really then I'll drive Priscilla down to your weigh in ;D

the winning bag was caught by Glen Christianson, Big Daddys brother. Both first and second place were fishing cover that everyone saw last year when the water level was low. Dillinger and Keller jumped around to a couple of times. My partner and I finished with 4 fish for a bit over 6 Lbs. We fished deep most of the day catching small fish with the occasional keeper. Shakey and drop shot. We tried to flip some up later in the day with very poor results. Had some fish hooked up that felt decient but came unbuttoned. Matt, you need to pay attention to the bait this time of year. Keep an eye on where they are in relation to creek mouths. Let me know if you want to get after them sometime. If you can get a day off during the week before the classic I'm gonna be practicing a couple days and would be willing to show you some places.

                But can you beat my boy Gerkin????

I've had some success on the res.  Dan has had much more success on the res.  If you talk to Dan, ask him about the whoopin' he and Mike Fisher took when we fished hunting run the second day it was open!!!  It was all in good fun.  No doubt about it , Dan is one of the best fishermen on Fountainhead.  

Quanjig who are you exactly? I'd love to do some fishin.

I'm Jon Hudgins.  I kinda help Mike and Dan out when they need help with sign up in the mornings.  Let me know if you want to get out there.  My outboard is in the shop getting a new powerhead.(second one in two years!!) NOT HAPPY.  I will be in Wisconsin from Oct. 2-7.  I'll be checking the web site regularly.  E-mail me if your interested in getting out after that.  

Oh yeah I overheard Mr. Sparks talkin about your powerhead!! He was sayin "Lil jons powerhead blew again.." I wasn't sure who he was talking about. I know your last name, but I don't know who you are exactly. Have we talked before? Are you sittin there in the morning with Mike and Dan?

yea thats usually me, hat on my head and smokin' a cigar.  Not sure that we have actually had a conversation, but a bunch of us think you guys have been putting in good time on the res and deserve to be let in on some of how things happen out there.  I'm not gonna give you everything, but we think you can figure a lot out on your own with some inside info.  You have to understand that a lot of these guys have been fishing out there for 20-25 years and believe you should have to figure this stuff out all by yourself.  I was lucky enough to have some people "clue me in" on things that go on at certain times of the year.  Not gonna give you specific spots, but will show you how to approach some of the community holes and how to line them up if you don't already know.  with this info you can duplicate your success on other similar places.  You up for that???  lemmie know

I know exactly who you are now ;D.

I completely understand you not giving me spots, thats just stealing thats not learning how to fish. We will get our win when we get it. Of course we try every tournament to win but we aren't killing ourselves over it. I know there are guys that fish those tournaments that are amazing.

I am definetly up for some fishing when you get back. I'm just glad that a lot of you guys respect us as a team and don't just think we're jokes. We fish hard and even if we don't catch them we will always be there the next week.

Hey I'm gonna PM you about something from last tournament....just givin you a heads up.
