B.A.S.S. Open, St. John’s River, Final Day
I haven’t caught a fish in the river all week, so even though we’re not tearing them up up there in Rodman, once again that is where we headed this morning after take-off. We fished those jerkbait fish that were biting yesterday, but after an hour without a bite headed back up to where we fished on day one, where we had broken down. Those fish were a little more active today and after catching one flipping, I put four more in the livewell on a crankbait. Just before weighing-in though I ended up releasing one who just wasn’t going to measure, and I weighed-in four fish for just over five pounds.
Overall it was tough fishing this week, and it took only thirteen pounds over three days to be in the money. Craig zeroed today, but thanks to his big day yesterday he still finished 43rd and took home a check.
