PART TWO.
Sat. (tournament day)...in a nute shell...got my butt spanked! The weather was brutal;...the wind was so strong twice..I sware it almost blew me off the deck of my boat!!!! Also the cold rain was so strong, that it was stinging my face...I was looking for the tornado somewhere close...but it was just some very strong wind and rain; got a little scary at times...in my tracker!!!. So we didn't make the run I wanted to...like fishing creek. Did make it to Pitman though...but many tournament anglers there...right on my No. 1 and No. 2 spots!!! Needless to say my shallow water bite was gone for most of the day...and my back up plan was scetchy...so we came up short; blanked...I took it very hard...so did Bobby. I learned that if your shallow water bite goes away...you better have a good back up plan...I didn't. But the results for the club's was OK. Our winner had 13.89lbs for first place...did have a few members that had 7 and 8 keepers combined. We had a smallmouth for big fish, that was pushing 5lbs! Had quite a few smallmouth brought to the scales..they looked fat with eggs; also good numbers of largemouths; the few members I talked with...went to fishing creek??
Ky. Lake was slow... My buddy Jeff said that they are holding water big time...becouse of the Mississippi was over it's banks...and all the flooding in the South?? It affected the bass bite big time...but they still caught one that was over 4lbs!! They did catch some keepers...but the bite slowed down a bit, from the previous week....as far as big bass being caught. They caught over 60 bass everyday; but only few keepers each day they were there (4 days); and they are very good big bass hunters...they were hunting the big gals...but not many takers. Said they were throwing a bunch of jerk baits. He also told me that Barren River Lake was hot over the weekend...also Rough River, from what he heard from his peeps; for bass fishing??
