Those are some pretty impressive numbers! I think the first NWC I was
attended, my second place total was only 3.0lbs! The Northwoods Classic has some a LONG way Steve! Congratulations everyone! I really hated to miss out... and really wanted to fish with Brandon in his new Nitro. Things right now are just not too good for me, but after the 18th... I'll begin seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully still have a little hair left. LOL It may be grey, but as long as it's still there... Getting ready to start boat shopping too! I may wait until January to get serious about it though. All the good boat shows start then... "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ...

I fished the same pattern two days, using the same bait on two different
rods, just had different weights on each. Both days , a very slow and deliberate approach produced all my fish. I can tell you I caught every single legal I had on the same bait. I unfortunately didn't have an encounter with a big bass, but the stories I heard were definitely impressive, especially Dave's.

I also want to thank Steve and Janet for another wonderful tournament.
They work very hard at this and it always is enjoyable. I did find out this year why Steve would make a poor accountant. Just kidding Steve. I had the pleasure on the first day of fishing with Scott. It was fun watching his excitement as he caught bass and his "I'm not a losser" dance after he boated his second keeper. Thank you Scott for distracting Chris the second day although all I asked him to do was mess up Chris's tackle. That brokeback bass fishing stuff must have been his idea. I couldn't want to win bad enough to do that to anyone. I can just picture Chris's face as Scott kept telling him "Gary put me on bass, why can't you". The second day I got to fish with Steve's son Jim. He kept everything in prespective as I saw my lead slipping away with every fish that got off or broke me off. He kept telling me "I'm having fun!". It was exciting as we were on fish but just couldn't get them in the boat. We still ended up with two each although we both could have limited out if our luck had been a little better. I will never forget watching Joe make custom prototype spinnerbaits for people out of the back of a minivan. Joe, I'll let you know how it works in a couple of weeks. I had a great time and was happy to see Steve win this year. Hope to see everyone next year. |

They're all good Steve, thanks to you & Janet's incredible hospitality. I'd
go out n get skunked 2 more times (or was it 3?) just for the times I've had out there again. Now that I'm doing these FLW tournaments my finances aren't as loose as they used to be, and I no longer get air miles (switched to the GMAC credit card). My last wooping on the Potomac cost me about $2500. They're fun when you make the cut, and fun when you don't, but they hurt when you don't. It's very comforting to know that Boom "turns on", at one point I wondered if there was a quality population of bass in there. I think next time I get up there I'll fish super-shallow, less than 2', and see how that goes. I'm so glad you all had fun, that's the name of the game.

WARREN WOLK wrote: Any comments on your patterns Gary? You seem to own that lake! Nice job again... Thanks Warren but I'm hardly an expert on Boom. The great thing about this year was that I caught a limit the first day and only had a 2 oz lead over Ronnie. In the past everyone had a chance of winning the second day because no one was catching fish. This year it was just the opposite. Enough fish came in that lots of people were grouped up pretty tight. Steve came back and won after being in 4th place the first day. We still weren't catching them like the local experts. Jason fished with us the second day who is a local pro and said in the open that was held out there that all the lead teams came in with limits and had around a 3 pound average per fish. He said you would need 18 -19 pounds with a 6 fish limit per day to have a chance at winning the tourney. I know the fish are out there and it seems that every year we are doing a little better at finding them. And you are right that even if you don't catch alot, Steve makes it worth your effort to come anyway. Good Luck at your tournaments! |

Thanks Gary, though I think you are being a bit modest (great tournament
etiquette, btw). Do, you think the increase in success rate is due to increased angler knowledge of the lake, or to the lake simply being "on"? It seems to me that the deeper waters of Boom Lake might be ripe for the pickins if, say, a local or two were to invest the time of planting some cover in various spots, here & there. Just a thought, I know it's the secret of many locals in my area. Call me lazy, but I've never sunk a brushpile in my life. Did sink an old toilet seat once, but I forgot exactly where...

Now that it's been 3 years I definitely think I know the lake better. I spend less time running all over the place and more time concentrating on specific locations. As far as what the locals are doing out there, Steve would be in a better position to answer that. He is the only local that I know who fishes out there. They must be doing something different as they bring in a lot more fish out there than I do. Gary |

Gary,
From talking to Jason, he pretty much was doing what we were doing. It was wood at one point for him, and then weeds. I know from other conversations that the cribs do hold big smallies at times, and from pre-fishing a couple years ago I did manage a couple really nice ones from 10+ feet on crankbaits. Problem is I couldn't pin down a concentration, but if I could have brought in 5 of the couple I caught I would have had about 15lbs. So the locals just knowing when those fish turn on, or move into certain areas , or where you can pick off one or two of those big ones in a few different spots really makes the difference. Steve was really the only one who spent any time around the deeper water it seemed (sorry if I missed anyone else, maybe Joe H, and Chris S. as well) and he brought in some pretty nice fish. If he would have brought in a limit of what he had going both days he would have stomped us. 14lbs for the number of fish he had was pretty impressive. I had mentioned this to a couple people, but my plan for next year is to disappear into some areas that are just not easy to get to. I mentioned to Gary before we launched on the first day that I could kick myself for forgetting my push pole, but I think that getting out of the easily accessible areas (even though those areas could have easily produced big limits based on the amount of fish we had lost on day 2) and really getting back into maybe some of those sloughs and creeks could produce some really big limits, or I could completely bomb and waste 8 hours pushing myself around the weeds :-). I really like that lake (flowage), and I am already looking forward to next year. Matter of fact I may be up there this Saturday morning just to check out some stuff I didn't get to look at during pre-fishing and picking up a Stainless prop :-).

I guess it's true what they say. "never bet against a man on his home lake"
Sure there are days when any decent angler can put fish in the boat if the bite is on. However there is a distinct advantage to having fished a lake over and over again. For me, I tend to remember where I caught fish on similiar days, weather, wind, water color etc etc. when Harry was up here with Jerry and we had our mini tourney, the bite was no where near "on fire", but remembering where and how I caught fish in similiar conditions had me and Jerry with about 20 fish to the boat that day and lots of those fish were taken in water already fished by the other teams. We wound up beating the second place team by 5 or 6 pounds as we were culling by 8:30 am |
