WBT

Dardanelle was tough. Short fish seemed to be the story of the tournament. I didn't get on the water until Tuesday and it rained all day Wednesday, so I only got one good day of practice in. I (like many of the ladies) caught a lot of fish during the tournament. Only one of them was long enough on day one. Day two was a little better. I had a nice keeper by 8:00 and caught lots of (barely) short fish all day. At about 2pm, I moved to my second spot and caught two more keepers within 10 minutes. In hindsight, I should have gone there earlier. One more keeper would have landed me in the top 6. I won $1,300.

Although I finished 61st at Lake Lewisville (the second stop on the Women's Bassmaster Tour), I am still in the top 50. I'm currently 32nd in the standings. Lake Norman is next in July. I'm looking forward to figuring that lake out!

I was very happy with my performance at the first WBT event. I had never fished that lake before and figured out a strong pattern over 3 days of practice. I finished 22nd out of 103 boats and won $800.

Since I was in Arkansas, fishing the WBT event, my brother substituted for me again. Looks like I was lucky. The wind made the ride back miserable for everybody. The cover on my brother's outboard was knocked loose and everybody at the weigh-in was talking about how bad the ride was. The guys weighed in a nice bag- over 11 pounds.

It looks like consistency is more important than I thought. We finished 31st and moved UP in the standings. We're in 5th now with one more tournament to go for the year. We caught a limit, but we weren't able to pick up any good ones.

Although we brought in a small limit, we were able to maintain our place in the standings. Only 2 more tournaments left in this tour.

We caught 5 fish, but couldn't get any good ones. We got bumped down to 9th place in the standings.

On Sunday, June 25th, I fished a singles tournament. I won $325 for 1st place and big fish. I made it into the local paper - http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2006/062006/06292006/202082
