PWT prefishing/press release/photos vs. FLW

[Blademan]

Maybe I'm just not that computer savy, but I went to the PWT site hoping to find a press release, and some photos of the blast off this morning, maybe a weather report...etc. Nothing. Anyone know if they will have something posted before the weigh-in? I have to say, I really like the way the FLW does their website. I like that they have morning photos on there, and a short report of what is expected through out the day. PWT...get with-it.

I agree. I'll be fishing in the PWT in a few weeks, so I'm interested in what's going on there right now, but there isn't much to see! Plus I'm trying to check on my brother and a friend who are both fishing in Winiconne. I know who they got as partners all 3 days, but not much else. (I only know that because they called and told me, it's not on the website.)

Exactly, I'm checking on a buddy of mine...talked to him monday. He said it's a really tough go, and it wont take as much weight as it has in the past. He said he's got a few spots that he's picking up a fish here and there....but over all a very tough bite. So, the guy who can put some 14" fish with a kicker or two in the box everyday will be tough. Just wish they had a morning press release and a few photos and a pre-fishing report.

Yes, been there. I was just hoping for some up-to-date info on how the pre-fishing went, maybe a few blast off photos, weather report..etc. The FLW has been doing a great job of giving morning reports and I was just hoping to see something simular on this PWT event. All they give is a generic press release based on the past.

Stay tuned there will be photos AND video coming soon!

Blademan,
There are photos from this morning on this site's Live Leaderboard page...

Looks a little chilly with overcast skies, and what looks to be like a 10-18mph wind (just guessing of course...;))

Juls' link to the photo's is great. It has LOTS of pics. But none of anybody catching a fish!! Uh-oh. I hope someones catching something. I wonder why the Mercury real-time leaderboard doesn't have a link to the pictures? Must be someone besides Merc doing it. My bro is fishing with #13 Rick Franklin today. I wish I knew if they were gettin' any.

[Juls_OH]

I'm guessing they are...Rick is an excellent stick, and good on every body of water he goes to. ;)
