Back at it

I have really enjoyed the last 6 weeks. I banned myself from fishing during that time to spend more time with the fam, get work taken care of, and handle honey-do's at the house. Clay and I had a great weekend together in Boston, we went to Lake Burton with the Seabolts for a great weekend, and spent some time at the beach.
Now, its back to the grind. I am not complaining, I love fishing, but this year has really been a busy fishing season. I have had 40 days of tournament or prefishing days during the first half of the year! And it has been good for the most part. I am sitting in first place for Angler of the Year in the Alabama BASS Federation Nation, I made a few checks in the Bassmasters Weekend Angler Series, and qualified for the Bass Club World Championship Series National Champioship Tournament.
Now it gets serious. This weekend is the final divisional tournament for the Weekend Angler Series. If I do well I should make it to the Regional Championship which is the first week of October. For that event, I will be heading to West Point Lake in La Grange, GA on September 30th, coming home on October 4th, spend the night and get up the next morning and head to the Bass Club World Championship Series in Oklahoma. I will get back from there on October 11th or 12th. Then head to Neely Henry Lake for the Alabama Bass Federation Nation Championship October 20th-25th.
That is going to be chaotic at best. But, it's good experience and a great opportunity to cash some checks.
Wish me luck, I need it!
