After our Championship trip to Eufaula, it was nice to fish on one of our home lakes, visit with wonderful friends, and enjoy the beautiful weather even though fishing was tough for most of us. Looking forward to seeing everyone that can compete in our next event scheduled for November 13th on the Cooper River out of Cypress Gardens.
