Amazing Day

Hey all, I went out on Winnebago this morning, (didn't get out till 9am,
because I bartended till about 2:30am) with a good friend, and my team
tournament partner Josh Rasor. We decided to see how the smallie
fishing was and just throttled them. We had 26, with 9 legals, and our
largest 6 weighing about 17.5 lbs, I was thinking we were just about
pushing a 3lb average.

We found that the Sheepshead (freshwater drum) were all over teh
crayfish, and both of us switched to crayfish patterns (me a small Deep
Tiny N), and Josh throwing a tube & Bitsy Bug jig. Josh got the 2
largest as you can see in the pictures in ABPF, but I took the numbers
title, and did manage to catch 5 of the 9 keepers :-).

Warren,

I decided not to give tournaments a run this year, at least not at the
frequency I had anticipated. Financially Michelle and I couldn't handle
the 20+ I had scheduled, so I dropped to 3 or 4, including hopefully the
NWC. The first one is on my home water on May 28th. So it should be
post spawn smallies (water is 52 right now on the main lake, about 56 in
bays & channels). Everything is up and hungry now, so it isn't really
to tough , but we will see in the coming weeks, when I am running into
pre-spawn, spawn , & post spawn all at the same time :-).

Chris

GOOD LUCK BROTHER, hope to see ya at the NWC.
