Deep Bite is Really Good!

12.6.19

The little club tourney was held this past Friday.  While I filled the boat with dropshotting and jighead fish, my partner could't get a bite.  We fished on the south side of the lake.
Here is the write up:

Our outing today produced 29 legal bass, 3 shorts, 2 perch and a catfish. Of the 29 legal bass caught 2 teams caught 19 of them leaving 10 for the other 4 teams. Today the spoon bite failed, was it the overcast sky, did we need the sun for that bite to work? Did Mr. Deep struggle? The winning team of Mitch & Bruce caught 9 bass, had the winning team score of 81 1/4" plus Mitch's 19" to win the big bass pot - a clean sweep. They caught them all trolling in 30' to 50' depths. One team caught 10 bass on drop shot and if were not for the 3/2 rule would have won with 81 3/4". Team scores as follows:
  • 1st place Bruce & Mitch with 81 1/4" (19", 16", 15 1/2", 15 1/2", 15 1/4"), also had 14 1/2", 14 1/4", 14 1/4", 13 3/4".
  • 2nd place Mark & Walker with 65" (13 1/2", 15 3/4", 17 1/2", 18 1/4"), also had 3 shorts. 3 legal bass on spoons.
  • 3rd place Charles & Gary with 62 1/2" (15 1/4", 15 1/4", 13 1/4" 18 3/4"), also 2 perch and a catfish. 3 on drop shot.
  • 4th place Chandler & Jerry with 50 1/2" (17 1/2", 16 1/2", 16 1/2"), also had 16", 15 1/4", 15 1/4", 14" 13 1/4", 13", 13 1/2" on drop shots.
  • 5th place Garrison & Tom with 15 1/4".
  • 6th place Bart & Doug with 14 1/2".
The fish continued biting at the north end as I ventured out to Crow Creek on Sunday 12.8.19.  Cold east wind hit me as I drove up to Crow Creek to investigate cuts and creeks in the 60" range.

I wasn't disappointed as I boated 18 fish in 3 hours.

They also ate the dropshot with a Megabass Hazedong and I dragged/shook a 1/4 oz jighead with a Zman Hulastickz in The Deal on the bottom.

Water temp was 64 degrees up here and low 60's on the south end of the lake.   Gotta love this time of year!
