Had a good day but got my heart broke. It was foggy bad - we made it to
the cove I wanted to start in - where Fritz and I got four Wednesday
morning - not a bite. Since it was so foggy I just worked around that
big point and into the next cove - got a keeper spot in the back of it
as 9. That fish guarenteed me first for the year in the Sportsman Club.
Fog lifted soon after 9 so I ran up to the second place I wanted to
fish. There is a rocky point at the mouth of a small creek, Fritz you
got a keeper spot right on the bank to the right of it. For some reason
I decided to go into the cove to the left - at the second point in the
cove I caught a 4 pound largemouth and a 3 pounder on consecutive casts.
Both were on a brush pile in front of a dock. Went around that point and
got three largemouth on a rockpile off the bank. All those fish hit the
outfit Fritz had been using - a Fat Free Shad - I just started throwing
it, didn't even retie! So I was culling by 10:15.
We stayed in that cove and I got another keeper spot on a jig and pig
and another one on a crankbait and my partner caught one keeper spot.
We ran up to the "Broke Arm" point - a main lake point with rocks and
blowdowns
- and fished around it - nothing. But past the last dock leading into a
small creek my partner got a keeper largemouth. Time was running out so
we went back down to another main lake rocky point - my partner got two
keepers and I got a keeper spot there. Two of the three hit on a boat
ramp just inside the cove.
I ended up with five weighing 11.62 for second place. Partner had 4
weighing 5.6 for sixth out of 26 people. I culled four - caught four
spots on a jig and pig after not getting bit all week on it. I threw it
a lot after getting my limit, trying to get bigger fish.
I had big fish for the year in Flint River Club with a 5.3 pounder from
Eufaula last March. Pot was up to $1100 and I would have won it but
Kwong Yu caught one weighing 6.12 Sunday - won both clubs pots - over
$2300 on that one fish! He also won the tournament with five at 13.4
pounds. He finished second to me in the Sportsman Club for the year. He
or I have been first in that club each year for the past six - I have
four win to his two, but he is tough to beat!
Pretty good day - and practice with Fritz helped, although I never
caught a fish anywhere we caught one. We had six five fish limits today
but a good many people only had one or two bass.
Hey Chief - call or email me for details. I will be glad to go to
Jackson one day this week and show you where we caught fish. Let me
know. Ronnie
