Fishing was tough and not as good as we thought it would be, although not bad. Everyone including the local guides felt that the storms on Friday night
had spooked the fish.
The best bite was in the mornings prior to 11. Quality fish could be caught close to open banks or seawalls with rock bottoms on small crankbaits in green or chartreuse till about 9 AM. We used an RC 1.5 until I broke the bill off,
then switched to a small Bandit with less than stellar results. My partner caught the big fish on Saturday which put over $400.00 in our pockets
and landed us in 7th.
Sunday it started the same however the crankbait fish were not nearly as numerous.
We moved to pitchin black 1/2 oz jig and chunks and black w/blue flake 4" & 5" Senkos into
very heavy cover. We also caught a lot of small fish on a custom made white and black laminated tube that imitates a Crappie.
We finished with about 11.5 lbs and in 4th place. We caught numerous male fish who were on the beds in less than 2' of water. In fact the big fish on Saturday that Larry nailed had a bloody tail and went 6.52.
That's a 2nd, 4th, 6th & 7th for four tournaments. I'm satisfied----to a point.
