the Bass are biting pretty good at my local "Bass" lake. Took over 20lbs (5fish limit) to win a tourney on it, last weekend. I went this past weekend (Sat nite) and caught a few nice fish. See my post on KY board for details.
Hope you get good use out of your Sam Heaton. What reel did you decide to put on it ? It ain't much of a dock shooter ... but, for casting jigs to cover -- it's sweet !! Glad you got to come to the tourney, and it was nice meeting you. .......take care & luck2ya .......cp
