Chipmans Pond Delaware Tournament

[BeyondTheBounds]

Some footage from the recent Delaware Paddlesports tournament. These are great tournaments, people are low key, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Followed by food! Cost is typically $35. For entry, big bass and food. I compete in tournaments cuz I like to meet people who are clearly addicted to this obsession like I've become.

I enjoy making these videos cuz I enjoy watching them afterwards! And it is flat out fun. I promote them, cuz it takes hours of splicing to put them together, and I like to get the views from people who appreciate them.

I'll talk conditions when I post the tournament footage, but here is my day prior.

Nice video. Looks like a healthy bass population there. Sorry about your rod.

[BeyondTheBounds]

I'd agree. Definitely healthy. Some good sizes were caught on tournament day......truth be told I was less impressed with the performance of that new Johnny Morris Rod. It was also a good deal cuz I realized I could take my other Johnny Morris Rod back with busted micro guides after being informed I should......found myself having $240 in bass pro credit.....and that made Yakie a happy boy...

Any snakeheads up that way yet?

Ain't caught one yet. Not sure they are in DE....but wouldn't surprise me if they were in some of the rivers, I think the salt keeps them from jumping the Potomac but could be wrong.

Got the video up a week ago, but my Tapatalk was on the fritz for some reason.

Primary patterns: fish ambushing from pads and holding in the deepest part of the lake near the ramp.

Plenty of vegetation.

I felt the frog was too aggressive and spooked the the fish, so when the slight vibration of a weightless worm dropped in front of them it triggered their attack. I heard jigs around the edges produced fish for the winner.

Worms in various rigging so worked well for me a wacky rigged senko green pumpkin black flake produce good fish for me.

Vegetation near 4ft of water produced the most fish.
