Here it is the ABA Ray Scott Championship on Lake Chickamauga. If you saw my practice video you know this week of practice was tough on me. I have no idea how it all will play out. I am hoping for the best but basically have to wing it each day. Every day pretty much forced me to fish new water and was one of the most challenging events I have ever fished. Lost fish key fish on day 1 which would have given me a mega bag and lost opportunities but I kept fighting through!

The Potomac River has not been fishing to well this year. It's the fall but the water temp is still pretty high for this time of the year. I have high hopes because I don't mind a tough tournament but the weather is going to get pretty bad the day of the actual tournament. High winds means dirty water and fish that won't cooperate. We actually had day 1 cancellation of the tournament due to high winds. It was blowing and that really dirtied up my main river spot.

In this video Eric and I had a tough day due to the wind but we decided to throw some finesse baits and one of my favorite baits to throw when all else fails is the ZMan TRD BUGZ. I pair it with a Zman NedLockz Head and try to slow it down the best we can. We were fishing fairly shallow water 4-8 feet and it had some stain to it. We ended up putting together a pretty decent 5 fish limit just over the 20 pound mark.

In this video I am back out on Lake Erie getting ready for the FLW Costa Series stop number 2 out of Buffalo, NY. I had a good finish during the previous event and would love to have a shot at angler of the year. Last year I ended up in 2nd in points and almost made the top spot. So in order to do that I need to get on some fish. It has been a difficult practice. I assumed that the fish would be deeper this time of year and that by now they should really be in there off shore areas and places with good history would be the deal. I spend a lot of time many many miles from take off hoping to run into some giant smallmouth. Well that wasn't the case for me this week. I had a decent practice with Dean the previous day and we found a small area that could have some potential. That was the plan, but once I found these fish today I decided to start the tournament here! I found the smallies grouped up pretty good, most fish I am catching are 4 pound fish or bigger. There is a 25-26 pound bag of fish where I am. I just have to hope the conditions are right and not a lot of boat pressure. I am feeling confident at this point and can't wait for the tournament to start!

In this video I head back to Wisconsin to fish the Wisco Team Event. This event is unique because normally the Wisco Series Tournament is a single event. This one is special because it is the first time they have a team event and I am brining my good buddy JP along to experience this great fishery.
This tournament was a memorial tournament for Chad Adrians. Chad passed away recently and so Wisco teamed up with his family to put this all together. I remember my early years of bass fishing and really looking up to Chad and his partner Caleb. These two pretty much dominated any bass tournament on the Bay of Green Bay. I always looked up to both of these anglers and have great respect for what they accomplished on the Bay.
JP was super excited he doesn't get the chance to leave NY and fish in other parts of the country so he jumped on the idea of making the trip out there.
We had a very successful practice and was looking forward to Day 1! Unfortunately due to a rules violation in practice another competitor decided to protest us and get us disqualified. We learned about this during the eve of the event. The rules state you are not allowed to use a platform that is elevated above the gunnel of the boat. We used a step ladder in practice and I was not aware that we could not use it in the official practice day of the event. Lesson learned!
The Reel Shot is where I recommend you purchase your tackle!

In this video I actually end up chasing some stripers on the Susquehanna Flats. I originally went out targeting Largemouth Bass but the tide just wasn't right at the time for what I wanted to do. Instead I wonder out on the flats and head for the big group of tuna boats! I knew anglers fished for stripers here on the Chesapeake Bay this time of year and that they can get on some striped bass pretty good at times. I decided to see what the fuss was all about and if I could catch a few of these hard fighting fish! It didn't take long to start catching them and even though these were not the giants I was hoping for it was still a good time. I primary used a rattle trap (lipless crankbait) and a jerkbait. They liked both and I caught stripers on both the lipless bait and the jerkabit but the jerkbait was just a lot of fun to throw. I used a Lucky Craft Pointer 128 and aggressively jerked back to the boat and boy did it work great!
It was pretty addicting as it turns out I spend the majority of the day out there chasing those fish. Most of the stripers were up on the flats in about 3-4 feet of water. Water temps were in the high 50's and the fish seemed to be pretty active. I will definitely head out there again!
