Deb Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 The final tournament(before the championship) on the LBAA tour this year is on Old Hickory August 25&26th. There will also be a benefit tx on the 27th. I've never fished this lake, but this yr has been full of new experiences. It's been a blast getting to fish all these new places. I'm currently sitting in 10th place. I'm lookin forward to seeing all the gals again, it is such a great bunch to fish with!!!! If you're close to Nashville come on down to weigh-ins to be held at Flippers! I hate to see it end for the year.....championship is on KY Lake, Oct 6,7 and 8th. The top 20 Pro's and top 20 Co's plus one wildcard from each will be fishing that....Ky Lake can be VERY tough that time of the year. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 7, 2011 Super User Posted August 7, 2011 GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 14, 2011 Super User Posted August 14, 2011 I'll see ya there! Glenn and I will be at both the take-off and weigh-ins, Old Hickory fishes much like Kentucky Lake this time of year: ledges. Numbers, not size is probably the ticket. A good day is probably 10-15 bass, 2-3 lbs. If you can mix in a couple of 4s and 5s, that will be the winning combination. Good luck! Quote

Keri Lookin forward to it Keri! We're gonna have a ball!!!!! Thanks for the well wishes guys!!! I appreciate the support Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Keri Posted August 16, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 16, 2011 I'm ready to go. It's been 3 years since I was able to fish with the ladies. In 2008 at Clarks Hill, I was fortunate enough to get a boat and go as a boater. This year I’m going, but from the back of the boat. I have to say I’m happy we get to go fish and show our sponsors off. It’s time to fish ladies. Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 16, 2011 Super User Posted August 16, 2011 Good luck to both of you! Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted August 16, 2011 Super User Posted August 16, 2011 Good luck to both of you! This part of Team Yensen agrees with that part! Good Luck! Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 27, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 27, 2011 Pam Martin Wells won on the "pro" side, which Deb placed 23rd out of 25 "pros". Sarah Davis won on the "co-angler" side, which Keri placed 16th out of 25 "co-anglers". Fishing was extremely tough - the dog days of summer. Lots of small fish, very few keepers - and a ton of very skinny fish...a 14" fish didn't even weigh a pound! It was 100 degrees yesterday, 92 today. One lady fished while passing kidney stones - literally laying down on the front of the deck while operating the trolling motor with her hands all day so her co-angler could still fish. The reason? "My co-angler paid $300 to fish in this tournament. I am NOT letting her down!" If anybody claims these women aren't as tough as the men, they're on crack!

R520dvx Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Deb should have had this one in the bag ..... unfortunately, with battery trouble the first day and getting heat exhaustion and cutting the second day short, it wasn't to be .... Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Keri Posted August 31, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 31, 2011 We didn't hear about the battery problem. Secret and I talked to Deb late on the water late Thursday but she never mentioned it. Dang Deb heat exhaustion and battery problems......way too much going on to have a good fishing trip. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 31, 2011 Super User Posted August 31, 2011 This was a first for me. Excitement and anticipation filled the air as the ladies prepared to launch. Staging in the dark, the armada was an impressive array of bass boats on display. Two women to a boat and they were stoked! Once the anglers were off, Glenn and I put in and fished the morning and early afternoon. Weigh-in was at 2:00, so we were off the water early to watch the gang return. We chatted with Greg Warner (R520dvx) while he prepared to receive fish. It's quite a process and the Tournament Directors did a great job! Both our "girls" weighed fish! The fishing was tough and not everyone was fortunate enough to bring fish to the scale. Day two was shaping up as a wide opened event. The second morning was much the same, but the ladies seemed even more focused, if that's possible. Launch went smoothly and we all returned for the afternoon festivities. Deb qualified for the LBAA Championship and Keri was able to find a keeper at the very last minute. All and all, a great time. If you can make it to Kentucky Lake for the LBAA Championship, October 6-8. I hope to see you there! http://www.ladybassanglers.com/ Quote

Dang Deb heat exhaustion and battery problems......way too much going on to have a good fishing trip. She jumped off the trolling motor batteries all day on Thursday .... enough to rattle concentration and deminish her confidence in fishing all the places she wanted to Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Keri Posted August 31, 2011 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 31, 2011 It was a lot of fun but hot. RW, thanks so much for the gear, it was nice to have it ready to go and so much to choose from. Keri Quote
