We had our last Tinboat Tourney of the year today. Ony had five boats show up but we fished anyway.   Took out of Boliver landing, water as cold 44 and dirty, so I ran straight to the Dam, and water was much clearer and hanging around 50 degrees. We ended up with 13.18 for our best five with a 4lb in the mix.   A-rig, Ned,  Wacky, Jig.  Hodgepoge of baits, we just kinda threw what looke good at the moment.  Big fish and a couple others were on the A-rig in about 15-20ft on windy bluffy banks. Lost a few nice ones and had some very nice ones follow the Rig all the way to the boat.  Didnt see hardly any shad at all.

Went out this morning from 7:30-12:30, would have stayed longer but out of the 4 cranks i tried and the 3 i had trolling only one got bit and i lost it.   Ended up with 3 nice keepers. a 18 3/4, 19 1/2, and a 22 1/4, and aso a short one mixed in.
Started trolling at 1.7 mph and picked up one real quick, then my trolling batteries died after 1 hour, so i had to fire up the Opti. Trolled between 2.7 and 3.1 and picked up the other 2 keepers and the short. Kept the boat in 27-34 feet of water and my crank would just tick the bottom at 28ft.   All fish were in a quarter mile stretch of each other, wish i could have stayed longer!!!!
