Default Night Tournament (7/24/04)

besides catching my biggest fish of the year Sunday morning, nope. I had one
bite Sunday and that was the fish. I couldn't even get a tail tugger after
that but I knew after that fish not to expect anything for the rest of the
morning.

Not so fast buckaroo! Yours truly came in smelling like a skunk in
yesterday's NJ Federation tourney on the Delaware River lol. This is
supposed to be my "home water"! Of course, I didn't feel so bad after
seeing only 1 limit brought to the scales out of 120 or so guys. Still
kinda humbling though...

course)

at least you two got to fish a bit together. I think I'm gonna go put

some
vinyl on the car glass. :-)

Joe and I fished a night tournament last night with our club;

something
that
has just been returned to our schedule after many complaints of

people
not
wanting to fish at night. But anyway, only about half of the club

showed
up.

We fished several areas that had been productive for us in the past,

but
nothing that was caught there would make the mark. Last Tuesday

night,
I
fished a bank that I've pretty much ignored this year and found fish

with
my
Midnight Snack II spinnerbait. I told Joe that it would probably be

worth
the drive if he was up to it in the dark. He's a pretty good sport,

and
being that we both know the lake and can probably drive it blind

folded,
we
headed off.

My second cast, I hit a small little runt that was quick released at

the
boat. My bait was getting slammed but we weren't hooking anything...

I
couldn't understand that. It could have been that the fish were

striking
the
blades, and I almost decided to attach a treble hook to the back of

my
blade
attachment. Finally though, I did manage to hook up with a 2.06lb'er

that
went to the livewell. All the others that we caught were still shy

of
the
15
inch mark. With about an hour left on the clock, we headed back

toward
our
launch and fished one of our favorite banks... still catching

nothing
to
help us out. As time ticked away... we headed back with our one

little
fish.

Seems that we weren't the only ones to have a bad night. First place

was
a
little over 8lbs, second place was about 5, third place was 2.13lbs.

One
more fish for Joe and I would have taken third easy.

Sorry, but there was no pictures... LOL
