August 12
After a long month of July, August started with a bang. I again ventured East with Mike "Big Cobra" Elkins to hit the blue waters of St. Clair, in search of
quality fish for the BFL August 9th. Practice was mediocre, leaving many options, and no real answers. The river bite just wasn't ready, though a solid limit
could be had. The big fish seemed to still be lurking in the lake, eluding most anglers. I was however diligent on my new mission of cleaning up the river. I
found this nice little mess somewhere around the South Channel. I'm doing my part to keep America clean, I threw it back in Canada. Just kidding, it's still
stinking up the cooler on my boat.
I drew George Plevarkis from Avon Lake, Ohio as my boater, and looked forward to getting back to a lake where I had a lot of confidence. We started the
day fishing for suspended fish in 12 or so feet, and the bite was slow. George managed a couple early, but as the clock ticked closer to 10am I began to get
anxious for my first bite. Noticing that most of Georges fish hit on slack, I switched to the lightest head I had, and went to a perch colored tube. Immediately I
hooked a fish over 6lbs, and just as quickly lost him next to the boat. Before the disappointment sat in, I dropped back down and hooked a solid 5lb smallie
and was able to get it in. That would conclude my lake fishing for the day.
With our livewells looking empty, we headed into the river to fish for a limit. After struggling through some largies, and very few bites, I had made it to 4 fish.
Knowing that I needed a limit to have any chance in the points race for the year, I persuaded my boater to head to some familiar water on the way in.
Fortunately, he obliged, and we finished on a spot that has always been good to me. We were both able to fill our limits. After weigh-in, the disappointment
of that first fish began to settle in. So far this year, I have been able to make the best of my opportunities, and cash in on being sharp. Losing that first fish
cost me a tournament win at St. Clair, and although I moved into 7th for the season, it left me a long ways from the leader.
However, I'm moving on, and will certainly use the lesson in the future. Next up is the Detroit River, followed by the BAU's on St. Clair and the Skeeter
Owners Northern Event.
So as the year begins to wrap up, I will be hustling to keep up with the final events. If you are interested in booking a date for fishing with Angling Edge in
2009, get your calendars out now, because it's the best time to get the dates you want.
That's a wrap up for now, we'll see you in Detroit.
