Well after prefishing for this tourney a week beforehand, i felt very confident in what my game plan was going to be. While prefishing, i found bass on artificial structure while deadsticking a senko... come tournament time however, this was not a very strong pattern.
My buddy paul was fishing in the tourney for lunker and caught a small keeper right off the bat. I could not get bit all day! I went back and forth to my 2 hot spots all day without many bites. I snapped a fish off at a dock early in the day. I had to really work to get my keeper. after my 3rd trip back to some grass, i flipped a senko into some weeds and ended up landing a 1.5lb largemouth. Thank God i caught him.. I was so discouraged but i knew perseverance would pay off... mostly everyone else in the club had a hard time too. i ended up in 5th place in the tourney. The leader found some fish and caught 13lbs worth.. 2nd place had 1 bite all day and caught a 3.5lber... so in all a bad day turned into a good day at 11:30.. i got some valuable club points and hopefully secured my place as rookie of the year!

Some News and a Tourney coming up!
So there has been some good things goin on as of late... I joined the Slippery Rock bass fishing team and have been helping get some sponsors.. I contacted 2 companies that were more than willing to help our club out! California Tackle and Venom Lures! I've never used California Tackle's line of baits before but I am sure they work. They have some potent scent they use on their baits called RoadKill (its a really strong garlic based scent developed by Dennis, the owner of California Tackle.)
Also, Venom Lures are the manufactures of an amazing line of Tubes, creature baits, and jigs! I have been using their products for a couple years now and am very satisfied with their lures!
Also, Scott Laukhuff added me to his prostaff at the CentreSportsman Tv Show.. I write some blogs for them and will be testing out some baits for him that he is currently developing! I am really excited to help Scott out as he is a great guy! and an awesome Outdoorsman!
I have a tourney coming up on Sunday at Foster Sayers Dam in Howard, PA.... I went out and practiced for it last saturday. I found a pattern that should still produce this weekend. It is calling for the same kind of weather. If that is the case then the fish need to look out! I will post a blog about the tourney and how it went on Sunday. I need a strong finish at this one to put me on top the standings for Rookie of the Year in the club! and possibly a top 5 in points!!
It's time for me to hit the sack! i have to get up at 5:30am for the 1st day of Pennsylvania Archery Season!
Catch ya later!
