2nd place at shoal lake

For those of you that follow my blog on here, my apologies for not updating my site for the past couple week.  I had my appendix removed the third week in June so I was down for a while and did not have a lot to report. 

Chris Savage and I took 2nd place at Shoal Lake this past weekend.  We were actually leading after day one with 16.73.  We brought in 16.36 on day two for a two day total of 33.09 pounds and came up a little bit short of Ted and Louise Stewner who had a two day total of 33.38 pounds to earn them $12,000. 

We weighed in 10 smallmouths over the weekend and caught them on a variety of baits.  We spent a lot of time throwing jerkbaits and caught a number of fish on #10 Rapala X-Raps and Maxx Raps.  We used the jerkbaits to cover water and find fish.  Once we found fish we pitched pearl Northland Slurpies Grubs to them rigged on an 1/8 oz. Slurp Jig.  All the fish we caught were spitting up smelt so we used baits to imitate the slender baitfish. 

We spent a few hours each day largemouth fishing and that was our downfall.  Usually they help us out but we could not get them going and wasted a fair amount of time chasing them.  Oh well...we'll get them at KBI in a month.
