The weather looks presentable for tomorrow. The forecast calls for scattered T Storms and a high of near 70 after a morning start as the field leaves the Alfrey Boat Ramp at 7 AM under temps of about 44 degrees and winds out of the SSE at 11 MPH.
Watch for the first video interviews and images about the time you grab your morning coffee.

74 Teams left the Alfrey Boat ramp this morning in a thundershower with temps in the 40's. The bite should by all reports be good today, as showers roll through the area and the skies remain cloudy.
The prefish was active, with reports of fish shallow, deep, and in between. The entire arsenal of techniques is in use and working; fish were caught trolling and casting spinnerbaits, rattlebaits, and soft baits.
The 'weigh in' is at 6 PM tonight. Expect a report right after dinner!

Update:
'Crazy, still going strong with several teams doubling up. Two teams tripled so far: the Burseths, who are current PMTT World Champions, and Kevin Nash have tripled already.'

This event could set several PMTT records.

The meeting is over, and 5 fish hold the lead for Team Burseth. The PMTT probably set a one day record and definitely will set a new two day record with 45 fish today. If one looks over the top ten, more than half that total were caught by the Top Ten. Impressive....
Tomorrow looks to be about as good weather wise as today, with near perfect conditions at take off time. Most of the field who contacted fish today are confident the same programs will produce tomorrow, so it's possible the event will tally near TWICE the number that was the record for a single PMTT event...we'll see.
The majority of the fish were taken casting from what came out onstage tonight..which wasn't too specific. We'll learn more tomorrow as to what each team was using to make the money.
