Golden State Shootout: Day 4, Sunday, Not Fishing

Well, this wasn’t what I hoped for, but I feel the same way I did yesterday.

I gave it my best shot, and I knew when the wind picked up I was going to have get a few breaks. I didn’t get the breaks and I didn’t make anything happen myself, so I’m out of this one.

Oh well, there’s another tournament coming up in a few weeks… Clarks Hill.

It’s Sunday morning and I’m just sitting around planning the rest of the day, trying to figure out whether I’m going to be able to fly out of here today. Instead of fishing, I’m spending this morning returning the phone calls that piled up on me during the week.

It’s difficult to run a business and compete on the Elite Series tour. I hope to get to the point where the tour is my full-time business. That way I could take about three or four weeks and go to Lake Amistad or out here to California and learn how to fish with these swimbaits.

But I’ll tell you this. It was a great tournament. And what a lake. I’m looking forward to coming back.
