Dennis Meyer and I came up just shy of winning the Joe Bass Team Trail event yesterday, but luckily the winners didn’t get in the side pot so a really nice surprise and payday. Well ran and definitely super nice to fish on Wednesday when the lake is so quiet. CaymasFreshwater BAJÍO Sunglasses
I also want to add that I will be with J.p. Sell and the NYFA organization at 6:00 Academy in Springfield with my boat answering all your questions about this weekend’s shootout! Everyone is invited!
