Everyone fishing the NFGFC tournament today out of Jerrys Bait and Tackle should have received a complimentary package of tube baits from Captain Mikes'.
Our boat fished these baits today with exceptional results. Our biggest fish landed was on the Captain Mikes Tube Bait.
If you have the opportunity, please ask your favorite tackle shop to provide the Captain Mikes tube bait for you.
I will continue using them. They fish really good.

Not to worry.
Anyone who fished today and did not get their free Captain Mikes tube baits will get one.
See me or TinCan at the next meeting or next tournament for your free tube baits.

How about Realtors who pay their club dues but seem to have customers every tournament Saturday?

Captain Mikes company which is most famous for outstanding red fish spoons also manufactures soft baits. Their new line of soft bait includes a tube bait. Complete with tentacles and ridges. It is a tough composite that will stand up to numerous bites. You can also insert a Fish Bites wedge into it to enhance bites.
It also works very good based on my only opportunity to fish it on last Saturday.
If given the opportunity you should give it a fair chance. It catches fish.
Ask your tackle supplier to stock it.

... and add tube-baits to my ever-growing supply of things that (allegedly in my boat) catch fish next time I'm at Jerry's.

It has more to do with how you fish. Not where you fish. If you CAN fish and YOU can read structure, you will catch fish anywhere.
Some people feel comfortable in certain areas because they can catch fish in those areas. They cannot catch fish in unfamiliar areas because they are what I call weekend fishermen.
If you are a real fisherman you can take your skills on the road and catch fish anywhere. It does not mean on a given day you will catch. It means on a given day you probably should catch.
Baits are the same way, a confidence bait catches more fish, regardless of where you fish.
The Captain Mikes tube bait caught good fish for me because, as soon as I saw it, I believed I would catch good fish with it.
I did.
Back to the structure thing. Different areas provide different types of structure. It may be rocks, bars, dropoffs', sand holes, shell bottom, sand, mud, etc. etc. Just because fish hold to a certain type of structure in one area does not mean they will hold to that type structure in another. Mostly because that type structure may not be there.
The type structure you feel comfortable fishing may not exist in another area.

If you strive to become a better fisherman in all areas, you will become a better fisherman in all areas.
