Saturday was the Ice Breaker at Indian Lake. This was a team event, which I opted to fish solo. I was boat #86 of the 128 boat field of anglers. Take of was a little slow, still breaking in the rebuild on the motor. About 8:00 I was fishing my 1st spot, here I was able to put two keepers in the boat within ten minutes. I was ready, the fish were on the same pattern as Friday...WRONG!!! I did not boat another keeper until 1:30. I did have several short strikes and a short fish during the long gap between fish, like that counts for much. Come weigh-in time my three weighed in at 4.5lbs, far behind the 15.68lbs it took to win. I just looked up the full results list on the Fishers of Men site and I ended up 40th out of 128. Not what I had hoped for, but respectful considering I fished solo. Only one other angler who fished solo finished higher. Now my thoughts are focused on Sunday's tournament, again at Indian. Practice went OK yesterday, a good number of fish but nothing over 2lbs. See what happens, it's still better than going to work.
