Launch of Joeyfishing.com – Kid’s Coloring Contest
Bass Pro Shops – Free Boat Show Work
February 22, 2012 – The tournament and promotional
season is young and many opportunities lie ahead. Joey reports, “I am optimistic about
everything. My new Nitro Z-8 with Merc
225 Pro XS is an amazing boat. (Attached photo was featured on
bassmaster.com and is Joey “on the water” of LakeLewisville) The first couple tournaments of the year
have been some of the toughest fishing I have ever experienced but I am
continuing to learn with every tournament and with every day on the
water.”
BASS Central Open #1 Lake Lewisville, Texas– As Tough as it Gets! (I hope)
To say the
fishing was tough is a major understatement. Joey and 1/3 of the 178 pro angler field were blanked on both days one
and two. Of the final top 12 pros 8 of
them were blanked. “There just wasn’t
any pattern. I caught two fish in 5 days
of practice, one 2 pounder and one 5 plus, but couldn’t find a repeat
pattern. I threw everything I had in
every spot I knew of but came up empty handed.” The tournament was won in exciting form by Elite Series pro Brent
Chapman. He went into a fish off against
…..who had 18 pounds, all caught on day one. “I said I am learning but maybe this is one of those tournaments that is
so unique it is hard to learn much accept that the fish, in February on Lake
Lewisville are tough to come by!”
