AREA REPORTS?

[Fish Slayer]

Just wondering what the reports are since opener on our area lakes? Ive been doing fairly well on eyes on Irving with leeches or shiners. I havent gotten a chance to venture anywhere else yet this year, Im just to busy .

Fishing is awesome!!! Fished the Eagles tournament on Sat and had our limit by 9:30. Caught fish shallow (5ft) with a jig and minnow. Caught fish on the breaks 10-20ft with live bait rigs and minnows. Just about all of the 75 teams had limits. It took 18lbs to win and 15 to get in the money. That's how good fishing was. Much better than the weather I might add.

Chris, how did you guys end up??

I got a call from Phelp's who ended up 5th, so congrats to them! Also congrats to Tracy Pogue and Keith Dahl on the win!!

I don't even know where we ended up. We had 12 lbs.

Hey Chris, all ya needed was a big one to be in the $$$, at least ya competed

[Matt Breuer]

Did you fish big drift? How did you end up?

12 lbs. is a good bag! big drift is right, if you would've had a nice kicker you would've been right up there!

Matt,

I fished on Sat. but with 3 kids in the boat on Plantan then Irving, but I am all signed up for the blue moon in June. 4th year now. One of the best ways to learn how to catch them.

When are you planning on fishing in one of the tourney's? It would be interesting to watch and see where ya place.

All I can catch is dinks except for prefishing. But this year I think we have our equipment problems fixed. After all I can't keep letting Chris take all the checks every year.

I fished the Kraus last year, and will again this year, and have fished some smaller tourney's through the years. This is always my busiest weekend, so the Eagles is out. Plus neither myself or my partner drink, so it's tough to pay for a membership to a bar...

I too was on Irving on Sat. I had clients out. Man was it chilly!! Fishing was great though!!

Chris can keep getting the checks! Husbands and wives who can compete together for that long and still come to shore with smiles deserve a check...
