I saw a little cove off the main lake and idled back to escape a wake boat. I noticed a slight water flow. Found this 25.25 inch in 5 feet of water tucked up against a concrete wall.

Sitting in the boat prepping for a private last minute tournament tomorrow. 2 Fish team deal with no prep allowed. Only know the general area of The Everglades. The decision process starts now. I figure a frog and popper with a spook as a backup for the morning. Square bill and jerk for mid morning, then try to clean up with Shakey and Texas rig for the afternoon. Keeping it simple. Only using 5 rods. No clue what the clarity or depth will be like. My mission is to just have fun.

Okeechobee Tournament Results: It was a brutal day for everyone as the lake and weather didn't cooperate. Water temps were between 94 and 97. I had make a strategic decision after a couple hours of silence that payed off. I used an old school technique of finding: 1. Big concrete structure 2. Wind blown area that fed water directly from the main lake to a canal with a depth of 10-15 feet. 3. See a pattern of waiting for the drive by fish instead of chasing them. 4. Keep my boat and co-angler safe from a maze of hazards. = We fished the rim canal gated spillways. This was the second time in a row that my boat won not only the Big Bag, but also the Biggest Fish. When it mattered the most it came down to what Brian says all the time. Make the right decisions, use common sense, and don't over complicate things. 😉

It’s freaking hot on the Butler Chain in Orlando. Was able to draw some out from under the docks first thing this morning as I threw SMH as a tester to feel the bottom contour and whammo. Not a huge catch but nothing wrong with a 2.5lb. Dammit, I can’t get the Purple Rain earworm out of my head all Summer!

Came home from travel to find my King of the Ring Plaque and some goodies. Thanks for putting this on for us. I’m looking forward to the next round where I can focus more. I’ll take a top 10 any day! Most importantly it was a lot of fun!

Took the time to learn a new body of water on the Harris Chain. Landed 14 today. Nothing huge but solid and consistent. Key was to slow down presentation and find an ever so slight current.
