This is my first post to the Tournament talk forum. I don't usually see alot about bass tournaments, so I thought I would start to share how we have been doing in ours. We fished our fourth tournament for the year on Saturday at Lake Sarah. It was an awesome day for a tournament and the bags weighed in showed it. Our winning weight was 20lbs, 9oz. We had a total of 9 bags that were over 15lbs, and five of those were over 17lbs. Not bad for 5 fish limits. Our piggy of the day was a 5lb, 4oz Lake Sarah sweetie. Pictures of the top two catches can be seen at bassmanfishing.com I am going to try to start posting some of the pics here, but first I have to figure out how.

Paul and David Sladek with 20lbs, 9oz.
2nd%20Place%206-26-04.jpg
Luke Christensen and Todd Seeger with 19lbs, 3oz & Big Bass 5lbs, 4oz.
Good Fishing to all, and to all a good fight!

Thanks Matt

I've worked hard at it for years, as I'm sure that most guys on this site have. Days like that are not to frequent, so we should all cherish them. It takes a certain amount of skill to catch fish, but to catch 9 fish in one day that weigh over 5lbs, is takes quite a bit of luck as well. We also caught 14 that were over 4lbs, and the number of twos and threes I lost count of. The Bass God shined on us Sunday.
Thanks for the compliment.

Great PIC's Tom! I am on the water 4 days a week and the Bass Gods have been in my corner once or twice but never like that!

I have club tourney on Sara in a couple of weeks. Can you give any pointers? ...Not asking for spots...just pointers. Deep? Slop? Slow? Cranks? etc?

If you dont care to post the pointers, alternatively I can be emailed @ tubejigger@hotmail


Thanks!

Tube,
We caught all of our fish on the outside weedlines in about 3-5ft of water. We were fishing soft plastics texas rigged and fishing super slow. Everyone fished pretty slow, but there was also a good frog bite that morning. The guys that won fished in water 10-14 ft deep. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fished water the same as we did. the top 5 teams were all 17lbs plus. Good luck
The only hint I can give you is fish the ends or the middle.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
