Point Pleasant Elks Tourney

Fished the PP elks yesterday , on Scotts boat with Jimmy and John rounding out the crew. started to prep by penning bait on Saturday so we would not have to worry about it sunday morning.
Day started off BAD with me knowing I had t use sun screen due to being on medicine for lymes and not suppposed to be in the sun.

Knew we would be out fishing a long day so put on some Bullfrog 50 and it jst wouldnt soak in. showed up at the boat looking like BEETLEJUICE.
Got my chops busted pretty bad, but everyone was fishing all day HARD , trying to put a good fluke in the boat.

we had it all , Peanuts, snappers , spot, even Live huge spearing. Bucktails, Gulp , and salmon belly, but just coudnt find a willing taker on any of the lumps that have been good to me before.

Made a long run to fish the ambrose hoping for some nicer water and drift conditions , but it wasnt any better there, with only two shorts being caught .

went back to the ruff stuff , finally having a drift but continued the morning trend of BIG dogfish that were destroying anything we put down there. seemed the lumps were infested with them .

at days end couldnt believe that we hadnt even boated a single keeper, fishing with 4 guys who fished HARD all day that always put fish in the boat.

Then seeing in the truck window when I got back I still looked like BEETLEJUICE , and the crap wouldnt rub off , what a fitting end of the day that was.



congrats to Capt Jerry and the others who made it happen on the right day to do it !!!!!!!!!!!!


Big Thanks to Dakota for going out of his way to add to our bait arsenal for the next bunch of tourneys, saving me a ride to pick it up !!!!!!!!!!
