Well Jazz you ashed me to post my results here so here goes.

It was an invitational at Moose Pond in Brighton ME. with a bass club that my friend is in,(not sure of the name of the club). I went to it last year with him and we did pretty good SO I figured what the heck I'll give it a try again this year.

My buddies ride was down so I brought mine.
We started fishing at 7:00, I caught my first and only fish at 9:30, that's right ONLY ONE fish all day.
My buddy caught his first and only fish at around 11:00, right again, ONLY ONE.
We tried everything we had to throw at then BUT nuthin worked for us.
It was very very windy day. We even tried to through out an anchor and all it did was slow us down in the blowin wind. It may have been better if I had somthin other than a mushroom anchor. I also think I have to invest in a stronger T/M other than my 50lb thrust M K.
They don't call it fishing for nothin.
