Fished my first kayak fishing tournment

I fished my first SKA(Southern Kayak Anglers ) tournment on Sept. 29/30 2012 and got stumped on day 1 .But i got my confidence built  up for day 2 and caught a spotted bass and a largemouth bass. It was a tough lake to fish (Chatgue Lake in Georgia)I" m a speed fisherman and i had to finesse fish and caught them in the last hour .I"m looking foward to next year tournment trail.

My first kayak fishing tournment is in the books.

Well my first tournment is in the books. It was a tough two days of fishing the beautiful Chatgue lake in georgia. I headed out on chatgue and start to throw my confident baits, i use all the time around weiss lake ,But to my surprise nothing, no bites ,no hits. I got stumped on day 1 and my confidence was gone.I headed back to the hotel and watched the roll tide football game and  with my confidence gone and thinking in my head, what am i going to do and I told myself don't give up . So I made up my mind to fish hard on day 2  and give it my all. I  am not a very good  finesse fishermen and knew i had to go to that and decide to use a lizard . Then i paddle over to a dock and casted  the lizard under the dock and twitched it twice and WHAM a 13 inch spotted bass. Then casted again in the same spot and the lizard got smacked by a largemouth bass that was 13 .25 inches . So i caught  two fish and lost two more ,but i didn't give up . I had a great time fishing my first tournment and can't wait till next year .I  had a blast meeting all the ska ( Southern Kayak Anglers)members and  fishing their tournment ,and it is a awesome tournment trail.
