roy_eros Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I can assure you guys that at least one major tournament has been won this year on the lower end of the lake. There is still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brian c Posted April 18, 2016 Members Share Posted April 18, 2016 Pretty sure some of the big sacks in some of the winter series came from the pontiac theodosia area. We had a good trip in the first wbot fishing all day in Oakland finished 5th and not too far out of first. This was before the arig bite got going good. Couple years back when they were running the get5 winter series we won the first one and never got more than a 5 minutes boat ride from bullshoals dock. Keep in mind alot of winter series rotate out of Buck creek, peel, or diamond city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good enough at the wheel to run my boat at 70 MPH thru that slop. I was struggling to push it to 63 MPH and taking a pounding doing that. I was basically crossing wakes at WOT for 20 solid minutes. The waves were braided together coming from all directions rebounding of the bluffs. It got better by the time you got past Music Creek. It was still pretty crappy for us well after the left turn at Oakland. I have a few years at the helm and I only got passed by one boat. It was tough sledding. I passed at least 5 other boats, but again that's largely a function of the number of ponies. I wasn't pulling my boat, I was just trying to hang on.

Sprint21fter Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Saw those 350's too! They didn't pass us, they kept their cats caged up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob P Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 We saw you guys buzzing around the main bay with 1-2 footers. We fished the wind and tried to not let it bother us.. It was a tough bite but we managed to catch fish jigging, trolling and tossing cranks. Lotsa small fish which helped combat the conditions. * We were not in your tourney.. I fish a crestliner which felt at home with the waves and wind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysmallie Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 My first Central Pro-Am tournament as an amateur was on Bull. The second morning it was 28 degrees up by the dam and we fished the K-dock area. Did pretty good too. If I would have been with that guy the first day too I would have made some money. But It was a cold trip in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
