St. Joe Boat Club Open
Had a great day on the Ohio River, caught alot of keeper fish with my best five going over 15lbs had two over 4 one at 3lbs and two around 2lbs. I locked down river to a creek and ran all the way up to the rapids and just wacked a lot of smallies sitting in the swift cerrents on a 5.8" flick shake texas rigged with a 1/16oz weight. Those fish would wait for it to stop and then pounce on it, such a fun day. The plan was to all meet back at the lock at 1:45 to be back at the scales by 3:00 so I got back to the lock at 1:30 and didn"t get into the lock until 3:00 so I was DQ'ed for not making it to the 3:00 check in got back at 3:25. There was a medical emergancy at the lock I found out later that the lock master had a heart attack. The worst part of all that was the winning weight was 12lbs with a lunker of 3lbs. So I lost out of the check for first place and a check for lunker. The chances we take as anglers that sometimes don't work out.
