Club tourney today. Pretty tough day other than a few guys most were lucky if they caught one that just made the size. Had some hits but nothing real solid. Wind made it real tough. In hindsight should have run around more to find warmer water areas as that seemed to be where anybody who did good was. Oh well live and learn.

Fished Bassmaster Weekend Series Sunday. Not a bad day, Finished 61st of 169 boats with 6-3Big time windy, never seen that big of rollers on an inland lake. Water over the bow many times and bilge running wide open. Lot of fish caught, think most everyone stayed in Nutbush and wasn't crazy like my boater and me running up the lake. Tightlines

Tough fishing conditions. Real heavy waves all day due to the windy conditons. Tried just abouit everything but only bite we had was on the pitched jigs. Wind made it tough to tell bites so missed a couple of others with late hook sets.
