I can only speak for you Dad and myself, but I must have cursed us. We caught 6 fish between 8 and 9 in the morning. When I put my 4th clone in the box your Dad asked if I was going to put a culling pin in any of them. Out of character for me I confidently stated that I would put my culling rings in when I got my limit (kiss of death) Your Dad got one more keeper late in the day and that was it. I thought we were going to hammer them the way it had started  |

Good day on Champlain huh? What was the matter? Another day of 6 to 11 inch fish for me  It felt like Bomo all over again. I fished all the spots you and I fished plus a few more. It just wasn't happening for me. |

It was definitely tough. Brian and I started south of Otter Creek on an offshore shoal with deepwater all around but tops out fairly shallow with some of the nicest looking green weeds imaginable. We fished it for a couple hours, and I expected to get a few nice bass there, as I've got them there before, but all I managed was this guy on a Rapala DT10 off the deep weed edge...  After that we ran to about 6 other spots and tried everything, shallow, deep, rock, wood, weeds, fast, slow, topwater, plastics and by 1:30pm we had zero fish in the livewell. We eventually ended up in a spot Jody and I fished last year. The fish were there, but very uncooperative. If Brian and I had landed every fish we hooked, we each would have weighed in a limit over 10-lbs, but as it was, I only managed two and Brian zeroed. The fish were in VERY shallow water (about 1-foot or less) and hanging in some extremely tough vegetation. You had a split second to swing on a bite, and when they turned, they had both vertical stiff cover and lots of horizontal overhead cover to wrap your line around and get leverage to pull off. They were very successful. We were not. My two fish:  |

I'm glad you won Brock. Stick with the drop shot!
We tried so many different things and when we finally get into some, I couldn't hook them. Still a good time though.
I think it was Brock's shirt. He wouldn't give me mine until the end of the day. Now I know why!
