<br /> Heath and I got out there again for the Tuesday nite TX on Parks. We had a good 18 or 19 boat turnout for this one.<br /> Im going to start off by saying that the fishing was beyond terrible tonight! <br /> We started off fishing a couple main lake points. The fish were there in our usual spots, just nothing would hardly cooperate. Caught a couple small fish, heath caught a little LM on the first cast on the first point. <br /> Second point we hit.... a million fish were there, nothing wanted to play except for one 14&amp;quot; spot. <br /> Whipped into a cove and gave it a try. Started throwing blades... 5 or 6th cast, had a 2.5-3lb spot chase it to the boat and swim off emoRolleyes Worked our way through there hard... I end up having one nail it, maybe a 14.5&amp;quot; spot for keeper number two. Had no more luck in the cove and headed back out to the main lake.<br /> Back on the main lake we pulled up to a bluff wall where I caught a couple a few days ago. Again, nothing there other than a couple tiny spots.... Cranked up and went to a point near by. <br /> First cast on the point, another little spot. Had a few more bites there that I missed in 20-30FT of water. Casted on up shallower after not seeing any fish on the depth finder for a second. A decent fish took the dropshot... fought him for a few seconds until he pulled loose emoDoh Nothing big but atleast a keeper that got off there. After that we had no more luck on the point... <br /> It was about 8:20PM by then, we move on to our next spot... just another point. Notta..... <br /> 8:40PM - Moon is finally coming up a little, we have moved to another point. Started catching quite a few fish, even doubled up at one time. But not one keeper ... emoLaugh <br /> 9PM - We head up the lake to our last spot of the day. Just a little bank, figured we may as well just give it a try and see if we can get lucky. Throwing texas rig/finesse now. Pulled up a couple litte fish here and there. By 9:25PM I hook a good one, starts pulling a little drag and the hook wants to pull loose again emoBang Oh well... fished down the bank a little more, I catch another spot going 14.5&amp;quot; for our 3rd keeper of the night. <br /> 9:45PM - Not getting anymore fish to cooperate, we are just about ready to give up... Told Heath that I&#39;m gonna make one more cast. Made one last cast and there she was, a 2.90lb largehead for our 4th keeper. emoWorthy <br /> Of course after that fish I squeezed in a few more casts hoping to get a 5th and final keeper until it was time to head to weigh in... Nothing else cooperated and that was it for tonight.<br /> We placed 2nd with 6.28lbs and had 2nd big fish of 2.90lbs.<br /> 1st had 8.88lbs out of a 5 fish limit, and 3rd I believe had 6.12lbs? - Not sure who had big fish, but I think it was a bag of 5lb something. It was a nice 3.77lb largemouth. emoToast <br /> Weather was awsome and as for the fishing....well...not so awsome! Had a blast tonite, even though the fishing was pretty slow. Didnt take any skill for us to get 2nd, just a whole lot of luck. emoThumbsup <br /> And for a heads up, next week will be the last open Tuesday night tournament on Parksville for 2010... come on out and fish it if you can! emoToast <br /> Good luck and be safe on the water
