This is a review of my season with wwwunitedbassanglers.com . This club is from N.J. and has 30+ members. LILLY pre fishing for our first tourney was great I spent the time with my friend Manny and we did well. When tourney came around I had the dropped fish bug my nonboater Alberto said I lost about 8 fish while my prefishing partner did not lose the fish and ended up finishing high not the way I wanted to start the season. HIGHLAND could not find them let alone catch them CANDLEWOOD bedding fish and I cull twice for 12+lbs problem is you need 15lbs to place. GREENWOOD ok the crankbait has now cost me 2 tourneys and once again I lose fish and I am in 10th place and trying to defend my fishing abilities to my competitors. CHAMPIONSHIP 1st day on saratoga I flip for 15+lbs 2nd day on the mohawk I struggle for 12+lb and end up in 3rd place. BUDDY CANDLEWOOD I fish with my good friend joe Mahood and we find some good weed beds and bag 19+lbs and lunker GREENWOOD I dropshot my way to a second place finish MAHOPAC NIGHT I bag 12+lbs my nonboater gets 16+lbs he wins I get 4th all from a small but productive area CANDLEWOOD NIGHT I catch big fish while prefishing with manny but everyone is reporting big bags so I get my wish A cold front and I then bag 15+lbs and 1st place with lunker HOPATCONG can you repeat after me and say skunking I fish big and wiegh in notta 8lbs won and 2nd was 5 fish for 5 lbs hopatcong bites the big one LOL MAHOPAC BUDDY I fished with a great partner named Ray Scully but the fishing was not as great as my partner. And also had A good butt kicking from PatX and 2nd place finisher and once again prefishing partner manny. HUDSON RIVER last points tourney of the year and everyone is reporting big bags prefishing I have only caught 2 fish in 2 days of prefishing and on tourney day I have 5 fish for 5lbs and a 1/2 hour left in tourney so I tell my nonboater alberto I have one spot left and get ready to crank. With the tide pefect I am able to cull 3 fish in 10min and seal another 1st place finish. But luck is not on my side for angler of the year and losing to (last second fish ) Gary Kanwisher is not all that bad because this guy is a fishing machine. This was A very nice year with UBA and though I fish alot more tourneys and opens then this I thought I would share my fishing experiences with UBA. And I would like to thank our tourney director Gary Kanwisher and pres Steve Hirsh for a wonderful season. 5bass
