Getting Spanked By Lake Singletary
We showed up at the boat launch at 6:15 eager and ready to go with high ambitions for victory. We launched, and the go was given and we were off...
The next 8 hours, we did not catch a single keeper!! We tried throwing everything at them... topwater, spoons, soft baits, jigs, swimbaits... EVERYTHING. For our first tournament, we were a little demoralized.
We had one nice fish (estimated 2.5 lbs.), but lost it at the side of the boat. After that, we knew it just wasn't our day.
I did land a giant pickerel on a spoon... a monster. So the day wasn't a complete loss. Too bad it didn't count for the tournament. :-( Everything else we caught that day was less than 12 inches.
It was tough to roll a donut on our very first tournament, but we can only go up from here I suppose.
Oh well, "A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work."
