I totally forgot about the ProTeen tourney launching out of Russo's. Saturday I did okay flipping down the bank across from there down to the opening in the wall. I planned to do the same on Sunday but stopped on the point across from the Rusty Porthole and worked it for a bit then up the channel towards Frank's but not very far. When I got back around the corner, there were about 80 boats waiting to blast off. At least half of them were right against the tules for about 200 yards where I was catching them the day before. Rather than trying to get through all those boats, I turned around and fished the other way. I did get a 3lber right across from Beacon but that was it for the day. I felt like I really screwed up by not getting past Russo's before the flotilla o' bass boats showed up. I did win an Okuma crankin' rod at the raffle and my lucky number 33 was drawn for the Outcast kickboat so it wasn't too bad of a weekend. :7 Congrats to Rob for kicking our butts and I'll get my money ready to give him at Rancho Seco.
