First Tourney with my club this year and I won it. It was tough out there but was able to pick up a pattern on fish sitting on ledges that were about halfway to the total channel depth. Caught the 3 that won it. Also lost one bigger one and several smaller ones. Good day for me for this time of year on the Chick.

Tough day. Only really fished for like an hour before wind got real bad. Wanted to head back into some of the creeks for shelter from the wind but my trim broke so wind up just making the run all the way back to Powhatan Resort in my crippled rig and leaving early.
