I think you might get more rigs in June, July or August rather than later in September. Mid summer months, late June/July/August, are 40+ fish days and late September more like in the teens if you are doing good. Even late May is better, IMO? I made the first two but couldnt make this as had other commitments (not fishing) for that late in year. This is 3rd year and has been later each year, number of boats has gone down each time. There has to be a reason for that – maybe I am totally off base with the timing opinion? Great tournament again for the Rosettis and not sure with them any time of the year makes much difference – they always seem to do pretty good, more power to them.
