Warren,

Congratulations man, I did not fish the tournament this weekend. My boat
is
still not running right, plus my partner from Kalamazoo would have had to
drive down very early Sunday morning, (like 1 or 2 am ) and then turn
around
and drive home right after the tourney and then work at 7am Monday
morning.
Plus money was tighter than anticipated because of my boat repairs, so I
just took my wife fishing Saturday and fished by myself in the morning on
Sunday (really just to torture myself with seeing the boats go by). I
Posted pictures from Saturday and Sunday on ABPF.
Again congratulations!

Thanks Chris, it was an interesting one. More like Ivan vs Tri-State
Bassmasters, since I never actually made a cast into the Hudson proper.

I actually threw in my 2 cents at the ramp on Saturday morning that I
was
all up for at least delaying Day 1. After all, rain was blowing
sideways,
winds were blowing a stead 25-30, gusting up to 45 or so. There were 4
footers crashing the planned ramp on the main river, so launching there
was
out of the question. We decided to launch in Rondout Creek.

2nd worst weather I ever fished in, only to the Oneida BASS Open last
year.
I actually ran down to the wrecks RichZ turned me on to, but never
bothered
fropping my trolling motor. It was worse than "snotty".

To make a long story short I caught 3 fish on Saturday, including a 4-2
LM
and a rat SM & a rat LM. I was leading by about 1.5# or something after
Saturday & only 5 guys had fish. Sunday morning it was blowing so hard
that
they called it off. Being in 1st place & holding lunker I didn't
object;
I
was home at 11 am & took my daughter out. The day here was awesome.

So the Boom Lake jinx is off, at least for now. Hope you fished that
tourney!

Good Luck Warren!

Chris

Congrats on the win, Warren. A win is a win is a win. Tough conditions and
you managed to stay focused. Even taking a run out to Port Ewen under the
conditions you faced was more than I'd have been able to muster. Well,
maybe when I was a young pup like you I'd've tried it.G

Anyway, you know where I was this weekend. There were 3, two day club
tourneys going on there as well, and even though the fishing was better
than what you guys found, two of them cancelled their 2nd day as well.

Oddly enough, the conditions weren't quite as bad on Sunday -- although the
fishing wasn't as good.

I hope the day you spent not catching fish with me in the creek a couple
years back did some good this weekend.

Thanks Rich, and YES, your guided trip of that creek paid off, kinda. I
went to one spot we fished, by the two restaurants, and hooked a big bass on
my 1st pitch in there. I was using a big tune & some 4/0 hooks I bought
recently. I noticed a fine layer of rust on them but used one anyway.
Well, what I didn't realize was that all the barbs on those hooks were
practically dust. I eased up for 1 second on that 4-5#er & the hook slid
right out. Oh well, lesson learned. The we didn't fish the spots I caught
my 3 keepers, but I'll be glad to tell you about them & another spot.

Privately, of course ;-)

I talked to a few ABA guys who prefished at Port Ewen last week. To quote
one "you wouldn't believe how many bass were on those wrecks..."

Too bad I never got to wet a line there.

Way to go, Warren! The storm moved up faster than I had predicted and
slammed your area exactly at the wrong time. Did you find water out of the
wind or just ride the bucking waves?
