Stockton Friday Nighter 5-20-16

One word......TOUGH. Had 37 boats show for the first event of the season and i believe 13+ won the tournament with about 10 lbs drawing a check, paid 7 places. Very few big fish to be found but numbers were not an issue. Fish could be caught everywhere on whatever you wanted. I caught fish from 1 fow to 20. We fished from maze to orleans boat ramp. My High school partner threw a jig all night and I stuck to a carolina rig brush hog. WT was 68 about everywhere. Like I said, tough for all but great night to be out of the house. WATERPOSSUM, great to see you again.

Likewise SMBASSER. What a beautiful night to be on the water. First time bass fishing at night for my partner. We fished from Turkey creek back to the weigh in site. We caught fish on watermelon brush hogs and spinner baits. The size should get a lot better by the next time out. I hope they eventually fix the light on the boat ramp. I believe it was out last year. P.S. My winnings are still swimming around with three brush hogs in their mouths.

My HS kid caught most of the fish and we were lucky enough to cash a check, 5th i believe.  Its incredible the opportunities these kids have now a days with most tournament guys being tight lipped

You, Rodney and I'm sure a host of people are helping give the boy opportunities that a lot of kids would like to have. Thanks.

Yep a lot of parents and  faculty go along way for the young men 

so proud of them  .... Proud they get the opportunities ...  Proud of people that teach them wisely 

I have several rods and reels to give  to some of these young men that may be not able to compete for lack of equipment 

Young men grow  and learn good and bad habits from adults they hang around 

these young men eventually replace us old men !  So proud of them !
