day 2

Thursday - April 14, 2011 - day 27

Water came up another three feet or so overnight - 8 feet in three
days!

Partner today was from South Carolina. He had six pounds yesterday and
said he wanted to go to a place he had not practiced but looked good.
We ran to an area with shallow points and coves with lots of button
bushes and willows in the water. Started pitching jig to the edge of
the visible bushes and working out to hit deeper bushes - the ones
that had been on the edge of the lake three days ago.

We fished the same baits an I caught as many fish as he did - but he
had six keepers to my one! No idea the difference - he did not front
end me and I had just as good places to fish as he did. His five best
weighed just under 13 pounds, mine weighed 2.5. Frustrating day but
at least I caught fish.

One guy on the GA team had four weighing 15 pounds to take the team
lead. He had zeroed the first day but stuck with it and caught keepers
today.

Our team still in last place! There were two 20 pound sacks weighed in
today.
