Wondering how many bags everyone is tying for opener. I take the week off friday to friday so I tie a bunch. Still have another 200+ to go but I got a good start last night 160 white and 100 Chartreuse of the Fishheads Canada Salmon Roe 

Any One Else Got Bag Tying Shots? 
How Many Bags Do You Tie?

I'll only be out for Saturday and half of Sunday, so hopefully my 70 I have left will do.

Mind you I'm typing 70 and laughing because if they get me one hook up then that'll make my day. :)

WTF? 

You guys are forgetting the most important thing

Beer.

 

I put 2 case of beer in the fridge last night. Made sure the bar fridge had coke and coconut water for mix/chase.

 

180 sacs, but I dont tie em myself- just cant find the time.

Those bags look amazing! I think I'm going to try and prepare some next weekend, I've been eye balling the equipment in the tackle shops the last few weeks, but need to read up a bit more about what to use.  Great video as well, looks like a great time.

I don't get it.. how is this even possible? I'm assuming it's the shininess of the tab that's attracting them, and it probably flutters around.  Obviously it works, but can't wrap my mind around it.
