Practice was okay. The wind was horrible, at 15-40+ MPH! I slammed into a wave, and now my console moves a little bit more than it did before this trip. I will have to check it out when I get home. Of course, the weather tomorrow is entirely different—gorgeous, starting at 57 degrees and going to 82 degrees, with wind at 3-10 MPH. I have several spots lined up, starting with a 15-mile run. I feel very confident there. I am looking forward to tomorrow. Good luck and have fun!!!! Pics of fish caught in practice.

BardeRodz Genesis + Jig + accurate casting = Good day on the water regardless of the bites.

Treble in the hand is never good, and it immediately makes you very aware of where those hooks are in future catches, at least it did for me.

For me, those are the days when you sometimes learn the most. I want those days in practice. Then I know where and what not to do. 

Never! Ok, well, maybe last week. 

Good luck! You got this. Find your zone.

If you're considering participating in more online tournaments, it's essential to understand each tournament's specific rules. Here’s a clear example of fish placement from one of the more restrictive online tournaments: "All fish are to be photographed on the measuring board, facing left, with the mouth COMPLETELY CLOSED, nose touching the bump piece, with the Event Code and measurement CLEARLY VISIBLE in the photo. If you feel the need to use your hand to secure the fish on the board, be sure that your hand does not cover any part of the fishes gill plate or extend past the end of the lower or upper dorsal fins"

More importantly - Have Fun! Learn a little more about bass fishing and these online tournaments are a blast. It is my favorite tournament style because there is pressure and it is more than one day so you will find a day that suits your style. 

Mack Toon I am stuck at 97.50 - maybe I can find a couple of fish bigger than 19" before the end of the month.
