Subject: National Striped Bass Championship Lake Lanier, Georgia Dec 3-6, 2003

National Striped Bass Championship Lake Lanier, Georgia Dec 3-6, 2003 Gina and I have just returned from Lake Lanier and despite the fact we didn't place in the money we are both happy and had a fantastic time. Traveling 1100 miles to the southeast we had expected warm weather but of course we took clothing for any conditions and it is good that we did, the high temperature on the warmest day was only in the 40's, but we still felt lucky with that as a blizzard was rolling to the north of us! The first day prefishing we caught lots of stripers with the biggest weighing 17# we also got into a school of bass that kept us busy for a short time until we moved off of them. Prefish day 2 I woke up to freezing rain and ice covering the boat and all, with the numbers and size of fish we caught on day 1 I decided to stay in where it was warm and rest up for the tournament. Tournament day one, It was cold and raining headed to the area in the Little River where we caught the 17# , caught a few fish 8# biggest first few hours, moved back towards the main lake, birds and loons working. Stopped and fished this area and boy did we have a blast several fish on at the same time, broke one off, put our big fish for day one in the tube 13.5 #. Day 2 went back to the area we caught the 13.5 and fished it for several hours, no luck, the weather had change from cloudy to sunny but the temperature were still in the 40's fished hard all morning without a bite. Moved back to the area we caught the 17# lots of fish but no bites, decided to wait them out, finally caught a 7# which was the only fish we put in the boat on day 2. We ended up in 47th place out of 91 teams and 312 of the top striper fisherman in the USA, not as good as I expected but that's fishing for you. If you didn't try and qualify to fish this tournament all I can say is that you are missing out on a class act! National Striped Bass Assoc. President Warren Turner and his crew went the extra mile on every occasion to make sure all was in place for this event. Warren has some great plans for next year for all regions and is giving his all to promote and make region 3 bigger and better. This is my first year fishing this circuit and I have already learned allot and made a bunch of new friends which is what its all about anyway. Even if you don't want to fish tournaments the NSBA magazine is full of info. that even the veteran striper fisherman can use! So join NSBA www.fishnsba.com if you want to know more about striper fishing it is well worth every cent! FISHON, Capt. Madd Jack Hoskinson
