On July 16th of this year, I decided to enter into the Connecticut River Valley Bass Master Tournament. It was held on Lake Morey, VT. It was a great day for fishing. We had sunny clear skies all day and I got to fish in one of my favorite spots “THE WEEDS”. It was great fishing in this tournament. Everyone else was intensely focused on fishing the deep waters, while we found a spot in only 8 feet of water.
I ended up using a “FROG” top water bait made by Sopro. There were only 28 contestants in the fishing tournament on Lake Morey. We fished with Skeet Reece fishing rods with a 20lb test, fluorocarbon Seaguar line with Skeet Reece reels. Part way through the day we ended up changing over to strike king spinner bait and caught some nice fish. It is interesting how most of the contestants had bigger and better boats that go farther and faster than our boat, but in the end it is not the boat that makes a great fisherman.
