King Of The Glades

[bocabasser]

this sunday the King of the Glades qualifying round 4 is at holiday park. the fishing is starting to pick up. anybody fishing it? hope to see you out there.

Me and Jack are fishing it. Probably wouldn't have if we had bombed the Okeechobee tourney, but we did pretty good and are currently tied for 10th place in overall standings. If the classic were held today we'd be in. I'm not optimistic going into this qualifier, though. I haven't caught a bass south of Alligator Alley in six months...

stay on the alley then. i think 12-15 pounds will cash acheck this weekend. i have found some fish, i just hope they hold up.

[piscicidal]

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't have much on the alley, either.

Like you said, though...12pounds probably cashes a check. Someone's gonna do it...so I'm gonna try like heck for it to be me.

Good luck to you, Bruce. If you're on any kind of fish then no doubt you're in good shape compared to most the field.

[bocabasser]

thanks. good luck to you guys as well. i am fishing alone, because it's my partners 33rd anniversary. i'll just put my ipod on and flip all day. i will see you guys sunday.

[GLADES]

Good luck to both of you.

So what were the results?

[evrgladesbasser]

that good huh lol

[gar-tracker]

The King of The Glades is dead, his name was Pat Fitzsimmons.

I think Sayler and Forsell had 19+ for first and Tim Feller and Dean Belits were second at 16 +/-. Better than the prior months but not like the last couple years.

[bocabasser]

tim and dean had 19 pounds as well. they came in second. 13+ was third. i had 9 pounds and finished 10th. tim and dean were in the same area i was, they were targeting bedding fish. i was catching fish all day on topwater. i caught fish all day, but obviously no good ones.

[GLADES]

I had a 5 fish @ 5.6 lbs last time out there. All keepers but very small indeed.

[evrgladesbasser]

I'd be ecstatic with 19lb at Holiday these days.

We bombed. We had one spot that had decent fish but that storm the night before muddied up our water bad and blew our fish out. We were too far away for a plan "B". Live and learn. That's why guys like Bellits/Feller/Forsell/Sayler/etc... are "kings" of the glades, and I'm the court jester!
