Hey Guns'n Roses and Bommy where will you be fishing for the comp? I am fishing the comp to but haven't decided where to go yet as i have never fished the roper before. There will hopefully be a couple of boats coming with me as well. Does anyone have any hot tips for the roper?

im a virgin on the river too :s we were going to head out to the bar for the fri and sat, then try the fresh on the sun, thought doing a comp might be a good way to learn a new river!!!!
