steverowbotham Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 WOOOOOOOOO The time was here!!! Goodbye brook trout, see you next year, the bass are now available ... muahaha. Anyways, our club decided to have a fun open tournament and headed out for a small 7am - 1pm tournament. The morning was slow, and we didnt have a fish in the boat until almost 10:30 (lost 3, broke off 3.... not a good start) however, once we got that first one, the action heated up. Senkos (Steve's Mustard made by ghostbaits.com), chatterbaits and smoke tubes were our baits of choice today. We ended up landing about a dozen keepers, and kept our biggest five for the tournament. We weighed in at 14.10 and placed 3rd. Winners had 18.8 pounds. After the tournament, a fellow competitors boat and I decided to go back out and try and pick up some more fish for the fun of it. Well, speaking of pick up, thats just what the wind did, and in turn, so did the spinnerbait bite!!! Brent with one of our culled fish Brent with another culled fish. Aaron and Sarah with their 4th place bag of 13.35 pounds Brent and I with our 3rd place bag Bill with his 2nd place bag of 14.65 pounds Scott and his partner with their bag of 18.80 pounds. THE AFTERMATH nice spinnerbait smallie Pike to add to the mix One bruiser, and one big one haha. Aaron with a PIG 6 pound smallie.
