Sunday Morning Away From The Tournament

[rps]

One of the advantages of living on the upper end is that tournaments rarely impact this area. The most you usually see are small, local events. I know some pros run many miles to find the water they want, but it seems they all head to Aunts Creek or other James River or Kings River locations.

I had the lake to myself this morning early. The top water bite was lackluster. 9 fish and none worth a picture.

I started trolling cranks for walleyes and tried various depths from 13 feet to 26 feet. Marked lots of fish but no success. Around 9:30 I started to fish a worm harness.

I picked up bream at 13 feet, some quite large.

At the second location, a flat near Eagle Rock, I caught numerous spots and bream as well as 6 walleye. 3 were keepers.

After noon the jetskis and tube pullers had sobered enough to hit the water and I quit.
