Who ya Pickin? Redcrest on the Rock.

No run off so I went right to the catchin. 

I played a game and fished 5 hours. That’s 2 MLF periods at 2:30 hours a period. 

I played a bit with a jerk bait and a Magdraft but I caught and weighed right at 55/56 pounds using 2 pounds as a keeper. 

I believe I had 24 keepers. 

Not  going to say where I fished but if you know the Rock you can figure it out.

Surface temp all day was 63/64 degree with about 6’ of visibility.  Overcast with breeze, you could not invent a better day for Table Rock.

 

Really I could have just thrown the trolling motor down and not even started the big engine but I chased the windy banks  

 

Here is the main takeaway, the Kentucky’s came in.  They were in the flat coves and all over flat gravel in 14’ and under.  

They were absolutely not there yesterday!

Talked to Eric today and we think it’s going to take 150 pounds for the 2 day qualifying round to make the 10 man fish off on Sunday. 

That’s 75 pounds per day. I don’t know if I could do it but I think I could catch 125 in two days if I could keep from doing stupid stuff. 

Saw DC, Michael Neil, Dru Gill and a bunch of others. Saw Evers going in the back of short pockets, looking for beds. That is not going to do it when you can catch 2 pounders at the rate they’re biting. 

We’ll see if it’s true but word is some of these guys are catching 50 plus keeps a day. 

The K’s are all the same 2.3 to 2.8. The Jaw’s were close to 3 pounds. 

My thumb looks like hamburger 🍔

It would be interesting to see if you could just get on a 200 yard section of flat  gravel and not catch some. 

 

 I could probably help you out with that. 😄
