Prefishing Conditions fell in the middle of a hot dry spell with clear conditions, no rain for weeks and no wind. The water was fairly clear (SB visible 1-2 feet). The water was about a foot below pool-temps were 82-85 F. It was hot and calm. We arrived to prefish at about 9:00 am. Within 10 mins we had a small keeper out of 2 feet of water near a boat ramp on a water melon and red senko. The rest of the day was a bust. We fished the arrowhead weeds with Toads jigs and senkos. We cranked, senko’d and jiged the rocks. We fished the wood on the mine subsidences-just 2 shorts caught. I knew Sunday would be a long day and it was. USA Bass’n came in that afternoon, it looked like it took about 13 lbs to win (team weight). I saw one big fish. It seemed like there were either heros or zeros and not many bags in between.
Tournament day:
We took off and first light about 5:15 am. The conditions were identical to practice day so it didn’t bode well for me. No topwater bite. Again I could not put anything together on this hot bright day. Only caught 5 shorts. We had about 12-13 guys fishing and few fish came in with only 4-12 winning and big bass being 3-12. Most fish caught on cranks or senkos. It was pretty pathetic fishing.
