I've been posting reports on OutdoorFrontiers.com for Kentucky Lake for
the
past several weeks, and AlwaysFishKing has posted on his experiences down
here and LilMule has chimed in as well. I had an ulterior motive for
fishing
down in the Camden area so much recently.

You see, LilMule (an OF member and friend) asked me to fish an open team
tournament being held out of Birdsong Creek with him. After seeing all the
lily pads and our results based on the recent trips, we thought we'd at
least not embarrass ourselves. But, I hadn't fished down there since
AlwaysFishKing was here, as I didn't want to burn out the spot through
overfishing.


SNIP A pretty good read.

From my seat, I could hear the scoreperson tallying the weights. The
winning
team had 17.01 pounds. I started feeling a bit better. After the dead fish
penalty, "Team Transplant" had 16.45 pounds! We had finished in FIFTH
PLACE!
Not too shabby for a couple recent transplants to Tennessee who'd never
fished a tournament together, and until recently had not fished the
Birdsong
Creek area!

Then on the way home, it dawned on me. If those two fish wouldn't have
died,
we would have won it!!!


Sounds like you guys had a good time.


Yes we did. LilMule (real name Roger) reminds Janet of a smaller version of
Moe, so she occasionally calls him "Mini-Moe." He's a good guy and really
was a great help when I was trying to find a place here in Tennessee. And,
he's been a great source of fresh garden vegetables all summer long. It's a
good partnership, he teaches me things about down here, I teach him some of
my tips that I've learned over the years.
