Update - what i've been doing

Hey Guys ..... Sorry I haven't been updating my profile .. but unfortunately work has taken over my spare time. And I have only been on the water a handful of times, so far, this year. I am hoping that this all changes over the next couple of months. My second fishing trip of the year, was in May, with a couple co-workers, we went fishing for walleye, near Cardinal, On. Even thou the, fishfinder marked fish all day, we only had a few hits. And, the only fish that were caught, were 2 Bass (not in season, so we had to throw them back). Regardless, it was a good day spent, with good people. The first tournament that I attended this year, was the Gananoque, BIG BASS CHALLENGE, hosted by Garry Fisher, on July 7, 2012. This was the first year for this event, and I have to say that Gary and his crew, did an amazing job. If anyone gets the chance, they should check it out, in 2013. The weather was a little wet, till about Noon Hour, then the sun came out. Unfortunately I never caught a fish, but i did see 5 Carp, and had 1 Bass, circle my boat about 3 times, before he swam away. But I did learn a valuable lesson, make sure you test your trolling motor batteries, mine coughed after about 3 hours of use, so i had to drift for fish, the rest of the day. (Lesson Learned) ... another lesson learned, is you definitely need to pre-fish before a tournament .. I blame my lack of fish on this, I have never fished that area before. Today, July 28th, 2012. Would have been my 2nd Tournament, the Renegade Bass Pro-Am Tournament ... in Carleton Place, on Mississippi Lake. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend it, because I pulled some muscles in my back on tuesday, and I have been hobbling around in a crouched position, ever since. But I will definitely be attending this event, in 2013 (good luck, to all of todays participants). Sooo .... thats about all I have for ya this time .. Unfortunately I still have no pics of me, with a monster fish, to brag about .. Oh Well ..... Next Time ... but as they say .. "A Bad Day Fishing .. Is Still Better Than, A Good Day At Work" (I must agree). Till next time ..... may you all have .. "Tight Lines". Carl (Off to buy some new batteries, for my trolling motor)
