Weather prediction for today is Rain and Thundershowers, so it is with anticipation that I wait to go out and fish today. I checked out the FLW website to see who my Pro was and it turned out that he is the partner on other tournaments with Kent Maas who was my Pro in the Santee Cooper event, and he was just as pleasant to fish with as Kent. This was new fishing to me as we fished the shell beds, on my first cast with a crank I was into a white Bass. On the third cast Eddie an I were hooked as a double into white Bass. These were not the fish were after so we carried on Cranking. Eddie got two keepers, but then the bite got slow, so I threw a shaky head and hooked into a keeper. Subsequently we changed to swimming Jigs. I hooked into a big fish 5lb plus, but it threw the hook. I had to put this fish out of my mind, but it could have gotten me into the top ten if it was landed. We then moved on to look for better fish and luckily rode away from the rain. I finally got my 5 fish, culling one out.
Ended up 62 but there is only ounces in it. I’ll just have to get 5 good fish tomorrow.
