Just got back from my first fishing trip to the Chick. I haven't fished tournaments in 15 years, and I decided to fish a few this year. I fished with a guy about 12 years prior to that. We went separate ways after I got re-married. He fishes with a group of guys all year long. He asked me to fish with him again this a year and I said yes. He has fished the Chick once before. We got tired of culling fish and decided if they weren't 16" they went back, it was a great three days of fishing. We spent a day trying different patterns and ended up fishing grass. They hit a Senko real good in scattered grass and hammered a frog (you didn't miss many as hard as they hit) in the matted grass. It was pretty much fish half hour to an hour and then catch a few...go another half hour to hour and catch. The grass varied from 7' scattered to matted in four feet. Water temp was about 71.

Your reports were a big help on deciding a pattern. Thanks!!

We are both fishing Nikajack for the first time in Sept out of Hales Bar Marina. After today's win with 12.2 pounds I look forward to it.
