NOT GOOD!!!

Well to say I am not happy with my 6th place finish at the Bite N Bassmaster Challenge is an under statement. This was a personal tournament for me, I use to fish this lake all the time growing up and up until I moved down south jersey. My favorite lake, I have caught numerous 3lbers, 4lbers through out the years! The day started of fast, we hit the riprap nothing, hit the cove nothing till we hit the rocks . 40 minutes into the tourny and I had a good 2lber on topwater, jay got another one smaller but a keeper on the next cast to the same spot. Excited was I to see we need only one more bass to limit out and then go for the culling!! But it was not to happen as through out the day I would get seven bites and MISS seven BITES!!! Talk about frustration!!??? Jay wasn't even getting bit really, and the word was it slowed down but I don't care what they say, I have to GET THE BITE!! No excuses!! In the end I was proud of myself for keeping an open mind and fishng my srtengths as well as fishing a few techniques I normally don't use.
Next is Deal Lake a lake I never been to before or had the chance to pre fish this one should be fun!!

GET THE BITE!!!
