For those of you keeping track....That's 4 Grady White boats that are signed up for all 3 events!

[CATCH AND EAT]

Bud, the joke of the day is Team Wahoo and TEam Aces Of 8's at 3 to 1. Man my sides are hurting Did Tred set those odds?

[Mark Mc]

Did they leave out a 'zero' ?

[Seelicious]

Don't talk the talk until you're signed up...let's go A-Team.! www.oregontunaclassic.com

[Seelicious]

C&E...it sounds like Vegas...nice on the come out roll.

[WaterDog]

Bernie I was thinking the same thing.

[Nordic Sun]

ODIN at 9:1........... You are being way to kind!!!

Maybe 90 :1

We have no experience, no talent, but there won't be a more gratefull and happier group of guys fishing that day. The bright light you will see is not the sun reflecting off the aluminum boat.......It's our smiles :grin:

Bob - that's what makes you a shoe in to win!

[OuterLimits]

What's with those Shady Gradys any way?? They either have an advantage or disadvance pending how you look at it?

[tracker]

The "Stripers" are coming right along with you. Three by my count, and more coming! Wheres Wak?

[Seelicious]

And there is talk from the would-be title sponsor (Striper) that if a team wins in a Striper boat they might just double the prize money...once these details are confirmed we'll pass them along.

[Nordic Sun]

Where can I get a "STRIPER" decal for my Hewscraft?

[CATCH AND EAT]

Bob, break out the trophy and put striper decals on it. They might be fooled. Hey you might want to buy a tender to pull the overflow tuna to the dock.

[Bait O' Eggs]

I just told the wife if I had a stripper on board and won the tournament, the prize money was doubled.

She still said NO!!!!

:depressed:


I am looking for a calculator to see if 7:5 is good or bad for me :whazzup: :whazzup: :whazzup:

[kamloops]

Yeh, what in the world 1s 7-5???

I'm bout the only one I know that goes to Vegas and drops
$100 on Piagow Poker in 5 minutes and still doesn't have a clue on how the games played.

I do know that if the ocean agrees and we can fish live bait and we have 6 fisherman and lot's of room for fish
and lots of room for fisherman- --If we can only pull jigs, all bets are off.

[tracker]

Hey what happen to my odds? Why did I take a nose dive? These odds are very odd!

[Triple C]

Hey Tracker I think if we get to fish live bait our odds should go down. I've got 2 30gal live wells on my boat.
and if we don't I'll just fill them with tuna
when the fish boxes and coolers are full.

[tracker]

The cabin works really well also as an auxillary fish box. Although I think I would suggest taking the chusions out before the trip and an application of a fabric protector on the ceiling carpet. Seems blood really flies around when you are tossing bags of ice and large mostly dead tuna down there. Also best not to mention this to the wife. She does not fancy sharing the same space as dead tuna! Go figure!

[5 Salt]

Just finalizing crewing before the 100:1 entry for 5-Salt Fever. (AKA: Team "Those boys would die of starvation if they had tuna tied to their back-side")

I like to think of myself as the "blind-horse" entry on your race program. Even a blind-horse will find a little grass if you kick him long enough.

[Triple C]

Keep that up and you'll have to tear that headliner out and burn it :grin:

[Bait O' Eggs]

5 salt, I know part of your crew, and all I have to say is, my only bad days fishing was with him on board could have been several things making those days bad, but after reviewing all the data all winter I have concluded it was him I think you may be closer to 200:1 unless you do a crew swap

[WaterDog]

Roy, I don't think Bud has factored in the propensity of Aces & Eights to drive over fish.

I hope there will be some "awards" to be handed out. Any guesses as to who will get longest distance traveled with fewest fish? :tongue:

[CATCH AND EAT]

[Bait O' Eggs]

I am gonna win something

Maybe we need a dedicated smack talking thread

[5 Salt]

In defence of and a show of un-dying support for my crew member...his "reported" effect on those experienced operations will no doubt have a reverse effect on that of the lessor experience operator there by lowering our odds back down to the 100:1 range.

And yes we definately could use a smack-talk post to it own.

This is getting fun.

[LQQKASTAR]

Maybe we need a dedicated smack talking thread

It looks like we got one!

And by the way Bud, the rumors of me leaving team "Just Keep Fishing" aren't true. so you can reset his odds now.

........ sory Dave for the 400:1 odds :grin:

[tracker]

What my first mate is leaving me? Hey I have not heard this rumor! Is that dasterdly Uboatcmdr stealing you back again? Hey wait I have not seen him sign up yet! Where is his team? Hey uboatcmdr, where are you? Get out of the closet and register.

[KeyWest]

I'm going to push for a fish per fisherman metric at the next meeting. Not the absolute number of fish. We need to level the playing field.

[Seelicious]

5-Salt...good to see the Grady family growing...you're closer to 75:1...based on nothing more than your effort on the Umpqua!

Good luck brother!

[tracker]

Dean you are just gouing to have to get a bigger boat so you can hold more fish. Maybe you can rig a trailer behind you so as to carry more fish. It could also act as one of BOE's debris fields till you needed it to haul your fish.

[CATCH AND EAT]

Okay these odds thingys just ain't right. Odin at 25:1 and Team Wahoo! at 50:1? Now my sides are really hurting. He must be going to drag a net or something because the guy can barely find salmon let alone tuna.

Of course his last name is Staklie which is Scandinavian for stacking but I think it relates to firewood not tuna.

[Triple C]

Hey Bud are they going to have live bait available at
all or any of these events. One way or the other we'll
bring tuna home. May help to increase the numbers with
live bait.

[Seelicious]

Astoria will have live bait.

You will have to poach some from Tracker in Newport and Garibaldi...there is no set plan for either of these.

[CATCH AND EAT]

ILWACO has the live bait you need and desire.

[Triple C]

The question is, how do you get down to Newport the day
before and keep it alive for the next days fishing. It would
take one heck of a tank in the back of the truck and it
would have to be aerated. Me thinks me has some planning to do.

[tracker]

Plan set! Investigation completed! Tune in Tournament day for details! We are going to try something! If it works? Well! You have seen and watched the results!

[Seelicious]

You're going to need all the help you can get!

Myrtle Bee with her experienced crew has just joined the fun and you know that team Beer Waggin will be bring it!

5 spots left before the drawing...who's getting in?

[Bait O' Eggs]

Beer waggon will be DQ'ed for breaking a rule

Myrtle B is a professional tournament fisherman, with a "posse" that follows him around, I think the odds just went up on the rest of us.

[bait boy]

No rule breaking here Roy,,, What do you mean theres a 25 fish limt? I am the Captain for all 3 events on the Beer Waggin. Glad we fixed that before an issue arose :grin: :grin:

Bring it don't sing it!!!

[Bait O' Eggs]

Guess I shoulda kept my fishtrap shut, I had a slim chance to get one contender DQ'ed

It isnt like me to point out minor rule infractions, ..... unless I am in forth place :grin: :grin: :grin:

[Seelicious]

No issues at all! Glad to have team Beer Waggin!

Where are the rest of the EDwing boys?

[Triple C]

I know Kenai is fishing with me for the Astoria tourney.
and hopefully for one of the other 2. He wants to run his boat in one.

[WaterDog]

5-salts at 75:1, looks like we got our work cut out for us. Hope these Grady’s can fish.

[Bait O' Eggs]

75:1

Thats a charity number to start with

[skein]

This EdWinger is rounding up a crew, but I can't do all three events. When you guys sail outta Gary's Baldy, me and DipSea Diver will be winging our way to Ireland. I'll lift a Guiness to your success!

Skein

[Triple C]

Hey Skein toss down a Middletons for me when you get there.

[tracker]

I am worried that there wont be anybody left out there in the "boat ho" pool if somebody has to cancell!

[OuterLimits]

I think Tracker will be trying his new covert toy. The secret WMD oxygenator!!!!

[tracker]

Shhhhhh! It's a secrete! Don't want anybody to know! :grin:

[Seelicious]

3 spots left before we have the drawing...

[Seelicious]

1 spot left...if you think you're going to do it...why not get the shot at a free entry?

[Taylor's viewpoint]

Not any more. "Time Out" is registered.
TV

[Seelicious]

Confirmed...we have the numbers...we can now have the drawing!

[Seelicious]

And if Striper makes good on bonusing the winner if they're in a Striper boat...could make things real interesting!

[tracker]

Is it what you said that STRIPER is going to match winning funds?

[Seelicious]

It is being discussed...they brought it up...we'll see.

We have a little NFL action brewing for Newport...a player to be named later...if it comes together.

[tracker]

Is the Tred thing still a maybe?

[Bait O' Eggs]

We have a little NFL action brewing for Newport...a player to be named later...if it comes together.

L.C. ?????

[Seelicious]

Tred is dead...at least for now.

Roy it is a Seahawk but not confirmed yet...he's a Striper guy as well...just what we need!
