Title: 5-19-09
Post by: Buzbait88 on May 19, 2009, 10:37:59 PM
I had a pretty good day today.  not a ton of fish, but they were hitting a buzbait which was a blast.  I caught 3 or 4 off a vibrashock right off the bat then switched up to a buzzbait and got 3 more nice bass and 2 pike.  1 of which was a pretty good 1.

Yep can't tell, have fun catching pike and dinks.  lo  all of my other big fish came from a different spot.  ;)  I like to throw a couple in the well since I don't fish many tournaments to make sure everything is good when the time comes and take a pic right before I leave.

Yelp you have to make sure your well is working right before tournment day. Wouldn't want to loose points for having a floater (https://www.ultimatebass.com/bass-fishing-forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myfishingpictures.com%2Fdata%2F500%2Fthumbs%2F5067floaters.gif&hash=4a09b340596f5b2573f3193bfa231847a1a884c8)  lo lo

If all you caught were pike and dinks you might want to try a different bait you can go there and catch 15-17 pounds no problem.........It is easy getting em in there

Not to many people following me around, but I can about imagine how you guys feel and I bet it sucks. lo but anyway if they know the spot from the pic they already know that there is fish in there so its not a big deal at all.   ~gf

Was jeremy's tournament only three boats?  that is what i heard...........I think that all the small clubs should get together and combine and have decent sized tournaments

I honestly couldn't tell you if it was or not.  3 is pretty small it seems like most places get 10 boats or so, but yeah if they all joined and got 30 boats or so the payouts would be alot better.

That is a good idea Adam.  Our clubs numbers have gone down alot in the last few years.  Alot of our local guys that have done good in Bass World or Anglers Choice have just stopped fishing the club.  When I joined it was small, but we still got 8-10 boats. 

We have tried alot of different things to get new members but it just does not work.  We just can't seen to get the good ol boys to offer some open tournaments.  Heck with a membership at $25 they might as well do away with that and just charge and entry fee so guys can fish one or two tournaments if they really want.
