The folks in Pennsylvania may need a snot nosed varmint to tell em that winter isn't over but fishermen in Texas could have told em that without rodent side assistance. January 2010 in Texas has finally and without much mercy come to an end.
As crazy as it may sound to those of us that stayed inside the final Saturday of January 2010 saw at least three tournaments throughout the State. BassnBucks headed toward Conroe and Media Bass held separate events on Sam Rayburn and Richland Chambers. The weather was a pleasant 29degrees with a howling NE wind. Conditions that had most fishermen staying home helping mama in the kitchen. However an impressive number of Texas' best fishermen ventured out to take a shot at these tournaments. The events saw Andy Gaia, Russell Cecil, Bill Wilcox, Mike Farmer, Gary Paris, Todd Castledine, Jim Tutt, Dicky Newberry and many other real sticks on the water. With that kind of talent on hand you had to expect that someone would truly come out on top and boy did she!
Mother Nature had her way in almost every instance. The three tournaments had 75 boats total (like I said there were a lot of wives with company last weekend.) And in all three tournaments there were six limits brought to the scales. No that is not six in EACH tournament that is SIX TOTAL limits for three tournaments with some of the best anglers in Texas! If you saw a team with five cull rings out on January 30, 2010 you can bet that they don't make it a habit to "donate" on Saturday's!
Boys when I see Nutria Rats carrying dura flame logs I don't need Punksatony Phil, Dr. Phil or any other Phil to tell this ol' boy winter is gonna last a bit longer! For some it is time to bundle and test your skills , for many it is probably best to just test your skillets.
