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
