We had our July tourney on OHL Saturday. We blasted off at 5:10 am and headed to a main lake hump, but with no current running, the fish were not there. After 15 minutes of chunkin and windin, we headed down to a marina to catch some small ones to get on the scorebord. The marina appears to be losing fish every week. We only caught around 10 on the wacky worm, and I only managed two small keepers here.
Next we headed to a secondary drop inside of the same creek, and I grabbed three other small keepers here. I now had a small limit of around 5 lbs, so it was off to the ledges to upgrade. We ran down lake to a main river channel drop and fished it for an hour or so. The fish were not biting very well, but we managed three fish on the rig here, and my non-boater snagged the big fish of the day, which was a healthy 20", 4 1/2 lb largemouth.
I was stuck on 5 lbs, so we headed back up-lake to fish a major creek. We pulled up on a point, and I immediately caught a solid 2 lb fish on the rig. We stayed on this spot for about 45 minutes, and we caught around 8 fish. I was able to cull three more times here, but they were not much help.
We moved around some more, and I decided to go shallow and flip for a while. We caught 4-5 more flippin, but no help to my bag.
We headed in at 12:30. My bag weighed 7.6 lbs, which was good for 3rd place. My non-boater had three keepers including the big fish of the tourney, which won him a little cash.
I was able to maintain my lead in the points race, which currently stands at around 9 lbs with two events to go. Old Hickory again in two weeks, and then KY Lake in Sept.
Until next time.
