I’m set up not too far from take off and it’s already been an interesting morning.
I can see five boats. Michael Iaconelli, Takahiro Omori, Clifford Pirch, Brandon Palaniuk and Kevin VanDam.
The action hasn’t been fast and furious but it has been full of action.
Ike started off with a 5-plus, Pirch has two keepers and VanDam, the farthest of this group has three.
Conroe is living up to its billing. These five boats have about 25 or 30 spectators and they’ve enjoyed the show. And there’s more coming.
With the cloud cover this could stay like this all day. Even if it doesn’t, it appears as if Day 1 will be exciting.
