A little late but it’s been a crazy couple weeks. We pretty much bait hunted all of Friday. I must say it was more of a relaxing hunts as well there was bait in about every creek we checked. We just keep weeding through and keeping the bigger bait. Saturday morning in my opinion brought prefect conditions, Overcast, with rain off and on throughout. Water temps were upper 50’s. We fished free boards on the bank, light lines on the channel side, free and light floats out back and a down rod or 2. We had steady action for the first few hours. I even lost my JIGGINITY catching my first striper casting the bank on a fluke. Not long after that one I hooked up on our biggest fish of the tournament a 35.5” on the same fluke on a med action jig rod. What a battle that was. We caught a bunch of fish on all set ups except a down rod. We turned in a 35.5” and a 33.75” which placed us 2nd overall with 69.25”. My son won first in youth division as well. It was a Reely Blessed day for sure.
