Wayne and I wanted to check out some alternative fishing spots ahead of the approaching rain, so we headed to West Neck early this morning and shoved away from the dock about 6:30. Upon our return at 11:30, we were ready to start formulating our open-tournament game plan for this coming Sunday, May 21st.
In those five hours on the water, we managed to put a dozen fish in the boat, with the biggest a 4-pounder. Besides finding some spots, we experimented with some different baits and found a few that were working today.
Our buddy, Skip, also was out today and found some fish, as well. As he explained, though, he was having some problems getting and/or keeping the fish hooked. Still managed to get one to avoid the skunk.
Will let everyone know by way of this note that, if you're planning to fish Sunday's competition, you should plan to arrive at West Neck, sign up, pay your fees, launch your boat, and be waiting in the boat basin no later than 5:30 a.m. That will allow the TD and his admin assistant time to sort out the money and stuff the envelopes before our safe-light (about 6 a.m.) departure. Wayne will announce weigh-in time before we leave the boat basin. For anyone who has forgotten, the entry fee is $80 per boat (including big-fish pot), $20 for optional side pot, $5 for launch fee (unless you store your boat at West Neck), and $3 for each extra vehicle.
And, as usual, if you have any questions, call Wayne at 757-478-3387.
