I'd wait until the following weekend if possible! Those tides next week won't give you any window at all - the way I see it? As far as the Derby they had some really large fish this year. Winner was 156 pounds. What a truck load. Then they went 132,116,104 100 and 99 pounds. There were 751 entrants in this years derby and it was herlded as a great success! We managed to place 7th and 26th so gas money was ours!!! That's my $.02.
