Whew....I am glad to finally get that monkey off of my back. Finally got that first win in an ABA tournament this weekend. And it couldn't have came at a better time. We only have 2 more one day tournaments on this season before we have the district championship 2 day. I am leaving for Montgomery Alabama to attend the USAF First Sergeant Academy and would have missed both of those. This was my last chance to try to add to the 1 point points lead that I have over my good friend Mr Dean. I was able to cushion that lead to 6 points now with a first place finish at Arrowhead this weekend. Mr Dean was a little under the weather and did not fish this weekend. If I know him, when I get back from Alabama he would have passed me up and it will come down to the 2 day.
I am really hoping that this year is my year. I have decided that I am going to nationals. I just hope that I can go to Pickwick and fish at Lake Wilson for the Angler of the Year. If Mr Dean or Rob Eckle or any of the guys win lead the division I will be happy for them too, as long as they go to nationals. Only the 1st place angler gets to fish the AOY tournament and we can't send a sub if the 1st place guy decides not to go. Our director Mr Rob Eckle was awesome in the fact that he moved the division 2 day for me when I found out that I was going to be in class and would have missed it. He didn't have to move it, but he did. So for that Rob I thank you very very much.
Hopefully the fish are startign to bite all over the place by now. I know that the weather has really been tough here in North Texas. One day it is 90 degrees outside and the next it barely gets past 40. The other morning I woke up and it was 74 degrees at 6 am. The next morning it was 33. Between the unstable temps and the 20-60 MPH winds fishing has been tough and it has been a workout too! Ya'll take it easy and until next time!!!!
