It has been 2 years since we fished the Classic on the Big O. Last year we were on the St John’s. And how a lake can change it that time and is why we get to pre-fish the day before to hopefully find our same spots or have to find new spots.
Friday pre-fish did not start so good for Steve and I when we could not get our motor to start……UGH! after some evaluation and talking with the guys at the marina we decided to head to Fort Myers to hopefully have a mechanic look at. We were lucky after a little convincing and soon we were on our way back. Lost about 3 hours but were glad to finally be on the lake. Then as our luck would have it we hit a rock but luckily had minor damage to the prop. Seemed like the pre-fishing for most was slow in the beginning and some of our spots had changed and the water was muddy and the structure had changed. Good thing there are lots of the lake to find better conditions. Jason and Darrell had a good limit on pre-fish day again after a slow start and some of us struggled. Then it was time for some fun, bullshitting and a little drinking to help with day we had and prepare for the tournament.
First Place with two day total 37.87 pounds goes to Loren and Julia.
Second Place with a two day total 33.29 pounds goes to Steve and Mike.
Third Place with a two day total 31.08 pounds goes to Darrell and Jason.
Big Bass day one goes to Steve and Mike with a 7.38 pounds.
Big Bass day two goes to Jason and Darrell with a 6.70 pounds.
Congrats to all and our 2022 Classic will be back on the Big O.
