"That's great Jeff, glad to hear you don't have any conflicts! Everyone was concerned."

i know...hence the informative post.

you all can breath easy now.

the trick will be keeping my 4yr record of not even weighing a fish in.
big fish is a tough tournament to shoot. but maybe i'll get lucky.

Re: The 6th Annual "key West Open"!!!

My advise is to do what Sheri says!! make a dive plan, shoot the biggest fish in every catagory you can, this is a point tounament. Start one day targeting reef species and the next blue water , or a combi of both depending on conditions, the trick is to place in as many catagories as possible , thats how you win! Good Luck everyone cant wait to see you all again!

Re: The 6th Annual "key West Open"!!!

that is the way to do it.

i just never seem to find those scoring fish on the day of the tournament


i think it was last year that i went out 2 weekends before the tourny, and shot a hog and snapper that would have placed very high, if not 1st place.

but when i do it for the tournament....nothing but 20lb grouper....

and when there are 10+ grouper all over 40lbs....a couple 20lbers doesn't do much.

but it IS fun....and the weighin is half the enjoyment....as is watching norman juggle 2 Rum & Cokes, a microphone and prizes...

Re: The 6th Annual "key West Open"!!!

is that new norman?

didn't some guys dive the grounds a few years ago? fly down for the capt meeting and then back up...then dive the grounds...and drive down for the weigh-in?
