Wow, this is great, I actually got out on the water for this club tournament two different days, once for about 3hrs on Memorial day and now about 5 hours this past Sunday.  Mr. Veech and I got out on the water a little before 7am.  Nothing really happened topwater wise for us and the first 3-4 spots we hit produced nothing.

We then worked our way all the way down to the bottom of the St. Croix just so we could see what it looked like, we did manage to find a few fish down there on a white super fluke.  On the weigh back up, we caught a keeper on the west side on some chunk rock bank.  We then rode all the way up to the Afton area and found a sand bar with some rocks on it and few other areas.  We even found some shallow grass, wood and rocks that were able to pluck some nice largemouths with a swim jig & tube.
  All in all, it was kind of hit and miss, we did find some good areas with good quality fish, which will be key as we are fishing a no-cull tournament.  So my strategy will be to start fishing for big fish first.  I feel pretty good about this tournament, but Saturday is another story.  We have a club tournament on Big Marine on Saturday and I have not been there for two years…..  It is a hole tournament, which suits my preferred shallow water power fishing style

I am traveling for work for the rest of the week, so check back early next week for entries on my tournament finishes.  I also forgot to mention how key my Stay’NCharge – All Charge unit was on Lake Marion last Saturday, as we ran a ton of docks and every time we fired up the big motor my trolling motor batteries got a little boost that kept us going all day.

Tight Lines,
