Mike jones Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We fished the first Everett tourney of the year and had a pretty decent day. Had 14.42 and finished 9th out of 166 boats. Had around 15 keepers total. Water temp was in the low 50's about everywhere we were around prairie creek. Crankbait did most of the damage with a few on a grub and jerkbait.

Quillback Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That's pretty good for a blue sky cold front day. Do you know what the winning weight was? Mike jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanG Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Congrats mike! Good to hear you guys did well. I was up on bull shoals and had around 15 pounds up there, was surprised they were biting so well but sure wasn't complaining! Haha Mike jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolicious Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Congrats Mike - and congrats to Brock and Ronnie as well! Ever heard of an old saying about "don't catch a keeper on the first cast of the day" or something like that? I caught a 2.75 on the first cast of the SEASON last Saturday, and didn't sniff another keeper all day hahaha!!! we ended up with 3.7 or so (my fish and my partner's squeaker spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump bumper Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I don't know how legal it is in a tournament but when you get stuck on Beaver and have a little wind drag a jig. I have noticed all those fish setting on bottom are bass 90 % of the time. This time of the year a ned rig or for sorting out for bigger fish bigger jig dragged slowly across the bottom where you see fish sitting on bottom. I don't bother to cast and reel, too much work I just let the wind and boat do the work. I must have caught 30 bass the other day in 20-30 feet while watching boats beat the shore. I offered several times to give up the school to a passing boat but nobody wanted deep fish. My belief is the crawfish are deep and easy to get when they come out of the rocks, the trick here is you have to drag rocks not sand.

Members razorbackfan4life Posted March 3, 2017 Members Share Posted March 3, 2017 Saturday's tournament should be a good one. Clear skies but the wind should be 10-15 from the south with gusts towards 25. Curious to see the quality of fish brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
