TUBFC RESCHEDULED !

Well, got word today that the last TUBFC Tourney has been re-scheduled for Feb 21. Good choice, I measured about 7 inches of snow here today. So, tomorrow I will go back to work on the 3p-11p shift. Some of the guys talking of having a little fish-off, but I think I will save my day-off for a better day. I know the "FAT GIRLS" will probably be eating good, but I will wait. I may get to go on Feb 3rd or 4th, check back may be a new piture or two of some "FAT GIRLS". Stay warm!!

Cedar Lake today

Well ,things got off to a slow start this a.m. Had a liitle truck trouble didn't get to the Lake until 10 a.m. The fishing was also a little slow also. Joel and I only had 2 bites today. 1 over 18 in and a slot fish. The ice is gone, the water temp is around 39 degrees, water was clear up north and a little dirty down south, light winds today and overcast. Air temp was low 40's. Not the kinda day I was hoping for, but thats how the "FAT GIRLS" act sometimes.

The ice has melted. CHASING FAT GIRLS TOMORROW !!

I stopped by the Carbondale,Il Ramp to Cedar Lake today. The gate is OPEN. Also got a texted from a buddy of mine, he said the Pamona Ramp is OPEN too. SOOOO, Tomorrow, Joel and I are goin to see if the "FAT GIRLS" are hungry!! Hopefully they are starving.

Will this winter weather ever go away!!

OK, No fishing this week. Not used to this long cold snap we have been having. It has been below 32 degrees all of this New Year, according to the weatherman this a.m. The last day above freezing was 12/31/2009. So, hopefully, if the weatherman is right I should be able to get out of the house on Friday, 01/15/10. And "CHASE THEM FAT GIRLS!!"

TUBFC #4 Cedar Lake, 01/03/10

Another AWESOME day on Cedar Lake. First, I went up to Cedar Lake on New Year's Day took look around and try to figure out how to catch these under slot fish on Cedar Lake, "No Luck." Not even a bite! So today, my partner Darrell and I fished our 4th The Ultimate Bass Fishing Challenge Tourney for the Winter Div. My "Parents" and my "Wife" questioned my sanity for goin today, because of the temp. Air temp 11-21 degrees. Northerly winds around 10 mph. Sky was clear a.m. cloudy p.m. Water temp ranged from 37.1-39.3 degrees. The water clarity was better in the north end than down south. The "FAT GIRLS" were really eating today. Darrell and I caught 8 fish over the 18 in. limit, 4 in the 14-18 in slot and we still are struggling to catch those under 14in fish. We weighed in 2 fish for 10.73 lbs. We had big bass today which was a 6.31 lb beauty. All our fish were caught on jerkbaits. It took around 13 lbs to win and those guys thanked us for not catching any under size fish. A real bunch of comedians we fish against!!

We will be having our last TUBFC tourney on Jan 31st. I guess if the lake doesn't freeze over.
