Nick,  it isn't so much that there aren't a lot of bass in Banks it depends on the "conditions"; i.e. temp. time of year, post spawn, weather conditions, etc. as to how the fish will bite.

Do you really think that the bass you caught at Tapps were the only ones that were there?  You probably pulled your lure past hundreds of bass that day but the factors were not conducive(look that up in your Funk and Wagnall, Larry) for whatever reason, to a good bite. 

Darn, I almost sound like I know what I am talking about.  I guess I better get me a ProCraft now.

Jeez guys,
  I just love the optimism shown by our club members.  If we recall last year, with optimal conditions we could only manage a winning weight of 20lbs.  This year with the crazy weather, no telling what the fish are doing.  MY GUESS, 20lb again.  2nd place 17lbs and 3rd place 16lb.  Alot of limits of small smallies

Ok optimistic folks... I'll throw the gauntlet down!

If anyone in the club catches a 5+ pound largemouth this weekend, I'll buy a round of beer (or pop) after the tournament for any interested parties at the Banks Lake Pub!

Russ, I'm with you on that. I always suggested going to Banks the weekend before the Jamboree. Some would stay, at least it would be a lot of pre-fishing for the Jamboree. Weather maybe even more doubtful, however.

Hey, I just want to add...all you going to Banks, if you are driving along the lake during low light, Friday evening or early Saturday AM, watch out for DEER. Drive safely along there, a deer in the grill will spoil your weekend, bigtime.

C&R, Steve

Hey Chris...how long is that beer at the pub comment good for? I didn't think about it on Sunday. Thanks for the 5-7 largemouth Mike.

Kirk,

As they say, " Same S''T same month gets quite old. Why is it so hard for clubs to find new water during June? I guess no one wants to learn something new.

Good food, good people, good fishing.......what more can you ask for?

Chris...and you thought you were gonna get away with it!
