Well, tomorrow it counts. Tomorrow the hooks will be set with full and unforgiving force because we all need to bring in the bags. We can’t let Michigan down and lose on our home turf!!! No way. We would never live it down…
I drew an angler from Indiana. He is fishing something possibly not too far from one of my patterns and wants to go there in the afternoon, so I get the morning to see what I can put together. Cross your fingers time…
I’m in the last (3rd) flight, but there’s only 36 boats so tomorrow I’ll have almost an extra half hour to fish. They will probably flip flop us, but I like having more time on the first day to see what happens.
I had one a really good bass in an old spot and found a new spot that had at least one quality bass on it (it creamed a new lure I’m trying, plus Wayne has some news baits I want to try tomorrow). I have a few other bass on, but I didn’t fish a real long time. Needed to make sure everything is ready and I’m as prepared as I can be (I am almost the world’s slowest preparer, but that’s okay).
FLW has a person on site who will be updating their TBF section daily so you can find out how we did later tomorrow evening. I hope we end up living up to the level of confidence the guys were showing at the team meeting tonight. Team confidence seems very high. Confidence is important!
