We have a 4-1-4 semester system which allows students to take the full month of January to take a single class, travel abroad, or contract their own course. It's a small liberal arts school in Alabama. Check out the story at the story, pictures, and results on the Auburn Website.Īs you might already know I attend Birmingham-Southern. We ended up 13th out of 51 teams, which is not to shabby for my partner having never been before. He only caught three shorts, but he still really enjoyed the lake. She felt like a rock pulling her into the Ranger. On the very last cast I ripped the bait free of the grass and hooked into a toad. All of them were fishing right up against the bridge so I decided to move back off a little, upsize from my Xr50 to the Xr75 lipless crankbait, and try my luck in about 7-8ft of water. When I arrived I found myself sharing the 50 yard stretch of rip-rap with about 12 boats. I had made a run back to a small pocket shielded by the wind. I only had one fish and only one cast left on the day. With wind gusts touching 25mph and keeping steady 15mph all day, my spots were ruined to say the least. It was okay for me pretty much fishing solo but I expected more.ĭay 2 would prove to be even tougher. Day one would prove to be different as I scrambled around on the Northern part of Guntersville and only managed to catch four all day. Practice went pretty well with me catching a couple of four pounders in two spots where I thought fish should be holding. With the academic rigor of Birmingham-Southern that would almost be impossible for me!!Īnyways about the tournament. It's amazing how the Auburn guys, for instance, get to travel and fish almost every weekend. It's really hard for me to miss that much school. Each tourament they put on is a friday/saturday tournament with practice on Thursday. I made it to the Guntersville tournament, but I just missed the third tournament at Wheeler because the boat was getting worked on. I wasn't able to attend the first tournament because of the BBQ trip. Auburn's Tournament trail is a series of three tournaments followed by a championship, all of which take place in Alabama. I invited one of my good buddies, Will Foster, who has never been bass fishing before, to join me for the tournament. While I am in the process of creating a club here at school I still plan to compete in some college tournaments.
