Bad day at the Classic, not what I wanted

A quick word on today. It wasn’t what I wanted. I did what I could, but it wasn’t my day. Just a bad day on the water.

When it’s 36 degrees and raining when the day starts, you know nothing’s going to come easy. But I can’t make excuses, because a lot of people caught them. Not me.

I had planned to fish for shallow bites. That was my best game plan, but my surefire places were gone today. I actually checked a few spots that would have been great two days ago, but there was nothing there today. They were just muddy holes.

Oh, well, you can’t have a great day out every day. We’ll just try again tomorrow. I’ll be swinging for the fences, as they say. I might have zero fish tomorrow, but it won’t be for lack of effort.

At least your not ice fishing. It’s been below zero here in Minnesocold.

Hopefully the weather will warm up day two.

Good luck buddy on the rest of the classic, this one might slip by you, but I know you’ll have a great year.

Nice rebound today, with a good bag. Too much of a hill to overcome from day 1. Good news, you got extra time to prepare for Florida now :)

Tough conditions for sure!! I bought one of your Carrot Stix rods at the Expo and love it….SUPER sensitive and light. I now want to get one for the shaky head. Which one of the LTX series would you recommend? I typically fish a 3/16 oz head with 8 lb flourocarbon. Thanks for the tip and good luck in Florida!
