Practice now for 10/10 tourney

[3-Liter]

Last weekend to practice for Club Championship Oct 9-10-11 from Shell Knob.  Only get to fish TR about once every 2 or 3 years, wish I could be there more.  Have scanned archives for last few years Oct reports and been watching this forum.  Any advice about areas to explore now that might be good by Oct?  I know this is a time of change and movement for the fish and with the unusual weather it may be even harder to predict future changes.  Just looking for general info [guesses] what the fish may be doing in 4 weeks.  Will look up Kings river for square bill and flippin bites, and blade fish if windy or cloudy.   Ned or rig fish on long flat points and warts on bluff ends near SK.  Last time championship was on TR I had good pattern in deep brush piles near Baxter but with shallow thermocline not sure if that will work.  Lake is off limits to me from 9/23 until tourney.  Thanks, 3-Liter

My guess is by that time of year the fish should be moving a little shallower and start heading toward the backs of creek arms. Following shad migration. Top water should be in play as well. I would start toward the mouth of the creek and work my way toward the back. Main points and secondary points are a great place to start. Good luck.

Would you look more up the rivers or more in the Shell Knob area? Thanks, 3-Liter

Homer Sloan derby coming up fast and worse yet, the BASS Central Open is here in a couple of weeks. Gonna be hard pressed to get much info here or elsewhere until the Open boys are gone.

you could do what some "elites" do, follow leaders , see what they are doing, and fish around them  slowly working your way closer to their boat  so you can see what they are throwing. get closer and closer to their spot "honey hole" as the day goes on, then on the final day there could be a half a dozen boats "sharing"  that water and then get a prize? isn't that how it's done on TV.lol? 

but seriously ,fish your strengths ,and fish the moment 

good luck

Pete Wenners puts out a detailed video fishing report every Wednesday evening.  He simply tells the truth to the best of his knowledge.  The best guides on the lake are all friends and help each other stay on fish to the great benefit of the clients. I like that Pete's reports are as fair as a hot stove.

Thanks for the info guys.  I did not get down to TR last weekend as intended.  Will be back for our championship Oct 7-8-9-10.  I will look at results from BASS event and I do look at Pete's report.  I will post report after my tourney.  3-Liter
