I started out fishing up in Snyder's Run but did not have any luck. I decided to make a run to near Seven Points and made a quick stop to a rocky point with a steep cliff near it. That quick stop ended up being where I fished all day! They were eating my Power Team Lures Finicky Tickler like it was candy! That Hog Tonic scent really attracts the bass! I caught 4 keepers off a dropshot fishing along steep banks. Whenever I would come up on a tree I would throw a senko into it and usually get at least a nibble (darn bluegills).
I caught my kicker fish which was only a 2.54# largemouth on a senko. Around 12 o'clock I caught my 6th keeper on a dropshot on the point where I started and ended up culling a 12oz fish.
I ended up finishing with 7.54lbs with 5 fish. One of my fish died so I had to take a 1/2lb penalty. I ended up taking 1st place for the day which was really a surprise.
I can't praise Power Team lures enough for the exceptional quality of their baits. I am happy to be on their pro-staff and their baits alone helped me win today. I don't think I could have had the success I had using any other bait. A couple guys in the club weighed 3 fish but no one else brought in a limit today. Everyone reported catching fish and I had 76 degrees for water temp on this September morning.
Next tournament is September 22 in which I will not be attending. A buddy of mine is getting married and I am in the wedding! Should be a fun one.
I am heading out to Colorado this coming Saturday for a nice getaway with my wife and her family. Going to do some fly fishing out there in which I will try and post some pictures.
My next tournament I will be attending is September 29 at Curwensville Lake in which my Club is hosting. Guaranteed 1000$ payout if you are interested please contact me!
Next club tournament I will attend is October 4 at Lake Chataqua in New York. Should be a blast!
Tightlines!
