Well...after my partner didn't show.... I off loaded the anchors and launched anyway. The weather may not have been the best, but made it out of the lighthouse canal with no trouble. Didn't see any of the other tournament anglers, rounded the lighthouse and headed east. There was a light chop on the surface but just buttoned up and skated across the tops to where I wanted to fish. Tried some jerk baits over some of my secret holes, but couldn't get them to the depth I needed so had to resort to mostly top water. Eased my rig up into some of the creeks that I'd never been able to get to before but the fish just didn't seem to be there. Fished until time for the weigh in and headed back to Jerry's. No one there... came in first by default... Can't wait till next time. Did get one picture before the camera shutter froze...must a been the salt spray.
"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".
