This morning I just cleaned up and organized the boat, getting it ready for tomorrow. I have four baits tied on – a Gambler 10″ Ribbon Tail Worm, a seven inch ribbon tail worm, a seven inch strait tail worm, and a five inch chunky ring worm. These last three I will throw only if I am working a particular hole really hard, for all but one of the twenty bites I had out there in the eel grass this week have come on the 10″ Gambler worm.
It was nice today, relaxing and taking it easy. This is something I never do, but we have been here for a while, had adequate practice time, and I know exactly where and how I want to fish tomorrow.

It was nice to have Dan home for the day. When we fish, that is work, and it’s not always fun as there is pressure. Today was a day to prepare for tomorrow, and we were a lot more laid back.
At four o’clock we went over to registration. It was fun to see all of our friends again, whom we have not seen since last season. I can not believe the amount of people who commented on our journal, and have been following us since we last saw them. I am excited, and would really like us to have a good first tournament. Dan feels he can do well, and I hope his fish hold out.
