High rising water, rain & cold temperatures made for a Challenging day. Had a great partner in Willie. Caught one largemouth bass at 3-13  great start to the year ! Finished=14TH

High water & colder tems made for a tough bite. Did learn a lot more about Cherokee lake so not all negative & White Pine Marine tournaments are very well run & managed, looking forward to fishing more of them. No bites today unfortunately. But always a good day when fishing with Mr Wicked Webb.

Finished=70th

They rescheduled Cumberland because of the high water. They flip flopped dates.Water was still high & muddy & weather was cold enough to have ice forming in my rod guides in the morning. Did have a great boater in Marcus he found fish the previous day but they had moved because the drop in temps. Tried jig, spinnerbait & squarebill to no avail. Still learned a lot & my boater caught a decent keeper still 27th in points for the year.

Fished with Mr Steven had a great day early with two keepers. Sunny & very windy trolling motor died so ended up coming in early. Did see five 6 lbs bass come to the scales. Neat event looking forward to the next one. We had 2 bass for 3.14 but made valuable points.Finished=43rd
