Thanks for the comments Chris. I have appreciable experience fishing the pass for big reds. I guess it's a matter of logistics at this point as my yak is at my lake place in Catahoula Parish and I am in Zachary. I'll be better prepared next year. Would still like to come down and check out the yaks. Good luck, Glynn
If you're heading down there to observe-why not fish the tournament? We have taken several noobies into the pass and they all scored big reds.
You really should consider fishing the tournament while you're there. You can learn a lot more by actually fishing than just observing.
