I fished a BAF tournament out of Echo Bay on Saturday.
We fished up to Overton, then went down to Temple bar, and back to Echo to finish the day. We had a rough bass day out there. For some reason, we couldn't put a limit together. We ended up with three keepers for the day. Dammmmit.
BUT, we killed the stripers. I was tossing a spinnerbait, and the guy i was fishing with was throwing a tube, and we were both nailing stripers left and right. All the striper action was up in the muddy water of Overton. It sucks when you are fishing for LMB and SMB and you get nailed with a freight train, but it ends up being a striper.
They were all quality fish, too. Most went over 2lbs, and one striper came up to the boat and nailed my partners spinnertbait so hard it broke his line. Fish must have been over 10lbs easy.
Winning weight for the day was 15.5lbs. Closest competitor was 2lbs short, and we ended up with a measly 5.5lbs. OUCH.
Til next time, when I say I am gonna win. Again.
