Time to get this baby back in action. Been a crazy couple weeks and the blog has suffered, but it’s getting to be crunchtime. My brother promised to get back onto this once school finished, but I’m not sure he remembers what the website address even is anymore. As long as he’s focused on winning the tourney – and non tan t-shirts for this year – then we’re good.
Me, I’m taking off this Thurs through until the Headhunt so will be focused 100% on this baby, so be ready. I plan to get some serious pre-fishing in to add to my total of 1 fish caught season to date. Should be primed by next Sat.
I love the chatter, but we still need more boats. Right now, it sounds like we’ve got a lot of the veterans (Dangler, Burnbags, Corduroy, Petey, Goodie, and Plymouth crew) in, but still need more boats so spread the word.
Would also be good to see some more side action. Petey’s note on Vegas odds was spot on. Right now, I think the charter boys still have the advantage so I’ll peg Goodie and his team on Ocean Effect Charters. Capts Ernie and Jeff have the speed of their sweet rig, an us against them attitude, and a new crew of meat biscuits from Boston who have just the right combo of cash, energy, cluelessness, and money. Vegas money has them taking the lead.
Team Powe – if that’s what they’re still called – on Jailbreak - only has a real chance if they break out their Leon Powe jerseys again, but too many chemistry issues on that boat already. Word is one member may bail for his high school reunion so shows the commitment on that boat.
Burnies, is Sportbag even on a boat yet? If so, he still has no chance. His brother could repeat, and is definitely a top contender again. Home waters for him are close, he has been putting in the time, and I love his new brand Hakafish – so hopefully he brings a few shirts (XXL for my fatass) to trade for this years shirt, or for 1 of the 413 leftover tan ones we have from last year.
As for Corduroy and Dangler, I love the fire, the preparation, the strategy, and everything. On paper, they should be a factor, every year. There is just something missing then always holds them back – and I just don’t see it coming together this year either. Vegas has them just above the Browns winning the Superbowl, but not much.
O’Brien and the crew are also always factors on any boat captained by Tom Szado - the most decorated captain/crew in Headhunt history.
A dark horse entry could still take this baby, and more entrants are needed. We also recently got more support from our friends at On the Water – I actually ran some data for them from my last company and showed they are crushing The Fisherman for people checking out content on their site – def the place to go for local info. Read the latest issue cover to cover and first time in awhile I actually took a few notes from an article (Tuna section) to put into practice. Keep in mind, I suck at fishing so bar was low, but if you tuna fish on the Cape there were some good nuggets in there.
Overall, blog is back in action and let the trash talking continue. Pre-fishing next week and I’ll be on the Cape if anyone wants to get together. Lastly, if anyone wants to donate to prize packages, let us know – we’re trying to put together another kick ass prize list for the top 3 boats – and maybe a few others, so let us know.
