Fishing Tourney
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 4:52 pm
Hey Guys, fly fishing works even during tournaments! I fished last Saturday in the freshwater division and took 2nd place using only a fly rod.
It was the first day I had been in the new Heitage Featherlite 9.5 kayak and I really enjoyed the outing. I fished with a 9' 8wt TFO rod and comparable reel. If I caught a fish, I didn't want to loose it. On Friday evening, BK gave me a pencil popper to try & that is what I caught the fish on. I went to Piney Z and stayed there until 11:30 with no luck. I then went to the pool at the lighthouse and caught a nice black bass. The most I could make it measure was 16" but I was plenty proud of getting that. The wind had kicked up around 9:00 and was horrible the rest of the day.
I got 2nd place and the first place fish was 16.4". Really makes you want to try harder!
I'll be back next year! Maybe I will see you there.

PS: Thanks BK. I owe you.
