It was a tough bite. The wind was blowing 25-40 mph all day, and the
temperature dropped almost 20 degrees from yesterday. I missed one nice fish throwing a Mesa Tackle Supply stick worm weightless as a jerk bait. (dead sticking it) About noon Hammer picked up a smaller keeper on a spinner bait. Then his batteries died from fighting the wind all day. We ran several miles up river and bought a new set of batteries, and went back to the area we had been fishing. Hammer picked up another keeper a little bigger than the first slow rolling the tops of submerged and dieing weed beds. Then I caught one over 2 lbs on a Secret Weapon. A little bite later I boated another one. I figured it for over 3 lbs. I got excited and over horsed my next bite, and it pulled free. That was it for the day. We wieghed in 10.30 lbs of fish for fourth place with a field of about 45 teams. That 3+ weighed in at 4.05 for 1st place big fish. The Secret Weapon Spinner bait did the trick today at the season opener Amercian Bass Association tournament. Ther are about a hundred new anglers who know about Secret Weapon lures now. For the record when they handed me the mic and pinned me down on what I caught the big fir the day on Ilet everybody know it was a Secret Weapon spinner bait and that they should visit www.SecretWeaponLures.com if they wanted to check them out. If I had boated either of the other fish I had one we would have had first or second. On the other hand. I know exactly what I did wrong with both fish. One I set the hook to early, and the other I over horsed. Thats a heck of a way to start out the series. Did I say YEEEE!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, Bob. But you know the rules: you lose a winning fish on a
Weapon and you have to fish with the blades backwards your next day on the water! ;-) -- Bob Rickard www.secretweaponlures.com --------------------------=x O'))) "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ...

Great job Bob! I heard the last day of the BASS Open on Havasu was
cancelled because of high winds. Windy conditions are perfect for throwing a spinnerbait, good thinking! Warren "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... It was a tough bite.
