Mcc adventure

BRM asked lil bit and I if we would fish with him on Saturdays mcc tourney. I made sure he knew lil bit was gonna man her own set of rods and we could swap out fishing. The trip was set then.

Friday morning approached and I made the drive to lake Washington to meet up with BRM. We launched his big blue boat and off we went. We fished deep and far to find some fish. BRM even let me drive big blue until I got a big wind sock in the motor and we had to cut his harness free and get assistance from another boater lol. With our game plan set, I left back for Arkansas to pick up lil bit.

Lil bit and I made it for the Friday night meet and great where we met a few folks and traded stories with meatgetter.

We left Roy's store and went to southern star where we got ready for the morning fishing trip at our cabin. After we laid down for the night, both of our minds couldn't rest as we visioned big Washington slabs dancing on our poles causing us a sleepless night.

Saturday morning seemed to arrive after countless awakenings thoughout the night. We got some goodies from bait n things and met sat doc and torch. Attachment 152253Attachment 152254We helped BRM get the boat in the water and eased across the lake in the dark. The early morning air was chilly and the fog loomed around us. Time came to drop the spider legs out and the game was on. The fish were slow biting for us so we decided to make a move. Attachment 152252 when we arrived to our second destination I was concerned as there wasn't a boat around. We fished hard and plucked a few nice fish out for our creel. We gave up on this spot as we knew we were in the wrong place so of we were again.

After another short ride we laid out the spider again. Attachment 152255. BRM ran the boat from the back and was an excellent net man while lil bit and I manned the poles. Lil bit was a trouper staying on the rods all dayAttachment 152256. The last hour BRM and I swapped out and I got to relax in the back playing net man. Attachment 152257Attachment 152258

The 3pm deadline neared as we fished by meathead Attachment 152259.

We loaded the boat and packed up our cabin and headed for the weigh in. We didn't finish in the too teams but we had a great time. The mcc board was nice enough to give lil bit a rod for fishing which she was excited about. Meathead was lucky enough to win the $50 drawing prize. Attachment 152260Attachment 152261

We have decided that anyone willing to have us as a partner sometime give is a shout. BRM held his cool and watched his pees and ques with lil bit in the boat when we lost some good fish. Thanks for a good time and we will keep improving.

What I learned on this tourney was friends are friends before and after the tourney but not during. Don't run the big motor with a wind sock on the edge of the boat as the motor will eat it up when it flies out of the boat. When you are fishing by your self and there are no boats around you, you are in the wrong location and better move. No one is going to fish Friday where they plan to fish on Saturday.

Thanks for reading my thread and we look forward to seeing you on the water. Tight lines.

Sounds like a great day, Lil Bit is becoming a force to be reckoned with. BRM knows his stuff, if y'all were paying attention you learned a lot.
Congrats on a great day, where you are on the leader board ain't what its all about rite now, the memories you and Autumn are making are priceless!

Nice story JW. I certainly enjoyed a magnificent day with you and Autumn, even tho I called her Amber half the time. :)

Lil Bit did a great job, and it's easy to see the great job you've done raising her!!!

Thanks JW and Autumn for some Great memories. They'll last me the rest of my years, and regardless of our final weight, we were ALL winners at this tourney!!!!!!

Thanks Reese, I definitely learned a lot from BRM. Fishing this past weekend was more about the friendships made, friendships rekindled, and memories made. BRM it won't be long before you are doing he same thing with your grand kids as time passes very quickly!!!

This tourney had a more intense atmosphere than the fruit jar for sure. I appreciate every one who embraced and welcomed lil bit and I !!!

Great job!!! I just hope Miss Autumn didn't get too scared seeing all of that ugly in one place.

It was fun and good to see y'all again. It sounds like you have learned some good lessons. Our fruit jars are laid back compared to the MCC tourneys. The intensity will be stepped up another notch or two this weekend with Crappie Masters..

Yup good to see you too feesh. I know lil bit enjoyed ya talking with her.

way to go abh and brm!
