Date Fished: 10/1/2003
Water Temperature: 69
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet Fished in the Midwest Sportsman tournament this week. Fish were easy to catch but keepers were hard to come by. Somewhere around 300 boats in this tournament may have had something to do with it. Partner and I fished main lake drops and humps with structure on top and deep water adjacent. Best fish came on C-rig green pumpkin 8" magnum lizards. Most other fish came on a wide variety of chartreuse based medium diving crankbaits. Fished every available hump and drop between Eddy Creek and the canal. In hindsight I should have followed the active fish up into the pockets and creeks and fished VERY shallow. "Flippin' Shallow" from what I can gather from others. Wind and cold front still had me convinced I could catch the deeper fish that would be less affected. Like I said, did catch some good uns but not near the quality I expected.
Hope this helps someone heading that way !!!
