FishingTN.com Tennessee's Fishing and Boating Community

Went down to Alabama to help my brother with his high school fishing tournament. Put the boat in on Friday morning, started fishing long rocky points and I caught a small rock fish. Went to fire up and the starter was dead. We beat on it, used jumper cables to by pass the solenoid as a test and after arcing the starter and beating on it, it freed up. Put boat back on the trailer and took it to a friend of his that just happened to have a new starter and solenoid. Replaced all that, charged battery and all was good. Didn't have any idea where to fish Saturday.

Saturday came, 35 teams and 171 boats in a this HIGH SCHOOL tournament. He ended up with 2 spotted bass for 2.4lbs which was good enough for 132 place. It was tough out there, winning weight was 11.x with big fish 3.8 I believe, and it was a spotted bass also. That lake is slam full of them. His next tournament is on guntersville and I hope I'm able to go down for that one too.

I also want to say that it is a sight to see kids from 7th grade to seniors in hs to have such a passion for fishing. It was a great honor to be an observer, just wish I could've helped him do better.
