Season 5 has started. We were at the usual Lake Norman today. Usually its 65 and sunny, well, complete opposite today. Cold, wet, nasty. We met at Gander Outdoors at 5am. Let me just take a second to thank them. They weren’t due open until 9am. At 515am, managers and employees showed up! They opened the store for QCKBF!!! Not only that, they printed up qc flyers with coupons for us all. Then, they gave us the lodge room!!! An indoor facility for weigh in. It literally changes everything. I cant begin to thank them enough. We will be back there for the charity event in March, and Norman round 2 in Sept.
We had 68 anglers come kick start the season today, with most joining the AOY, and 11 teams. Great start. Most knew the lake was a little off for Norman. Cold, mud, fishing wasn’t great. Registration ends at 7am and all anglers scatter. 10 open ramps! Rains all morning, winds, cold, few texts here and there telling me the bite was TOUGH. I think we all know, somesones gotta win!
430pm rolls around, lodge room full of red faces, and tired anglers. We got to put our new technology to use, and weigh in took only 20min!
