Tournament Day Two

Hello, again from Coeur d'Alene. The water is rising again today about a foot. The snow melt is coming down and it is going to be very warm today in the 80's. The river is flowing very fast and the geese are getting behind the floating logs to get in slow water. When we got here the logs were on shore so you can see how much the water has come up since the 5th. This is the dock area at our campground and they haven't put their docks in for the summer yet because the flow is too fast and will probably be this fast until mid June.

Day two was bright and sunny and Terry was the first boater back in. He was boat #3 today so got to get to his spot first. He was first in line (below) to weigh fish and had some nice fish to show.

The rest of the team didn't fair as well today nor did the field. It was a difficult bite and some of the top guys fell behind. Yesterday they had 10 bags over 20 lbs. but today only one 20 lb. bag came in.

Of course, Terry lost some good fish and would have had a 20 lb bag but couldn't get them in the boat. His non-boater was trying to lip one of Terry's 4 lb fish and lost it at the boat!! Oh well, that's fishing. He is 44th out Friday so hopefully he can get to his spot and get some fish early. He weighed 13 lbs. 11 oz today so has 21 lb 15 oz for the tournament. The leader is from Oregon with 40 plus pounds but is only 11 oz ahead of the next guy.

Weigh in starts at 2 pm and can be seen on the web at espn.com. Oregon is still in second place for the team we want them to hold on to that position. Montana is only about 28 lbs. behind starting today. Wish them luck and we'll get results posted when we can. Not sure if we will have internet in Anacortes and we head over there on Saturday.

Until later. Sandy
