Day one of the tournament greeted us with cold (45 degrees), windy (30 mph) rain. Since we had a less than stellar practice we had to go with what we had found and hope to find more. We started on the spot where I caught those three good smallmouth in as many casts. We pulled up and there was a boat on one of the points but his boat was on top of where I caught the fish and he was fishing shallower than I caught the fish. We were able to start on the what I thought was the better of the two points. The wind was blowing right into the current and it seemed much different than when I was there a couple days ago. We started fishing the point and around it with no success. We decided to try going down the wall out in front of the marina and still nothing. We idled back up and tried the point again, still nothing. By this time the other boat had moved enough that we were able to try the other point, but still nothing going on. We decided to go elsewhere and check back later when the water hopefully warmed up a bit and the fish become more active.
Rather than take up your time and retell one of, it not the worst day either of us have had during a tournament, I will tell you that we blanked on this day. We may of had a bass bite or two but we did not have a bass on our lines all day. Which is the first time this has happened to either of us. We were unable to make it out to the lake due to the wind, which is where we felt if need be, we could go catch a few fish.
