Let them hold a Classic on the Delaware and many pro's will reconsider
full
time fishing

You're right about the Delaware - I tell people not to even bother
prefishing, it's a waste of time. Alot of people expected me to finish
highly in yesterday's tournament, including myself. When I got in I
pulled
up next to one of the Federation's best guys. He had 2 small keepers.
He
asked me if I wrecked em & I laughed. Basically he said you had to get
lucky out there, it had nothing to do with skill. My rider (he got 1
keeper) said he could see me catching a whole boatload of fish "the way
I
fished" lol.

Sometimes it's just tough as nails & there's no explanation. It's all
good
though...

Hopefully I'll do better up at the Hudson in the BASS Open next month.
I
sure couldn't do worse...

The delaware doesn't count that's not a normal body of water.. I've
caught
two smallmouths on the delaware in two years, One, my biggest at just
under
4 pounds the other a 5 inch smallie that took Dave's hair last year.

What I was trying to relay is that many of us head out with
expectations
of
winning a tourny or catching some good fish and very few of us
actually
come
in saying "I knew it was gonna be like this". I have never been in a
tourny
that I didn't think I was gonna win, call it confidence or
stupidity...
but
I haven't won one yet.(dress bets and hair bets excluded) Granted I
haven't
entered into a whole bunch, but I still think I can win every one or
outfish
just about anyone on neutral grounds and would be willing to take
anyone
on
no matter where it is just for the competition. Ok never mind I'm a
junkie..
I figured it out Thanks :-)

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...

Man it never works out like you think it will( Warren excluded of
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
