2012 Classic Champions Report: How Garnier and Lafleur Won it. PART 2
This is the continuation of the 2012 CSFL Classic.
Day 2
 |
| Rob Lafleur and Pete Garnier proudly display their Day 3 catch! |
Day 2
Horrific wind, rain and
lighting greeted the anglers at dawn. After weather delayed the launch, Rob and
Pete bee lined it to their best spot.
Surprisingly the bait remained locked on the spot and no competition
boats from Friday pestered them. Immediately, Rob connected with smallmouth in
the 3 pound class.
Being a team
tournament, the focus is to do what’s best for the team. Pete explained how
they worked co-operatively to hammer out their best day of the Classic.
Pete explains, “The
wind was up a bit but nothing to be too concerned about so I positioned the
boat to allow Rob to pick apart the area. Rob went to town on them. I allowed
the boat to slip in to try and get in on the action but the wind had picked up as
the rain was intensifying. We chose to keep Rob in a position where he could fish
comfortable rather than risk blowing(the boat) in on it and spooking the baitfish. Rob locked
up with another good fish which tipped the scales at 5.35, and after a short
fist bump and mini-celebration we knew we had a shot at a good bag.”
Working together was
essential. With winds close to 50kms throughout the morning and early afternoon;
Rob and Pete worked a tag team approach that was critical to their success.
“The swirling winds and
gusts made reading the GPS difficult. Because I was controlling the boat it was
easier for me to keep track of the sweet spots were and I help guide Rob by telling
him which side of the boat to focus on.” Explains Garnier.

2012 Classic Champions Report: How Garnier and Lafleur Won it.
 |
| 2012 CSFL Classic Champs! Pete Garnier, Andy from CSFL and Rob LaFleur |
Well first of all, congratulations
on the terrific win! Having been fishing for decades, a win of this calibre
must be rewarding. “It’s a great feeling! Certainly something I am proud of and
one I won’t soon forget. The onslaught of texts, emails, and phone calls has
been really been humbling.” Reflects Pete. “Makes you feel like the years of
hard work and determination have all been worthwhile for sure.”
Working through the entire week
leading up to the tournament, Pete and Rob put in hours of pre-fishing. Rob had
to miss the first few days but Pete spent it hunting for largemouth. The
mindset was to wait for Rob to arrive before they targeted smallmouth.
“If you look back over the years,
smallmouth bass have always played a significant role on Rice, maybe even more
so in the last 10-years. In our minds, it is easier to catch four to six pound
smallies on Rice than it is to largemouth.” Declares Rob and Pete.
Practice
Having a clear practice game plan,
Pete focused his efforts on largemouths. “Typically at this time of year, Rice
lake produces a phenomenal algae bloom which forms a thick 4” to 6” layer of
“green-pea” looking slick on the surface. When this occurs largemouth and
smallmouth can be had on fast moving horizontal baits like spinnerbaits and
shallow running crankbaits. I totally anticipated to find these conditions and
looked forward to that style of fishing and was shocked that the lake had not
setup like that when I arrived on the Sunday prior to the tournament for my
first day of practice.” Explains Garnier.Tuesday, July 31, 2012
