I have back to back tourneys at Brookville Lake IN this weekend and I can't wait.I can already feel those smallies bending my rod. Has anyone else been doing any good this year?

My first tournament is Sunday and I also will be targeting the bronze backs!!!!!!

I've got all my tubes and jigs and shakey heads ready to go!! I love this time of year for the big girls plus the water temps up it should be a hwag fest...

I fished my first tournament ever on Saturday. I did pretty well considering the major weather change and the fact that lots of guys got skunked.

So what did you place Fire Ball? Any checks?

I don't know what I placed, since they only announced top 5, but I easily placed in the top 10. No money for me, but it was only my first tournament. I am looking forward to fishing another in June.

Excellent job. Great stuff to make the top ten!!!!

Well it was a pretty brutal tourney.A cold front came in the day before the tourney. So the fish were closed mouthed for the most part caught 9 but they were all short. with the wind at 25 to 30 mph it was a rough day. 20 members only bagged 10 keepers winning weight was 5lbs. The second day was another story the wind died down for most of the day and it warmed up first fish of the day was 3lbs.then it was 15 short ones but the rest of the feild was doing the same one lucky guy found a honey hole came in with a full bag one 5lber and 4 2lbers. Crankbaits and spinner baits were the order of the day. Jigs and plastics weren't working. I'll do it all over again in two weeks until then I'll have a heating pad on my back LOL...

Great stuff. I like when conditions get ruff. Gets you to concentrate and slow down and do what needs to be done.

LOL thanks Nunzio.. I get to try it all over again this saturday. And I can't wait. But no matter what you think the fish should be doing they will be doing something else. And of course the fun part is trying to figure out what will put fish in the boat.
