Danny,
I did not see your post---sorry. I fished this event this year by myself and more then likely will do so next year. I discussed fishing it with my regular River partner, the one I fish Plapps with, but we both decided do go at this tournament in a different approcach, style etc. etc.
He was going for the win---I was hoping to win some hourly prizes and with a chance to get the big one! Then I had another friend entertain the idea of doing it as a team of 3 but fish out of different boats in different areas of the river. But, again all 3 of us had different ideas and it just wasn't going to work.
So, with this much on the line, we all figured to just go for it ourselves and it worked out just fine. Didn't win, but I had fun.
So, Danny, I can take you on some pre-fishing trips or I can help you with some info, but if I do decide to fish with anybody, it would be my regular river fishing partner.
Hope that makes sense. I do appreciate the offer to even ask me for help. That by itself is a compliment and I appreciate it.
