Arrived @ 12:30am to an armada of anglers awaiting for the gate to open on the fallin fire fighters tourney. By 4:30am the line was long, and from a head count, 600 anglers particpated in the event.

Lauched the float tube in the boat docks area, fish boiling when I hit the water, but what I thought were trout, ended up being carp. :evil: Moved into more of the boat docks for nothing but line snagging weeds :evil: Moved along the west shore for 1 small rat, so moved farther down the west shore near sandy beach; watched one guy for a 6lb'er or so, and another beginner let the appear to be large fish take him into the toolies, which then broke off :roll: Went for 2 more rats, and decided to head for the flats; trolled all the way to the flats for nothing, and according to a guy who had a meter, he indicated "no fish schooling the area". :x Moved back to the west shore and watched one guy almost fall in from standing up for another 5-6lber. This was the sensus unless you were in Sierra Cove, as the bite seemed to be better there.

Today was like a flat line on a heart monitor, Code Blue in E.R., flat line on the fish finders :evil: Heard one guy on a float tube even try to split a deal with a guy on a boat to weigh in a 5-6lber :evil:

BanginBob's rating: Blank! Blank!

3 rats caught for the tourney, not even worth checking in

[Wahoo!]

Thanks for the report BanginBob. You'll get them next time.

BanginBob on the wire:

This is correct,

I am a senior prostaff member of eagleclaw. I enjoy the sport, and rather in the past of showing my kitchen or my garage, I figured some background scene would be nice

Hey Bob,
How did you become a pro staff member? I doubt you just sent in a resume, or am I wrong? Just curious since I too love the sport.

BanginBob on the wire:

I have been posting on other sites for years now, and also promoted some fish tourneys this season; I have been consistant on the bite for sometime now, showing picutres of my catch, and lloyds mixed in over the 10lb mark; I have also a different style of writing which has drawn attention on other boards, which some like, and some hate; so one thing to another, and I have also devoted more time than fishing to doing trade shows, and marketing different products of the fishing industry. This season has been less fishing, and more promoting events; not complaining though, as I have had a blast putting events together and strengthing the urban sport of trout fishing
