17317, Good luck to the West
Posted by swimbait, Wed Nov-19-08 05:23 PM
Good luck to all of the west coast anglers fishing the FLW East vs. West fishoff at Falcon lake starting tomorrow 11/20. Couple calfishing posters are at the tourney, Cameron Smith and Chris Zaldain. Cam says the lake is 25' higher than when BASS fished it this spring, with tons of flooded wood, brush and cactus. Water is off color and folks are reporting that fishing is not producing easy 30lb limits by a long shot. Should be a fun tourney to follow. FLW Live starts tomorrow at 1pm Pacific Time.

zaldain has a solid lead, cam has a batle going on. Its amazing how some of the west guys I thought would hold there own, did bad.

Cam said he had big bessie hooked up today but she got in the cover and came free. He's in it though.

I feel bad for Rob Rhiel catching 25lbs and Terry Bolton who he is fishing against had 36. This will be a tourney where weights change a lot each day though.

I had a buddy who has a place on Falcon call me to come down and fish this weekend. It's about 7 hours from Austin. I figured I'd avoid the FLW and go in December or January. The water is as high as it's ever been. Can't wait to sling some of the big baits down there.

looks like Zaldain made it. Congrats dood. Cam missed by 2lbs, but had more weight then Zaldain. I still am not sure if I like this format or not.
