Detroit River/Lake St. Clair
WOW!!!! what an awsome fishery Lake St.Clair is, my favorite place to fish smallmouth was Lake Erie but now it is Lake St. Clair. With every cast a three pounder appears and let me tell you these fish just dont give up even in the net you grab them by the lip and they would clamp down on your thumb and begin thrashing again. Had a good three days of practice and located big fish in multiple locations tournament starts and a monsoon hit with high winds and made it hard to stay on any spot but managed to weigh just over 18lbs day two rain stops and wind gets harder was not able to duplicate the weight and ended the tournament with 35.02lbs and in 32nd place wich was good enough for a nice check not bad for my first time on this body of water.
I must mention my roomate second tournamet ever for him ( Mark Babcock ) he practiced with me and learned how to properly dropshot in two days and perfected it. On day one he weighed in just over 9lbs in 80th plce but the weights were so close I told him with a good day two he would be right in it so on day two he weighed in over 15lbs with 3 fish and landed in 5th place for day three on day three he did well and ended the tournament in 4th place great job Mark.
