I'm licking my wounds again. Both days I went up to Wilson and the fish were just shallower than I thought they'd be. I'd caught a couple of decent ones in practice (offshore) but all the ones I caught in the tournament were a pound and a half or 2 pounds.
I ended up catching a couple of nice ones – I had a 4-pounder on a football jig today. I was catching about 50 to 60 fish a day.
If I had it to do over again I probably would've stayed on Pickwick – there was a lot of stuff there I didn't see. I would've liked to spend a couple days down there.
A half-ounce football jig and a Carolina rig with a Brush Hog were my two best baits for the bigger fish. You could go to the bank or to any dock with a shakey-head or a dropshot rig and get a lot of bites, but maybe 1 in 20 was a decent fish.
