Lake Dardanelle was my next big challenge.  The year before we were there in the heat of the season.  After suffering the worst case of sun poisoning on my arms, I had bad vibes about this fishery.  However, it was spring time and not near the “heat factor” as in 2006.  Well as luck would have it, I managed some pretty good fish on day one and weighed in 14.3lbs. 



Day 2 was not so kind…with my day 1 spot not producing I was just looking for a keeper.  I carolina rigged a spot where I caught some small fish and managed a couple of keeper for 3.14lbs.  But I did manage to take the 25th spot and was on to fish Day 3.

Day 3 a totally different game plan.  With the weather threatening, I decided to stay as close as I could and fished some rip rap not too far from the tournament take off.  With a Buckeye Lure Spot Remover and a Zoom Trick worm, I had 4 fish that went 10.10lbs and gave me 19th place for the tournament.

Next stop – Lake Guntersville – I can’t wait for this one.
