Well, we fished our top-8 last weekend at Brookville. I ended up 26th out of
118 with one fish for 2-3. I lost a fish that would have moved me on a s a
boater. Oh well. It was tough fishing for all. About 3-11 was all that was
needed to make the cut and 4-8 would get you in as a boater.

Lots of spawning fish and lots of fish not quite locked on beds. Could not
manage to get any bed fish to hit and I did not want to sit and use up a bunch
of time on them. I did catch tons of fish, but only managed that one keeper.
The bite was light on jigs, tubes and C-rigs with the jig getting the most
action. I never felt a fish hit, just saw the line move or felt a slight mush.
I missed several on a jig that were only taking the trailer. I shortened the
trailer and finally managed to start hooking more jig fish. I know I had enough
bites to maybe even win, but I adjusted my jig fishing too late.

Sunday I'll be heading south to Monroe for our next club event. Should be a
pretty good tourney with fish in all stages of the spawn.
