My goodness, I was on fire!, I got a $25 Gift certificate to a Bar, a TV/VCR Combo, 2 custom made rods, tackle/hat, an Okuma Deepwater reel. I think i might have paid for my entry fee in prizes. I was almost hysterical after my numbers got called 5 times out of 7 straight draws. The Bite was tough, SLOW, in the Morning the FOG was so bad you could barely see 15 yards in front of you. and I was surprised somebody didnt slip right off the dock early in the morning with all that Ice.  Nick and Bob in the "Aircraft Carrier" I think that boat had a deeper hull than the fish and ski I was fishing out of. But i have to say that Champion is a NICE Boat.  Oh well Fishing Sucked overall worse than last year. I hope CCBC get their pick next year and I will update when i talk to the guys that fished the Club event. See how the fishing went, but a cold front blew in today so i guess their fishing was just as good or Bad as yesterday.

It's ok you guys. You missed one team that weighed-in fish. The Snodgrass/Schmidt team weighed in  one fish for 2lbs 13 oz. and missed one other fish, on a over the branch hook set. Congrats Doug on your 5th place finish.

Typical Silver Lake Open for me.  Not sure what the beef is about fishing this lake in March.  You all know it is a tough bite, which is for some, the draw to this event.  Anyway, tried all the usual hunting grounds and typical baits.  Nearly froze to death in the fog, and spilled coffee all over myself.  Tried to change baits once, but the effort to do so with fingers that would not work, banished me to a day with the jig.  I had a GREAT time.  Good to see everyone again and congrats to those who caught fish.  Rob's post does make a fella go, hmmmm.....

great job.  it is nice to have more people catch fish, but i bet it makes bringing in fish that much sweeter
