The last tournament for 2011 was on Shell Creek near Punta Gorda. Anna and I started in the reservoir and Anna hooked up 2 fish in the pads but unfortunately they were shorts. We worked the cuts with Texas rigged worms both using Zoom products, one a blueberry ribbon tail and another a June bug trickworm. The action was steady as we managed 8 fish but out of the 8 only one keeper to weigh in. Once again Randy and George took 1st place honors with 12 + pounds. Congrats for 4 wins in a row!

Windy weather and the FLW federation tournament made the calmer portions of the lake pretty crowded as Anna and I fished the ABA couples tournament. We found a spot in a cove not to far from Southport park where we launched. The fish were pretty small but cooperated and bit well. We caught quite a few small ones that barely kept around the outside of the bulrush. We used junebug trcikworms and small shadraps. At weighin we had 5 and change but it was fun never the less.

Anna and I fished the B’s tournament in November out of Jiggs Landing. The day started slow as we fished the main reservoir then ventured up the river to the 1st canal. Anna hooked up on a nice 2 pounder on the Carolina rig. I tossed the Carolina rigged Blueberry worm and got one over 3 pounds right besides a floating dock. Working the 50 yard stretch we managed 2 more keepers. At weigh in we had 7 pounds plus but plenty of other fishermen had nice sacks. Randy and George won 1st place with a nice limit. Brian got lunker at 6.93 pounds. Nice weather and as always way better than working!
