Subject: Mobile Delta - Fish'n Fever Tournament, Alabama
Submitted by DownSouth #10325
Date Fished: 5/10/2008
Water Temperature: 76
Water Clarity: 1 foot The 4th qualifying Fish'n Fever tournament took place today with around 85 boats participating. Seems like the summer pattern is happening early this year. It was hot and humid to say the least, even with partly cloudy skies. It took 14+ lbs to win and 13 and change for 2nd place. We actually saw the 2nd place finishers catch the lunker of the day, which was 5 1/2 lbs. My partner would have had one, but his partner did a horrible net job and the fish got off. We ended up in 11th, but would have been in around 3rd with that fish. Of course we all have stories like that at every tournament however. For us the top water bite was good early. After around 10:00 the fishing was pretty tough. The winners said they caught fish here and there all day long. They caught their fish below the train trestle. We caught our fish in the middle Delta. Most of the upper river fishermen struggled, although a few of them prevailed and placed in the top 10. Buzz baits and jerk baits did best for us and when it got tough we went to plastic. Seems like the big fish were active early, but overall most of the top finishers had a decent limit with a consistent size on 5 fish, but not many kickers. Congratulations to Jerry and Randy for winning the tournament and to Tim and Ronnie for placing 2nd and having the lunker. The next qualifying tournament will be June 14th. Next week is the MBA's Ronnie Brazell Memorial Teambass Tournament out of Lower Bryant Landing. Until then.... good fishing and go to church tomorrow. Don't forget your Mom! She made it possible for you to be here in the first place! <><
