    First time in 3 years....

    I did not catch one fish in a tournament. I fished with everything I could think of...yet, not one nipple.
    Driving home, I was even wondering if fishing is fun anymore. The heat, the humidity was terrible and dealing with jet skis doing circles around me it seemed all day.
    I'm in a rut too, dealing with mostly small fish being caught and now the summer coming on and more pontoon boat, jet skis and those dreaded wake boats.

    I'd hate it if there wasn't one nipple to be found either

    Hang in there. Generally as the summer heat kicks in, nipples are easier to locate.

    I've found cold actually brings them up. Maybe he hasn't found them yet.

    I’m going to Destin in June and if I don’t catch a glimpse of a stray nipple or two I’m going to be pissed.

    That sucks. Where there's one there's usually a second.

    Nipples go hand and hand with motorboating.
