New to this but I figured that I would give it a shot.  Thanks!

20 days to the first event and we are at 29 participants so far. Lets try to get to 50 people for the first event. If you're on the fence, join in. You've got nothing to lose. 

Not as many people visit this sub-forum as they do the general so not as  will participate .

We got relegated to this sub-forum...

Would anyone might know when the practice days are for the St. Johns? They usually are on the tournaments rules page on the website. Just wondering if they haven't posted it yet in case Covid might change up how they do things. 

February 7th -9th

I am so ready to get in the top five this year. y 

10 days out from the first event. Get those picks in!

 

And if you haven't signed up yet, what's holding you back?!

8 Days!

Glad you joined us. 

 

We're up to 46 people so far. Lets get to 50 for this first event. 

Since we're getting so close, I've finally posted my picks. I have my tiebreaking weight set at 70lbs 6 oz. I think that may still be too high. I don't know if any of you have checked the forecast for Palatka but they're calling for thunderstorms on both Friday and Saturday so I wouldn't be surprised if a day gets called off. Lots can change though and hopefully I'm wrong. 

The weather was looking great 2 days ago for St. Johns. Now it looks like they might not get a full 4 days. Possibility of a fog delay for day one, and a chance of thunderstorms all 4 days. Is anyone making adjustments on their total weight? I was originally going with the mid 80s total. Now I'm contemplating how much I should drop it down with this forecast.

I've got it at 66 (I said 70 in my previous post) but I'll probably lower it. It already was a toss-up but now with the weather being funky and the possibility of the a whole day or two being cancelled, it's really anyone's game. If I'm not mistaken, last year's St John's event was only 3 days and they fished in bad conditions, windy and cold most days. The winning  weight was 47 lbs... 

FYI - your estimated weight does nothing for our group. It's only used as a tiebreaker if you were to qualify for prizes nationally and someone else had the same score as you. 

We're up to 56 people. This is shaping up to be a great season already!

Rumors amongst the anglers is there have been some giants in practice. If the weather it keeps together with warm weather until Sunday and a new moon. We could see a slug fest. If the weather holds......

 

I keep changing my mind between about 5 different guys in Bucket B.  Landed on Morgenthaler as of now, but may switch again before I crash tonight.

Well my boys stunk it up today!  Who would have ever imagined Clunn zeroing on day one!

I know - it's like "Wait...What? Clunn skunked? Who'd have thunk it"

 

Only two of mine even made top 50 today...come on guys, work harder.

Could have been worse for me.. 

 

I've got 3 guys in the top 35 but my remaining two are 85th and 96th. Yikes

In these Florida events anybody can stick an 8+ at any time and rocket up the leaderboard. I try not to get too excited or depressed about day 1 outcomes, but now we get to see what the weather does. 

 

After day 1, my guys are at 5th, 8th, 19th, 43rd, 63rd
