I'll be running the last tournament of the year on the St. Joe River Nov 1. We will launch from the DNR ramp across the street from Tackle Haven. The tournament will start at 8 am and end at 3:00 pm.
Hope to see you there!!

| Hopefully a few boats so we can end the year on some fun. It's going to be really slow probably but whoever lucks into the school somewhere in the no wake zone is going to catch some big ones if they stick it out. Last year it was totally luc but November 2nd i think it wasmy grandma road along as I boated my largest limit ever in the river of over 23 pounds but I only had 6 bites all day but it was well worth it! |

| Thats how its done! Most dont realize that most of us go out there for 5 or 6 bites?? We know there all gonna be what were looking for! I dont wanna know where the fish are just where the pigs are!! Its alot of work!!! JR and Justin found them on Leelanau. I was a couple hundred yards off!! still got a few good ones. I dont pay attention to much to other people fishing, but i seen them catch a couple from a distance! bummer to me!!! thank god for my brain... -skeeterman- might be there prolly yes~! lets fish all year screw the winter!!!! |

| Well it's in the books and I will leave it for Justin to fill in the gaps but he whooped me, like 30-10 keepers, today and everyone of his seemed to be a nice one, at least 2.5 pounds. We ended up with almost 21 pounds but his XTools had us towards 22 pounds so I wonder which scale is more accurate? I caught the smallest that we weighed being a 3 pound 15 ouncer so that tells you where those big 4 Justin caught got us. We lost a couple that felt like absolute giants but we never got to see them. |

You said it all Jr. We had a great day and caught a bunch of pig smallies. I put up a pick of our catch on my website. Its in the SMC Tournament Results link.

| Nice job Justin & Jr. We were close though. We had about 18lbs and lost a nice one early that would have put is close. I believe you beat our big fish by 3 oz. Great day to be out on the river...

Nice Job!! I didn't realize you guys had 18 pounds. I should have gotten a pic of your bass.

He said he had around 17 pounds but only four fish. He kept throwing back 2 pound fish and never caught another 3 or above. Everyone had a great day of fishing.
