WINDY WINDY WINDY WINDY

Fished the Va bass federation nation Junior state qualifier today out of parkway marina and it just plain sucked practice day warm little bit of rain some slight promise for fish and then tournament day wake up air temp is 35 degrees and there is about a 20 mph wind constantly blowing with massive gusts that ended up making a kid fall in the 45 degree water (he's ok changed clothes and even saw him back out on the water ) because of lake conditions we were confined to Parkway marina and about 800 yds there were 14 boats with 28 anglers. With that many boats and such little protected space we were packed like sardines in the two protected coves I threw an A-rig 90% of the time and had a bass that was probably about 5 pounds follow the rig all the way to the boat. Once he saw me he was gone though. Out of all 28 anglers there were only three fish brought in I was not one of the ones who caught one lol. O ya forgot to mention it was snowing off and on the whole time we were out there, I just don't get this weather. Anyone else out on SML have any better luck today?

Used to live in that area. SML is a BIG lake when the wind is blowing. I know why they restricted the area you could fish. Better luck next time, it looks like the weather is getting ready to break. The dogwoods will be blooming in no time.

Better luck next time! Everyone has to hop aboard the suck truck every now and again. At least you weren't the only passenger. That sounds like pretty tough conditions too.

I wouldn't be very happy being limited to a small portion of the lake... it sounds like you guys got screwed by the tournament directors... I guess it was the junior qualifier though, if someone got hurt it would probably look bad on the tournament officials... Probably should have just rescheduled...

I know what you mean a lot of us were saying that we should have rescheduled it
