Thanks for a great time everyone!  I seriously had a great time.  Despite freezing my finger tips off, I enjoyed every minute of it.  Both Seth and myself were fishless until around 10am Saturday.  We started to fish the docks on the island and were getting hits, but were not able to connect with the flappin' hog.  We thought that we were on a pattern after not even getting any bites, but technically, you have to have fish in the boat for a pattern right?  The 08' Angler of the Year saw us and after hearing of our empty livewells decided to remind us to "Downsize and slow down".  Well, we went around each other and continued on the docks they had just fished, and likewise for them fishing the docks we had just been to.  The very next dock brought us 8 fish and our biggest of the day.  Who would have thought a 3" senko would be so productive.....I think that we caught upwards of 20 fish, tons of dinks, but we got to cull fish. 

Being a new member in a club, I feel gratefull to be in such friendly company.  I'm sure that it is not all clubs share advice while tourney fishing, espically to the "FNG", but you all made my membership worthwhile!  Thanks!  Chris

Wow, what a close one!   Having the "big" fish tie-breaker decide this tournament  must have been a real heartbreaker for Brian and Monty... but an absolute joy for Larry and Jose.   It sounded like the fishing was a little on the finicky side but many of you seemed to have figured the fish out towards the end of the tourney.   I wish I could have joined all of you but unfortunately I had to rest my ailing back.

I hope to see a lot of you guys at the Frostbite tourney in three weeks...the fishing is usually very good and the fellowship even better.

I discovered the Short Senko bite 4-5" early saturday morning throwing watermellon and then white Senko's on the pad line in 4-5 feet of water. Stuck 9-10 fish myself with Daryl sticking 2 on Senko's and one pitching a jig.

Daryl tried to force the jig bite for two days and it wasn't happening. Lesson learned always listen to what the fish are telling you. I was mostly dead sticking the Senkos twitching it every now and then and when I picked it up the fish would move it 3-4 feet.

I had a good time anyway with all those who showed and the weather was great other than the frigid temps on saturday.

I think we all can rename Silver Lake to Shiver Lake.  Lessons learned this year. 1. Cabelas Bargin Cave was a good source of Under Armor cold weather undies and lined trousers, good price in the spring after its not supposed to snow.  2. Big bass bite small lures fished real slow, as in deadstick them.  3. Fish your strength and confidence lures when you don't know a lake.  4. Take the time to learn your weakest technique.  4. The more you particapate in club activities the more you learn.
