Man is it tough getting going on Monday after a long tournament weekend. Friday afternoon & Saturday practice on Pokegama did not have me overly confident for the tournament on Sunday. I did manage to weigh a mixed bag that went 15.99lbs anchored by a 3.94lb smallie. Unfortunately is was a whack fest out there and that was only good enough for 12th in a 66 boat field. I did get a small check, so that was nice. It was a lot of fun, needed to get one more big one to get in the real mix. But I do think I at least held ground in the points and maybe even slid up a few spots, we will see  |

Well the points are up already today, and I moved from 8th to 5th and have a 15pt cushion over 9th place with two tourneys to go, just need to keep turning in the solid finishes.... www.abaproam.com/points/25.pdf |

Way to sack a good limit for some $$. That is a pretty good cushion with 2 to go. What a whack fest - I wish we had that type of fishery down here, other then Guntersville. Looks like a lot of the field had a limit. What was your pattern and choice of baits?

The main bait was green pumpkin fork craw rigged on a finesse carolina rig, I also caught fish on a Drop Shot & a 1/4oz Tru-Tungsten Jig. My carolina rig & drop shot were powered by Tru-Tungsten well and really helped with the feel of the bottom content, its important to have that gravel or rock when you are looking for big smallies  More details will be on the blog. |

What is a Fork Craw? Is that Lake fork Tube Craw? Finesse Carolina Rig, near the same as a Mojo?
