Lake Hartwell Tournament Recap

This week was really frustrating for me and it seemed like I could never get my timing down.  It really hurts to have a tournament like this but I have come to realize that you must put it behind you and make up for it at the next one.  I ended up putting it together a bit on the second day and salvaging some very valuable points.  I finished 99th after only catching 6 lbs the first day.

The fish that I caught this week were eating my Jackall Aska and a Dirty Jig with a Chigger Craw on the back. The jig is a new color that will be available very soon.  (Hematoma and Magic Craw Red).

I am looking forward to Table Rock,  my favorite lake on the tour!   

Thanks to all my sponsors and it is almost time to put those Typhoon Polarized Optics to good use.

Hartwell Practice Update

Practice is now over and I have been getting all my tackle ready.  It seems to be not so good for me because I have 15 rods rigged and ready.  


This week we  have not had the best of conditions so I think who ever wins will actually find a lot of their fish during the tournament.  I had two decent days and one really bad day; so I am really optimistic about the tournament and am ready to get it started.   


I had a really great time helping the Homes of Hope people out today.   Everyone check out their website.  They have a really great thing going on.  www.homesofhope.org.
