Lesson learned as another big one gets away

Well the trend continues. My co-anglers do great in tournaments and I finish just outside the money or don’t do well at all after I lose a big fish or two.

No jackpot, but good fishing at Carolina Angler’s event

Well Susan and I didn’t win the lottery. 

Heck, we didn’t match a single number. Oh well, who needs $590 million? And I also didn’t win any money bass fishing, but did have a great weekend competing in the Carolina Angler’s Team Trail Classic on Kerr Lake with Tyler Purcell. We teamed up to bring in decent limits on both Saturday and Sunday.

You can't win if you don't play

Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. And sometimes you should have won but you lose because you didn’t enter the tournament.

Better luck on lake than in yard

Things are looking up. Not only did I finally catch a few good fish last weekend and earn a little money, but a couple of mechanical problems that I thought were major turned out to be almost trivial.

Still searching for the big catch

Well, I did it again. After finding a bunch of fish on Friday while prefishing for the Kerr Lake BFL, I had a middle of the pack finish Saturday

after weighing in two fish that totaled less than 5 pounds.

Fishing goes to the birds

Fishing last weekend went to the birds for me. Literally.
