Joey + Gordon,
Thanks for your guys' reports. I was stunned that the tourney was won on crankbaits! I have only been to Rancho twice but I never got any indication that it would be a crankbait lake. I was also very suprised that no big dogs fell for the plugs/swimbaits. They must have pigged out on the planted trout already before the storm hit.

As for the weather ... that's just a given with B-n-T that we will get the nastiest weather possible :-) Naci, Berryessa, yuk-o.
