Ben and I decided to give the Cabelas tournament a try again with 30+ mph winds. We started out up north and only caught on channel in 4 ft of water on our first spot. Next spot in 3 ft we caught a 10 pounder and five other box fish to get our 5 fish weigh in limit, but we didn't have the size of fish we needed. Time to head out in the wind and try some deeper water. Hit the area I caught the 34 pounder the weekend before and caught a handful of good 3-6 pounders...not going to help in this tournament. I looked at Ben and asked him if he was up to going to the opposite end of the lake in the wind and he said, "sure, why not" so off we went. Wasn't a bad drive down riding with the waves, but we knew it was going to be ROUGH on the way back. Started out shallow again and caught a dozen good fish, but not what we were after. Went out to try some deeper water in the mouth of a creek and bam another dozen good fish, but not the big one's. Time was running out so we decided to try a cove and see if a big one was lurking but only caught another handful of eaters. Time to make the trek back north against the 5 to 6 footers. Everything on the boat got wet and I got to test out the new boat in some great waves.
Ben and I had a great time and had a great day of catching, but not the one's we needed to win the tournament. We placed 13th out of 37 teams.
