I’m practicing again for this tournament with Scott Parker, and I met him this morning at the launch ramp. The two of us motored downriver maybe twenty or thirty miles, and fished our way back. We were looking mainly for largemouth, and found these fish to be quite shallow, in only one or two feet of water. My best limit of largemouth today though was smaller than Chaumont Bay smallmouth, and probably weighed ten or eleven pounds.

I worked on my college homework before even getting out of the tent this morning. It was due today so I had to be sure to get it done. Afterwards the boys and I went to the pool around noontime. It is a great pool, and only one block from our campground. Chris met some kids there and talked them into playing some baseball later in the afternoon.

Dan had a long day on the water. He left at 4:30 this morning and returned at 6:30 tonight. The boys had gone back to the swimming pool for a while this evening, but when they returned we cooked supper and then played a little game of football.
