6/10-11 weekend

[Dewayne French]

SAT----Water Temp was flat on 80 everywhere I checked. Clear main lake some stain in the bigger coves/creeks. I didn't venture to far from the main channel, never run up the creeks arms. Sat I fished solo and was just looking around for a pattern for my boys (NYFA) high school championship for Sunday. Lake was very busy as the PTA (NYFA) was going on and other tournaments. After the showers went though I got out with my looking baits, topwaters, and moving baits to look for active fish. I also checked some brush piles with the normal baits. Not much activity for me on anything at any depth or time. Finally did find some fish on a frog, they was chasing balls of shallow shad in the back of pockets around stick ups, also several on a wacky rig. My biggest fish of the day was a 3.5 lb fat LMB that hit a wobble head off a point everything else was skinny and thin looking. 

SUN-- Same 80 degree temp with rain just passing though before our 6:30 start time. 1st stop was going to be a point with some brush on it to toss a top water over and take advantage of the low light and wind, but it all ready had 2 boats on it. So we went to our 2nd option a clear water deeper smallmouth point to try top water and look for schoolers.  With nothing on top we tossed a wobble head and got the first keeper. Left that area and ran to the frog fish area, no bites no fish in that spot and nothing happening at that area. We made a move to a channel swing with several points in close proximity and I had the boys change to a weighted wacky rig, that was a good call they had 9 keepers in a about a 3 hour period. Our 4 fish limit had a really good SMB and 3 LMB and we culled a couple of times, then it just flat quit, not another bite after the 12:30-1 time frame. We hoped around here and there after that and even fished some old history places all in all a great day for the boys.

Weigh-in started at 2:15 our check in time was 2:30 and we had our 4-fish limit, but after our decent day I figured some team would have a 12 lb bag. The winning weight was 10.80 and BB at 5.73. My boys came in 15th at 8.09, not bad for the 4 fish limit. I enjoyed the year with the boys and our school team had a great showing. Thanks JP for the help really a great bunch of people who enjoy helping the next group that will take over for us.
