After such a disappointing campaign in the Elite Series I was ready to call it quits for the season, but something inside said “keep trying”. I guess bass pros are like old prize fighters, we just don’t know when to quit.

My plans to regroup and focus on next season would have to wait. The BASS Northern Opens were about to begin and they offered one last shot at qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic…if I could get in.

A quick call to BASS Open Director Chris Bowes offered hope. If I could find a non-boater to sign up, he would let me in the tournament. A flurry of phone calls and emails later, I eventually located a Canadian angler who wanted to fish.

Gainesville, Georgia is mostly lovely. Fried chicken and waffles, ice-cold lemonade and good old southern hospitality have made this place an enjoyable visit so far for a gal like me from the west coast. But my god, man, the heat! You don't have to tell me about heat and the difference between a dry heat and humidity. Hands down I'll take 118-degrees in the desert above what I experienced when I walked outside the Gwinnett Convention Center this afternoon after chatting with some pro-anglers at registration. It hits you like a ton of bricks, like a slap in the face, like a long-lost nightmare. And I haven't even been out on the water yet! This heat is pure evil.

Five Degrees of Skeet

Skeet as he relates to me

I have probably written more words about Skeet this year than in any other year in the past. At first glance, that makes total sense as he has had a season for the ages -- two Elite Series wins, two runner-up finishes and two other top fives, and a lead in the Angler of the Year race that would be insurmountable would it not be for the crazy system that BASS has devised for determining the AOY from the top 12 anglers.

The morning wasn’t off to a good start.

It wasn’t the fault of the fish. I missed hooking a couple of bass before my partner and I moved 50-feet from where we started. Both fish had left sizeable boils when they crashed into my spinnerbait.

I halfway expected my partner in the stern seat of my bass boat to say something. It wasn’t long before he did. As soon as I missed that second fish he had thoughts to share. “Stan,” he said, “why in the world don’t you hang a trailer hook on your lure? The water we’re fishing here is reasonably free of weeds and snags. Stick a trailer hook on that spinnerbait and just watch what happens.”

There are few things that take the edge off a hot, midsummer’s day in the mid-south better than a trip to one of Tennessee’s many smallmouth-fishing creeks. With June being a record warm month and July following that trend, I was more than ready to walk the pristine waters of some of my favorite backcountry waterways.
