First, I would like to say thanks for all who attended the last BNT tournament of the year. Camping like always a good time to hang out and share stories along with food and spirits. You guys are great! As far as the fishing goes, well this is another story.

Question: Why does Mother Nature always
play a major roll when BNT is scheduled to fish?

Congratulations Gordon on the win and big fish honors. You showed smooth character under most to be of harsh weather conditions.

I started off tossing a 9”Slammer for the first thirty minutes with no blow ups. Working my way towards the Northern top part of the dam. Switch to a 6”MegaBaits soft plastic trout diving swimbait. About my fourth cast I got bumped. I Quickly tossed back in with a Texas rigged 6” Purple Yamomoto long grub and set up on my first, small keeper. Notice Gordon in his Kayak also battling a catch near and around the dam. I down sized to a Lucky Craft Pointer 78 Minnow. Hooked into another small keeper along with three undersize dinks. Went back through the area tossing a purple worm/long grub. Picking up two more undersize dinks. Worked hard through out the day catching a handful of smaller dinks. Only to pick up another small keeper dragging a 6” straight tail purple with red flake finesses worm in twenty-five feet of water. Conditions tuff, but for the most part what I prefer on game day.
