Well I guess I will start.....Found some fish in a little spot Buster and I found a few years ago. They did not bite until around 10 each day.

Saturday - Hit the water at 9:30. Picked up first keeper at 10:10 and went on to catch a total of 12 keeper fish. Threw back many 2 lb fish. 57th place with 12.77

I'm BEGGING you to share that info with me.

We had a pattern Thurs, but when the rain hit, it went to chit. Never could figure them out after that. Ended up zipping both days.

And we fished from 7am to 2 pm Fri.....................in the rain.

That sucks. We fished a total of 50 mins to an hour maybe on Friday. Saturday was a little tougher because the water came up so much. What we found was that they backed off and we wacky rigged sinkos, slow rolled spinnerbaits and c- rigged the middle of the creek. None of our fish on Saturday came from the bank.

I forgot your cell number on my desk in Houston with the directions. Good luck for the LOBI

My phone got wet Fri and crapped anyway.

Well I accomplished what I set out to do...win a door prize. Woohoo!

Me and the wife zeroed the first day. We only fished a few hours on Friday but I couldn't stand to see her like that so we had to call it a day.

Went out at 8:30 on Saturday and had 2 fish until 2:25, then managed 3 keepers from then until 2:39. Caught #5 and told the wife we gosta go woman! Had 11.54#s the second day, good for 90th place on day 2. Don't know what overall was but it wasn't in top 150. Had a good time, should've seen the smile on my face when I woke up Saturday and saw that the rain had quit. Thank you Lord!

Sorry you guys didn't do any better than you did Mr. Alan. You picked a hell of a first TOBI to fish! It'll be a memorable one, I promise though this is the most miserable tournament I've fished. Hope we don't have to battle weather elements like that again.

I heard them call your name, Jarrod. What did you win?

Good job Troy. Was that "buck brush on the texas side" or back of the cove with red rattle traps?

My cousin was 4th on the first day and overall. Forgot his exact weight, I know believe he had 19.8 on the first day. Quite a feat!!!!!

Won a rod and the wife won a reel.

Yeah, that little Texas cove that we have smoked them in before except this time I smoked them on the blue herring shad spinner bait. Funny thing is I wasn't even going to fish it. I put in and headed north and after 3+ miles the weather went to sh*t so I turned around to go hide out in the cove till the weather would pass and wammy. They were stacked in there.

You know how our spot is, stacked today and not a bite for weeks. We'll see if they are still there for the LOBI.

My 5.98
