Noxson Res. in Montana is full of Bass also. Watch out for those pesky Pike and Brown Trout.

Looks like a beautiful day on the water! Man they got the res. down. I hope that there is enough snow in the mountain to fill it back up. If that boy keeps growing Luv he is going to be able to woop you pretty soon. Glad you guys had a great day. LIL

thanks. i don't know how good things will be. after a couple days of perfect weather, a front moved in last night and the forecast for tomorrow is wind 16-21 with gusts up to 29 and a chance of snow. hopefully we can find someplace on the lake where the wind isn't too bad.

the wind was horrible and so was the fishing. i only caught one fish and it weighed in at 1.15 pounds. only one person turned in five fish. our next tourney is at anderson. hopefully the weather will be better.

Trophy: Are these club tourneys or one of the local circuits?

Mom: Who are you fishing with? If he knew Luke's dad then I probably know him also. PM me if you want.

these are club tourneys, so they're pretty small with a major emphasis on having a good time.

Try dropshotting 3.5" finesse worms. I'd fish points. I can't tell you all my secrets...

Excellent. Being in a club is the best way to learn the sport. I was with the Puyallup Hawg Hunters for 17 years.
