Tough bite is right! I got more bites from mosquitos than from fish!
I had only been there once before for last year's tourney and caught just one keeper so I had no game plan. The tide was bad, the wind was bad, everything was just bad. I tossed Senkos, zipper worms, and did some cranking for the first 2+ hours for nada. Finally wised up and put on a brush hog and got a good bite on the edge of some hyacinth but didn't hook up. x( Half an hour later got a squeaker off some wood on the brush hog. Pulled into Turtle Cove and found some good looking water right next to a sailboat anchored in there. Within the next 100 yards or so I caught a 12 incher, another squeaker, a 7 incher, a monster 14 incher and missed 2 other bites on the hog. That action all happened between 6:00 and 6:30. Nothing else after that. I was bummed to have struggled so hard but apparently so did everybody else. I'll take second place any day but it felt kinda funny to do it with three little fish for 3-7. Congrats to Mike for kicking our butts again and to John for 3rd place. I hope we never have a tournament like that again!
