Well, I have had my best year fishing ever. Looking back at all of 2003, I have caught the most quality fish (non-humpy) at West point in the first two months of the year. It was Blackmouth central there last winter, and we nailed about 30 bright chrome BM's between me and my buddy. We went from, maybe we will catch a fish or two? ....to being pissed if we didn't limit. That's pretty good for BM fishing.

Thats why we held that Derby... but by the time derby day came around, the fish had moved out of that area. This year we will have it about 4 weeks earlier.


I'd have to say for quality of fish, and ease of fishery, West Point Blackmouth with a hooch and a strip.
