Hey several folks have sent PM's or emails asking if I was OK as I have been missing in action on the forum.
Hey I really appreciate your concern, I have been a little under the weather, traveling due to business and worst of all my computer has been down as well.
I spent last week in NC on business and trying to find time in the afternoons to pre-fish for the FLW Ranger Owners tourney on Kerr Lake. My hotel room wireless was down and the management did not appreciate me sitting in the lobby in my PJ's using the only HS access point in the hotel
The tournament included 300 plus RANGER boats, cold rainy weather, high winds each day. Saturday caught 3 keepers that went 5lb, 5oz and finished 232nd. Winning weight was 20lbs plus. No excuses I just could not put together a solid pattern.
Old School, I would like you to know one of those fish came on the jig head you sent me. The fish would flash at a white spinnerbait so I slowed down and fished with your Jig with a white skirt with a few blue strands included. No trailer, just cut the skirt uneven to give it a different look. microtek60, another one of my fish came on your spinnerbait thrown on a wind blown point and the third fish was caught by my partner and he was using a Senko, Wacky style back in the nutbushes.
Keith Redtrap - :redratltrap: did not produce as the fish were so confused by the weather they did not know they were suppose to crush the red trap
The winners said they run and gunned wind blown points with white spinnerbaits and pulled in 20lbs. I did that as well, but with different results. Go figure.
As always, I had a great time because I was fishing. To top all this I got to glad hand Forest Woods, Jimmy Houston, George , Guido and Dion Hibdon.
Super learning experience, I am trying to put together a plan to go to Table Rock next month and try it again.
Anyone got any 411 on Table Rock?
Thanks again and ya'll take care
