I have learned how I can have a good day fishing. All I have to do is go fishing the day before a tournament and go fish by myself. emoRolleyes I went with the ratman in mind and thought I would look around and try some spots. Seems this year any time I do that the day before, I have a really good day and today was no exception. I boated somewhere around 25 to 30 bass, I had eight keepers and the best three were 2/8, 3/4 and 4/7. emoBang Why can&#39;t I do that in one of the ratmans? emoScratch Over ten pounds and those three were between 7 and 8:30. emoCrazy I figured with the way I have been going this year I might as well pay my money tomorrow and just go home. emoGoofy <br /><br />Baits today were varied, I had bigger fish on blades but also some keepers on the drop shot. I also boated a couple nice ones on the spook and a texas rigged worm. Had a bunch of slicks on a grub but I do not think any of those would have measured. I fished a lot of depths from 40 foot to 4 foot with grass. Temp was from 84 to 87 depending on where you were. It was slow until they started running more current. Got pretty strong out there today, I dropped a marker at one spot and the current was making it unroll so I had to pick it up.<br /><br />Well, see ya on the water. emoAngler Jmax
