Thanks to Jeff, Dan, sal and Wayne for putting on a great tourney!
Day one: hit the docks with a kut tail that worked wonders in practice...nothing on it to start sat. Row across to the other side of the slough, throw a bluegill rodstrainer spinner bait, get slammed for my first fish. Close to 3lbs. No more bites till about 5pm when I punch my 2nd fish on a beaver. Hour before 9pm, start fishing a dock In-between russo and piper. Switch color kuttails and caught a 2lber first cast. Then missed what looked like 5-6lb as it threw my worm, two pitches later catch a 4lber. Catch my fifth fish right in front of that Marina bar. 5 fish for 12.24?
Day two. Row right back to that same 'glory dock' throw a kuttail around and land my first fish. Prob 2.5. Row all the way down to the opening of the break wall and fish the other side and land a little keeper. Start working my way back, no action on the docks. 2 hours left I decided to run back to the glory dock. Catch a few rats, and think hmm only two feet deep these fish prob moved out. Start flipping the submerged weeds right outside the dock and land my third fish. Miss a few here and there. Row to the other side of Marina of that Marina bar. There's a good amount of submerged weed and start picking it apart. Catch my 4th, then catch another that went 12 7/8 inches. Painful. Starting to run out of weeds to flip and time, pitching into a clump get bit and set the hook and watched as I pulled the kuttail out of what looks like 2-3lb fish. My heart sunk. Said #### it, made a few casts then pitched under a boat that met up with the weeds. Line goes heavy, set the hook and hold on as this fish starts peeling line. I hold on praying it doesn't come undone, grab the net and bam 5lber that got me my limit and won the day for me.

Solid job!

Great job! Great report. Had a great time meeting new people and hanging out. Ok seeing the old timers, too.

Great job Max! Congrats. Solid two days days of fishing.
