8/3/13 Carsaljo BNBA Open Buddy

We had our open Buddy on Lake Carsaljo it was a great turn out thank you to 5 alive Dave B and Tim for all coming out you made this one very competitive!! Our day was cloudy all day and rain on and off water temps had dropped..to the 70s.. My son and I had a plan and we stuck with it but it didn't produce the fish we needed.. It started slow with only Pickerel AND Big pickerel biting... Finnally we scored with a keeper around 9am, we hit the channel and stayed around it where scattered lilypads were at, we couldn't get to our main spot it was occupied by another boat who happened to win it back there!! I got em on a Senko Kick N Bass Scent and my go to topwater bait. I was proud that our club guys Steve and Phil won 2nd place and Jay took 6th and had a nice 4lber! These guys were no average fisherman if you know 5alive you know some of the best NJ anglers are in that club!! It was ON!!!
