yesterday. These are the actual locations, times, etc. What I posted was from last year and there have been some changes.

    This tourny will be out of the Laurel ramp instead of the State ramp.

    The registration time begins at 6:30 and ends at 7:45, Louisville time. Starting position will be determined by sign up position so it is first in, first out.

    There will be a 50/50 pot and door prizes.

    Russ - If you see this you might want to attach a copy of the new flyer. Sorry about the confusion I may have caused.

    I would fish it, but with the water up so much, I am rethinking things.
    Fished last year and had a ball in the snowstorm. The water temps are probably going to be about the same as last year. Some fish were caught then. I heard one was caught last weekend on Rough.
