state tourny

[gonefishin3]

Well just got back from fishing the junior B.A.S.S state tournament....

First day i went out prefishing and i went to the north of our lake to see if i can pattern out some bigger fish well i caught 2 2lbers and didnt hook set anymore the rest of that day... i Had been fishing the lake the past 5 weekends in a row. So anyway i go on to fish the next day on the tournament and my first spot is taken... dangit so i resume to my next spot and we get down there and theres someone else following me... Bad luck following me i guess. Well i pop the trolling motor and turn on my sonar and im going around and i find my fish on the rocks points and drop offs what i didnt relize at the time was the fish were right on the rocks seeing that its fall and there chaseing shad it shuld of been obious. well i catch four keepers and im not doing to well probably 4.5 lbs total yuch well one of the fish was barely just touching the line so i decided to throw it back (not wanting to take a one lb penalty plus the fish) so i ended up that day with about 3.6 lbs or so. well the leader came in with 10 lbs and second was around 5. wow what a day so just with my luck i figure out my patern at 10:30 that night jumping in excitement for the next day... Well patern changed fml... so i located some submerged islands and drug a split shot rig across them and caught another 3 keepers i ended up in 4th place bieing just shy of 7 lbs. well winner ended up with 13 lbs and i was 3 oz away from 3rd place and beat 4th by about 4 oz....

All in all good weekend on the lake learned a little and had fun i suppose thats the important thing.
