23 pounds, and nothing....

[MIbasser]

I had my last Federation tournament this weekend on Saginaw Bay. I hate the Bay. Earlier this week the waves were 4'-8'. So I tell my partner I really don't want to pre fish. So we did what we did last year and doing so cashed a check. Drink heavily on Saturday, wake up at 3:30 in the morning and go fish! That is one thing we are both good at. So we get up drive the 1 1/2 hours to the Bay and fish. I had a pretty hard morning. Tom put our smallest fish in the boat and I had two break offs. One was big as my rod doubled over (never saw it), the other was okay (did see it). That was the first time I had two break offs that I can ever remember. Talk about not having a good morning. Well it only got better. Our smallest fish in our bag was 3.92. Pretty sad when you need a 4 pounder to cull!! Our big fish was a 5.56 (4th biggest weighed in), caught by yours truly.

To sum it up, no prefish, hangover, and one little spot that we know of in the whole Bay, we ended up with 23.03 and finished 6th!!!!!!!!!!! That part sucked. The fishing, was great, the weather was great. Just not enough to cash a check. Oh well.
