Mike jones Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Winter series tourney took over 20 pounds to win..talked to the guy that got 3rd and he had over 30 keepers!!
Stump bumper Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I also saw a lot of people going home early because they didn't have a keeper. IMO fishing North of RT 12 was slow unless you were deep and off shore. Just what I saw.
J-Doc Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Funny thing about local tournaments on Beaver...... The top 5 are usually far out in front of everyone else. The top 10 have about 10-12lbs at least and after that it falls sharply to 8lbs, 6lbs, and then the remaining 100+ or so boats get less than 5lbs. The guys that win are no doubt, good and find a pattern that was very productive for them. For me, I could go with those guys, that same day, use their rods and their baits and STILL not catch that kind of weight. Some guys just have a knack for certain baits and can feel or see bites better than the next guy. Some guys excel on spoons, some on jigs, some on cranks. Me? I have not found mine yet. LOL I will say the bite has seen peaks lately. Up and down. I lost a 3-4lb bass at the boat yesterday. Not sure if it was a smallmouth or largemouth. I saw it a few times and when it jumped and spit the hook when I tried to lift it in. Don't know what I was thinking lifting it.........complete moment of stupidity. Need marine repair?

fishinwrench Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It's all about the mental attitude, J-Doc. Ya gotta quit trying to rationalize and make sense of it. Science will blind you. It is always some piddly little detail that you discover by accident that results in a better than average sack of fish, so just bumble around for days without any plans or theory's. Try not to care very much whether you catch a fish or not and allow the little accidents to happen.
Champ188 Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I know the guys well who won it and they posted on FB that they caught their fish on football jigs with the new Big Bite Battle Bug trailer, along with a McStick jerkbait. Their fish came from the lower end and included a 4.87 smallmouth. Ham 1
J-Doc Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Yes I saw the same info. BassX jigs and McStick jerkbaits. No magic baits. Just good fishing execution. The guys are good too.

Guest Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Is there a list from that tournament? curious as to who won & what all the weights are.
Mike jones Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 I will try to get the results from the winter series tourney..talked to the guy that runs it and he said nearly every boat had a limit except 3-4. I don't know about you guys, but when 2 guys in one boat catch over 30 keepers on Beaver in one day, I would say they are chewing pretty good.
Champ188 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Justin McClelland and Michael Hubbard won it. That's all I know as far as who finished where.
