2006 Tournament Results:
July 16th, 2006 - Greater Erie Red Cross Bass Tournament
Lake Erie out of Presque Isle, PA. I had a 35th place with tournament partner Joe Fonzi out of 68 teams with 10.74 pounds for 3 Bass (tournament limit) while the winners: Chuck Main and Dave Lefebre had 14.40 pounds. We ran 26 miles back to just over the NY border to fish a few humps that while prefishing we had caught some monsters on (3 over 5 pounds and many 4 - 4 1/2 pounders). The long run in 2-4' waves going both ways used up a lot of valuable time that could have been spent fishing closer to Presque Isle as our Big Fish were gone or just had lock jaw. We just couldn't get the bigger fish to bite while we couldn't keep the Sheepshead and smaller Bass (1-2 pounds) from biting our Tubes and drop shot rigs.
June 17th, 2006 -
the Annual Wagon Wheel Restaurant Bass Tournament
I finished 4th with 9.27 pounds for my 2 Biggest Smallies, missing the money by .01 of a pound. The winner had 10.16 pounds, while second had 9.42 as well as big fish a 5.62# Slob and third had 9.28 pounds. I fished with my 12 year old son Travis who held his own with a 11th place finish with 7.86 pounds for his 2 biggest Bass but would have probably been in the money if he wouldn't have lost the 5 to 5 1/2 pounder at the boat.
May 20th, 2006 - 6th Annual MAKE-A-WISH Millennium Bassmasters Tournament
I Finished 7th with partner; Joe Fonzi out 94 teams. They called Lake Erie off limits due to the extremely rough conditions with 4-7'+ waves and 20-30+ mph winds. Everybody had to fish inside the main breakwall. We managed to catch about 30-35 Smallies with most being 2 -2 1/2 pounds but wound up with a couple nice ones that weighed 8.84 pounds for our 2 biggest fish. We were fishing an unprotected section of Donnelly's Wall with about 15-20 other boats. By the end of the day most of the other boats moved to more protected areas as it had kicked up to 4-5' waves in the Harbor where we were by noon. We caught our biggest fish a 4.98 pounder at 1:30pm on a smoke/green Shuberts Tube jig and other big fish came on a Rapala DT10 Crankbait at 11:00am. The winners were Tim Braun and Jeff Wagnor with 10.90 pounds, they fished a couple hundred yards down from us in front of the Erie Basin Marina entrance. Overall, it wasn't that bad a day of fishing despite the conditions.
