Well, the clock seems to have slowed a bit. Kind of like for a kid on Christmas eve! Sunday afternoon I load the car and head out for Bull Shoals and the TBF national championship. Heard the fish are already moving up onto beds which I kind of predicted months ago if the weather warmed early, which it has. That's perfect for my style of fishing! Anyone that has ever been in the boat with me during a bed bite knows that if I can see 'em, I can catch 'em! And I tend to be able to see them easier than most folks.
It will also take the A-rig out of the equation almost entirely!
But only 7 1/2 hrs to find all my fish will be tough. There are some seriously good sticks showing up this year and predictions are we will break records for weight in the championship. I plan on doing my part towards that record.
I will attempt to update you all each night once I get there. As in the past, I won't be able to get too detailed about my patterns until the event is over, in case someone else is monitoring. Don't need to show my cards too soon!
Here's hoping that I'm hoisting that "Living the Dream" trophy over my head on stage a week from Saturday.
