Thanks a bunch guys here is my report from the tourney.

Well what can I say, I love draggin fer dem spotted bass!!! LOL

Thanks Mr. Lake for letting me partner up with you for the tournament it was a fun weekend.

On Friday Lake and I got going to Oroville and it seemed the closer we got the higher the temperature rose. When we finally arrived at the campground it was a pleasant 110 degrees. We set up camp and ate hot links mmmm they were real good.

Saturday morning we said forget camping the next night and broke down camp before we got on the water. During prefish Lake and I fished spooks and vixens all morning and just slammed the fish one after another. I finally stuck a good one I guess, cause Lake was like hey dude that one is over the slot, however it still wasn’t very exciting to catch a 2lbs fish. We did get some absolutely vicious bites on the spooks, which was cool to watch, when a spot wanted that thing it straight up killed it. I decided I better get ready to possibly draw a worm dragger so I started to play around with a few different senkos and worms to find something that I could catch fish on. I found it in the senko I was tossing it wacky and just fishing it on a slack line and checking for a fish occasionally. John was giving me crap for being a plastic dragger and such but I’m glad I took the time to get some confidence in a bait and color. We got off the water and went and got a hotel room Air Conditioning and Korean BBQ was the best part of the rest of the day.

On Sunday we showed up to the ramp early in the morning for the draw and meeting. I got a great draw, I would be fishing with Sieg Taylor. He had some fish going way up the lake and he brought a little bit smaller aluminum G3 boat so it took us awhile to get there, but once we started fishing the fun began. I started off throwing a spook and immediately started getting some bites and was able to put a few keepers in the boat pretty quickly. We bounced around a few spots as we went on our way to our main spot for the day. Once we got to Sieg’s spot we started to slow down and that’s when the fishing got a little exciting well as exciting as spotted bass fishing gets. I was just throwing a little senko on 6lbs test and letting the thing slowly fall next to some big bluff walls. I got into the fish pretty good and about half way through the day I sat down to eat something real quick and Sieg looked back and I said oh I’m just grabbing a quick bite to eat then I’ll get back to fishing and he responded yeah its all good you have this thing won, I didn’t believe him as I only thought I’d have around 9lbs, but it ended up holding. I learned my lesson by not getting in the option money, but I’m fine with that it was my first time at Oroville and I didn’t think I’d have a shot. I weighed in 9.64 with a big fish about 2.2 so just a bunch of decent spotted bass. Thanks to the region 3 tourney director Mark Langer for conducting the tournament and big thanks to Mr. No Sweat Mist Sieg Taylor for being an awesome guy to fish with. He made sure I had room to cast even though we were trying to stay close to the bank and was just an all around cool guy to fish with.

Oh Lake, dragging for spots rocks!!!! LMFAO
