Headed out to OHL this morning to do a little practicing for the second to last club tourney of the year next weekend. I was committed to finding some more ledges for the tourney, and I was able to add two to the arsenal.
I started on my marina slips, and it appears that deal is just about done. I caught four fish including two 14"+ keepers, and after thirty minutes, I was gone.
I headed down lake to a ledge that's been good the last few weeks just to check it. After four fish in about 15 minutes, including 3 solid keepers, I decided to start my search for new water. I moved about 2 miles upriver, and started on a main lake drop, but the first 100 yds or so just felt like silted in mud, and I couldn't find any wood or rock in the magic depth. I moved further up the ledge, and I started feeling a rough bottom. I don't know if it was a shell bed or an old roadbed, but it was a key deal. I caught six fish off of this stretch, and two of them were solid OHL keepers.
Next, I went further up and set up on a ledge at the mouth of a creek, and I found a good bit of scattered wood in 6-10 ft, but the only fish I caught here were small.
From here, I went to the creeks to try my flippin and crankin deals, and neither one worked. I did find two keeper fish on a secondary ledge in the creeks.
I hit two more main lake ledges before I left, but no luck.
It was a good practice day. I added two new spots to my milk run for Saturday, and my best five would have gone around 11 lbs. I'd take that on tourney day.
I'll report back next week.
