Decided to go out Tuesday night and do a little prefishing for my next club tournament. I met my partner at the lake and we hit the water around 7:00 pm. The lake was dead calm which made it much hotter than it should have been that late in the afternoon. We fished in one main lake cove until it got dark. I managed one decent smallmouth for my effort.  Once it got dark a strong north east wind hit the lake and made fishing almost impossible on the main lake. My parter Darrell did get a nice striper that we thought was a trophy smallmouth for a few seconds.  I got one other decent largemouth before I dropped Darrel off and went back out on my own. Two more hours only got me a couple more smallmouth and a striper. Still had a good time even with the howling wind. Night time is hard to beat this time of year. It's about the only way to get away from the crowds. I'll try to do a followup after the tournament to see if my prefishing pays off. If you're richer than me I think we're related. If you're poorer than me I know we're related. My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/

Great trip and good luck with the tourney. Quit being a mad, little bald man! Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic. | ||

Well the tournament went pretty good. At best guess I finished in 2nd place with a little over 17lbs. Our night tournaments have 2 weigh-ins with up to 5 fish at each. So I had 5 and the first and 4 at the second. 6 of the 9 were smallmouth with 2 being 3 pounders. Should have had a bigger one in the second half that would have won it for me. I was fishing a crankbait and after what I thought was a solid hook set it jumped about 3 foot out of the water and threw it back at me. Ended up loosing 4 keeper smallmouth after the first jump. All in all it was a succesful and fun tournament. Wish I would have gotten the big one it but that fishing. I forgot my camera but one of the guys took a picture. I'll post it if I get it from him. If you're richer than me I think we're related. If you're poorer than me I know we're related. My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/
