I still believe that a tough day fishing beats any day at work and the anglers at the New Hogan tournament found the fishing to be a bit on the tough side. Catching fish was no problem for most it was catching the 2 pounders that proved challenging. While anglers reported a decent topwater bite firs...

The tournament for Saturday the 8th is cancelled. Due to the lake coming up 10 feet over night all of the launch ramps are submerged and the docks are pulled out of the water.

The tournament was called off because of the weather. With a single lane launch that had 3 footers breaking in on it and a dock that looked liked an e-ticket ride at Disneyland I decided that it was in the best interest of all the anglers to call it off.

I knew it was going to eventually happen. I hit a rock while idling out of a cove and it took a chunk out of the leading edge of the skeg.
