BWS Kentucky Lake

[Teri C.]

I am on my way to Kentucky Lake to fish the Bass Weekend Series tournament tomorrow. The only time I've ever been on this lake was a rally years ago for NTOWS. Ha! I've come a long way since then and owned about 5 different boats. lol. Just hoping to weigh a few to move up in points to make the regionals.



Have a great weekend everyone! Be safe and wear your life jackets. A guy was killed here on my lake last night when 2 bass boats collided.

Good luck, I suspect you will catch some good ones. A friend of mine caught a lot of bass over the July 4 week on a dead wood pattern. Most were 18-20" fish.....

I weighed my 1st limit (co's only keep 3) and I finished in 13 place. 7 thru 13 were ounces apart so I am quite proud of my finish. It moved me up to 19th overall in points and considering I blanked the 1st 2 tournaments, I am feeling pretty good. The top 40 go to Regionals so I think I have a spot locked in now. Not bad for a girl.



Boy did I miss Mini as my boat driver. It was pretty windy in the morning and Kentucky lake was rockin'. I got beat to death for the 1st 2 hours. I was soaked after riding to each spot. I am not a good just of wake size but they were huge and white caps everywhere. My back was killing me after 2 hours and I barely got out of bed on Sunday. I've never felt like that after fishing. Considering we had no keepers in the 1st 2 hours, I was pretty miserable but the day got calmer and better.



Fished at least 30 feet of water all day. Not my thing!!! but I quickly adjusted with a 1/2 tungsten and a 10" worm. Caught all my fish on that. Missed several because I am not good at setting the hook when I am pulling sideways. Much better when I could hold my rod straight up and down. It was too windy to do that and keep the line tight. Caught several shorts (15" limit) but ended up putting together 3 respectable fish. I wanted that kicker so bad but I lost my only chance at one. Not sure what happened other than the hook wasn't set. Rod was totally bent over. I yanked and reeled and then it just let go. Oh well, that's why I am not a boater. ha!



I have one more tournament to improve my spot for regionals. It's a 2 day tournament on Old Hickory at the end of August. You bet I will be out there practicing until then.

[Brian Ingersoll]

Great job!!

 

[Mini]

go get em girl...



just dont get too high or too low. afterall its only fishing!



Oh and thats all you miss about me? I am disappointed

 

[Teri C.]

Mini, I am not "high" over a 13th place finish...just happy I had fun again and it made me feel good to weigh a limit and have a respectable finish among the men. I did get pretty low after blanking my 1st 2 tournaments. I weighed 2 during tournament #3 which made me happy to weigh fish but I finished 28th. This one just gave me a little confidence going into our last tournament which is 2 days instead of 1.

Good deal Teri, way to gut it out.....



Hope the back is feeling better!!

 

[TrepMan]

Great job Teri! Glad to see you hooked up with a tourney trail, and are taking to the streets with the guys! keep it up!!

 

[Randy Walls]

Teri, how many were in the tourney? A 13th sounds good to me especially if it is/was a large tourney!



Randy!

I think there were around 40 boats.
