Janet Parker Holds Her Head High
A dab rock and roll offers some comfort to professional bass angler Janet Parker. Mick Jagger wrote and sang it with the Rolling Stones, and Parker can impart: You can't always get what you want. In Parker's case, it was a strong finish in the third tournament of the Bassmaster Central Opens and an Elite series attraction for next year. A dream that will have to percolate a bit more during the off season. Parker has decided one thing in the days that followed the insufficient tournament at Table Rock. "I'm definitely going to try again next year," shared Parker. She plans to fish the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Key Opens again and feels she has a greater advantage in 2012 because of the favorable schedule.
The first event is on Parker's current in waters-Lake Lewisville in Texas. Table Rock comes back into play and Parker had absolutely a bit of pre-fish time there between the cancelled spring tournament then the fall re-scheduled event. "I'm glad to have had a lot of in good time always on the water on Table Rock this year," added Parker. "That will definitely help me in 2012." And the third meeting is on a lake that is close to her family-Fort Gibson Lake in Oklahoma. "Having a family ally to Fort Gibson will make it a little easier for me to scout out the lake next year. I'm excited about competing with this book."
With the Ouachita River fishing so matter-of-fact, some of the contenders held back on their fish Thursday in the 2011 BASS Federation Nation Championship presented by Yamaha and Skeeter Boats, but Alabama's Jamie Horton went all out.
