Last week there was a 20 foot tall waterfall in front of my house. This week
there is a 20' tall ice sickle! Hope the jet stream moves back north soon!
I spent most of the day yesterday fishing the Fort Smith pool of the Arkansas River.
I have a little local tournament this weekend. The water temperature is 50 degrees and falling daily (or hourly!).
It's muddy and running hard! The cold, muddy water makes for a tough bite! The forecast calls for a 27 degree
air temp for the Saturday morning take off and a high of 47. Should be fun...............
I did see a cool article on BassFan this morning (http://bassfan.com/news_article.asp?id=3467). Here's how that works. If you pay my FLW
Tour entry fees, I'm willing to give up half of my winnings from each FLW Tour event. The entry fee for each event
is $4,000.00. If I finish in the 'Top 50' in an event, I get $5,000.00 and you get $5,000.00. If I win the event,
I get $50,000.00 and you get $50,000.00. A second place finish would net $20,000.00 for you and $20,000.00 for me, etc.
down to 50th place. It should make an interesting story with lots of media exposure. The biggest fishing
media outlet, BassFan, is on board and will continue to cover the story.
