Has The Bass Bite Exploded?

[riverfish86]

Coming down to fish a tournament this Saturday. Those that are lucky enough to be out there, how is the bite coming along?

I helped with a weigh in last weekend during the rain on Saturday 3/4 of the baots weighed in most had 5 fish, 29.98 won the tourny about 10 or more 5#+ fish big fish was 8.56. Seemed everyone that fished in the rain caught fish, mostly heard guys fishing the backs of coves in 10 fow or less pulling a spinner when the rain let up and jigging a worm or plastic when it was pouring. From the looks of it you will be in the rain again this weekend, good luck.

well, I haven't been up there at all this week, but I'm sure I'll see you at the lake tomorrow, good luck! (unless your fishing the same tourney as me, then just ok luck.)

Well how did you do? I don't fish tourny's, it just takes something I really enjoy doing and turns it into work. I would however love to fish the crappiemasters.net tourny for a living. To think about it fishing is about the only thing I am doing right now since I have been out of work for the last three months, so its kind of like work except its alot easier to get up to go fishing then it ever was to go to work.

Fished on Saturday the 1st and caught some nice fish. Had 3 keeps for 8.30 lb. Lost 2 keepers at the boat that would have givin me a nice 12 lb stringer or so. All on spinnerbait except the two I lost were on a chigger craw.

Caught a lot of short fish (14.5") on spinnerbait.
