A tough night for all! Bitter cold and then it warmed up by at least ten degrees and started to rain..when that stopped the wind started to howl!! Fishing was as tough as you'd expect in the circumstances. Only eight fish up on the board all night....shared by five anglers, all of whom qualify for the SP World Championship event ( I think)...

Congrats guys! I can only imagine how cold it got. We had real heavy winds here that pierced right through your clothes. Did anyone get any pics at all?

Karl LOL--Chances of The Kernel becoming WPC are pretty slim. UNLESS--He gets his butt down South and gets in some bank time. Congrats to all who qualified---especially Mark. I would LOVE to see him come down South and do well.

Thanks Herk for putting on a great show. the night was nasty and when the wind came made it worse. all the fish came from the shallow end of the lake. not like last year. I had some bites but nothing on the hook. Jake missed 2 fish when I went to get sme shut eye. as it started to come to the end of the event are lines started to get hits, but it was all over. it was a long night for all. Mark R congrats and Mark M glad that you made the trip but sorry that you blanked like me, all in all it was a good night of fishing for most.
-------------------- CARPIN AINT EASY. Having fun doing it makes it easy.

--------------------  MARK Washington, DC Chairman Catch a man a fish, and you can sell it to him. Teach a man to fish, and you ruin a wonderful business opportunity... "BE AFRAID TO DIE ,UNTIL YOU HAVE WON SOME VICTORY FOR HUMANITY" Fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air. It brings meekness and inspiration, reduces our egoism, soothes our troubles and shames our wickedness. It is discipline in the equality of men--for all men are equal before fish.etcp reigns supreme --President Herbert Hoover , New York Herald Tribune, May 10, 1947. "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." GWB 9/2000 on second thought .....bad idea. |
