Valentines trip

[hillbillyflyshack]

The wife and I came down for a couple of days fishing and relaxation for Valentines day and had a great time thanks to the Lilleys crew. When we got out to fish we trolled crankbaits with moderate success with three well over a pound and one pushing two. We fished from dam to dam and did not seem to matter it was one here and one there and never had a double. Hope I do better in the Elfrink tournament but confidence is not real high right now.

Three "well over a pound" and one pushing two pounds wouldn't be anything discouraging. Add four of the fat 12" fish that have been pretty common from the Landing to Fall Creek, and it wouldn't be a bad bag to weigh.

Unless Greg and his partner hit the trifecta with another huge Brown!

It only took like 7.5# last year to win the Elfrink. Four fish over a pound with one pushing 2# would be a pretty good start!

I've already decided that I will dedicate the first few hours to trolling next weekend. It may not produce a fish, but when you only have four spots paying out and with the rate that the kicker browns have been coming in each tournament, it is hard not to try it. It's hard to beat guys that have one fish that weighs as much as a lot of peoples 8 fish.

I have fished that tournament a bunch of times but never did very well but would not be too ashamed to have those fish in my bag although I figure it will take more than that to win it. By the way Seth I believe you are right about trying for a big brown but the only time I catch them are on sunday. Anyway good luck and will see you next saturday.
