  5. I fished 2 1/2 days of the big bass tour around the Indian Point Area. Friday morning their was heavy fog so I started close to the resort I stayed at. I started with a jerkbait and caught one short Smallmouth on a point. No other signs of life so I decided to try a jewel finesse jig around some docks near the point. Boom I got a solid hit and set the hook on a Largemouth that would later win the hour I weighed her in! When she swam away from the dock another Largemouth about the same size was with her. I figured I had a good pattern to run but unfortunately no other keeper fish for the day. Second morning I started in the same spot. Again I started on the point but tried a slow sinking rip/slash bait and caught one Short spot. I approached the dock and on the first cast Boom a solid hit and I set the hook on a Largemouth that would later get me a 3rd place finish for the hour. I left the dock settle for about 5 minutes and circled back. I made 4-5 casts and another Thump, I set the hook and this fish was pulling the hardest. As I got the first glimpse of her I saw she was a nice bronze back. I scooped her in the net and boy what a pretty fish! This would get me a 5 place finish for another hour. I went on to fish more docks but only found short fish the rest of the day. Sunday morning I knew my odds of catching another by the dock would be slim but I had to try! No luck and could not buy a bite so I called it a day around 10:30. Here are the pictures of each keeper fish along with the weigh in results for the hours I weighed in (Jeff Markovich). The dock I fished was the first one in on a point. It was on a steeper Bank and had a short walkway. The fish were under the first slip so I estimate 8ft of Water. I tried to find other docks in the Indian point area that were similar but they only produced some shorts. Looking back I probably should have tried in between the docks and more on the points trying different depth ranges. I only get to fish TR a couple times a year so I learn a lot each time I go. I will post some go pro video later once I edit the footage just to fish catches.
  6. I weighed this 4lb Smallmouth in today
  7. I will be fishing all 3 days. Hopefully I can bring some across the weigh in stage!
  8. Awesome fishing and report guys! It's pretty nice having so many stellar fisheries within a 3-4 hour drive of where I live. TR is a challenging lake and it keeps me coming back for more.
  9. That’s a nice chunk! Congrats
  10. Stockton & Table Rock have plenty of shad/craws/gills/etc so I don't think competition is an issue. I agree that a limit of spots typically won't win you a tournament though. You have to adjust your tactics and location to target the LM on Table Rock. This I am still learning.........
  11. Awesome bag & a ChampioN to boot!
  12. Putting one of prize possessions up for sale I just don't use it enough. Great deal if your looking to try a Clutch for the first time:
  13. Sold sold sold Up for sale is a barely used like new Clutch Archipelago 9ft, 7wt, 4 piece fly rod. Comes with rod tube and sock shipped for $450.00 in the USA Now $400!. This is an amazing streamer rod I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it. I accept paypal and will ship via Fedex with tracking and insurance. These rods are north of $700!
  14. Nice fish!
  15. I have a 2009 Champion 186 Fish Hunter going up for sale in the next few weeks. 150 Merc. Opti. I will have it at the Big Bass Tour event next Thursday-Sunday at the Rock.
  16. Fish were probably still suspending for the most part. That’s my guess anyways.
  17. I would go in settings and restore to factory defaults. If that does not clear it I would make sure the unit has the latest software update. If still no luck call Humminbird support.
  18. Or you want us to drill holes in our spooks lol!
  19. The A rig is clearly a controversial topic and will continue to be. I do not believe anyone can pick it up and go catch a 20 lb sack in a tournament with it. Their is an art to it just like fishing any other lure or plastic. I myself don’t fish it and that’s my choice but I won’t bad mouth an angler across the lake throwing it, that’s their choice. I have confidence in other lures and believe I can catch the same quality of fish using these as an A rig. Let’s see what wins the big bass tour in a few weeks I bet a lot people will say the A rig. Regarding fizzing a fish I prefer to do it between the crushers and above the throat hole. It’s not a hard procedure and if you don’t know how I suggest you learn it especially fishing the Rock. Their are some good YouTube videos on this subject and a hyperdermic needle is all you need to do it. Tight lines.
