Hey All,

First I'd like to thank the guys running the event Mitch, Steve and Rob, every one who placed and all the new and old faces that came to play.

I think that was the windiest day for me in a kickboat, the main lake was so windy I could only get a foot per row into the wind and had waves come over my tunes a few times. I saw bass boats attempt the windy main lake and then quickly retreat back towards capell. Wind made feeling and controlling my bait difficult and kept me off and out of places I would have rather fished.

It was a mild morning and I quickly shed my down jacket and gloves. the morning sky seemed to be clear, the water temp was around 53 and the visability was 1-3ft. Mitch called time and I started out towards the main lake. My first stop was a rocky point that stepped down to 30ft rather quickly I caught 2 off of it and bhung around for about an hour. on my way over I noticed that there were only a couple of boats heading out and felt some comfort in that, knowing I would have most of the area to myself. I saw Scott Bernardo kicking up the rocky bank on the Steele park peninsula, he warned me that it was windy out there and I jokingly hollered back that I'm going out where the real men fish. I came around the point and saw Nick fishing a crank and asked if I could fish the other side of the point. He said yea and I picked up my 3rd on a jig. I saw Scott coming around the corner and they made a move to east. A little later I got what seemed like a good bite but lost it when I checked if it was a rock or noT, that's how I could tell it was a good fish cause it didn't move, I just had a poor hookset and that fish would haunt me the rest of the day. I hopped over to the other point and got bites, the kind that feel like the fish are hitting it I missed a bunch of them, I'd wait tap tap tap go to swing and nothing was there it was frustrating. I went towards the old Spanish flat launch for a couple more fish before I headed back to weigh in, luckily the wind was to my back and it was an easy row. I though that for sure guys would be killin the smallies back closer to the ramp. Got back to weigh in and started to hear that the weights had been low and was able to hold on by a thread for the W. Thx guys see you at salt springs.
