Boy, did I get knocked down a notch on my crappie finding skills. We fished the Neely Henry tournament and got just short of skunked 48th/60. The winning stringer was just over 15 pounds for 7 fish. There was a hundredth of an ounce separating 2nd from 1st. Although, it was fun and also a learning experience. Gonna go nurse my wounds and fish Grenada this weekend. What's the water temps now? Maybe see some of you Grenada gurus down there. Maybe you can teach me a thing or two.
Not sure right now, but it was 61 sat.
15# sack is STRONG!!!!!
Who won?
Hendren & Logan I believe. I know Capps & Coleman took fourth or fifth. Those guys stay in the money. Hendren & Logan also seem to be in the tops as well. I hope to be there with them someday. Hopefully sooner and not later. Tournament fishing can get real expensive when you are forking out all the money.
You keep at it Jeepster. It will all be worth it in the end when we're reading all of your "How To" tips when you're famous. Good luck.
Hey, Jeepster I always say you can't catch them with a dry line. In other words you got to get out there and get after them. We had a tournament several years ago on Tunica Cuttoff and had one fish at 1:30 I was panicing. Well all the sudden the bite started and we were culling fish in a ten minute time frame. Tournament fishing puts a lot of pressure on you.
Just stay after it. It took us five years to finally win one, then won another a week later. Now were back to the same old, same old. But man its fun!! CM is tough. The best compete in those week after week. We can make top twenty, just cant break into the top five. And remember, I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Its hard to beat luck! Some of the best get beat by luck every week.
thanks for the words of encouragment. I am going to keep at it. Going to fish Grenada tourney next weekend.
Two buddys of mine caught fish over three pounds during the week prefishing. I heard that tournament day there where a few over three weighed in also. No results on the web site yet to confirm the later. Some folks that know say a Three pounder is uncommon in NH. They might be wrong now. HaHaHa,,,,,,,,,Don
Looks like a couple were weighed in tournament day over three pounds....
I am glad to say I won at Neely Henry. 15.19lbs.
Grenada will be a good tourny. One year it was won with over 20lbs. with 7 fish. It will be a hard one to win and it will take a big weight.
Well congratulations!!! I heard the news from Gurley over a church last night. Good deal Possumcop. I am from over the county line from ya, you ever need a partner let me know. Again, congrats on the win!!!:D
I talked to Gurley today. Boy he is a mess but I love him to death. He is a good person. He and JD drove all the way to Tunica to watch me weigh in in the Miss St. Championship last year. I am glad to hear he is going to church alot now. God Bless Yall!!!
