OHL Sat 7-31....

These are the three best from the Hick today. All were caught on ledges in 8-14 ft in mid-lake areas.

We only caught around 10 fish, but the quality was there.

Until next time.

F3 July tourney- OHL 7-24....

Met my partner at the ramp around 5 am, and we headed upriver to a main lake hump to see if we could get a couple of active ones early. No dice here, so we moved across the channel to a main river bank littered with deep wood to try to nail a big one. Only one bite here, but it was a solid 15 1/4" largehaed.

From here I moved into a creek to fish some boat slips with my little wacky worm to try to catch a quick limit of little uns. No such luck. I did nail a 13 1/4" LM here and one short fish. We messed around shallow for around an hour, but it clearly wasn't happening.

We made a long run downlake to ledge fish for a while, but it was fruitless. We burned a lot of gas and time.

Around 10:00 I decided to run back upriver to the deep wood spot from early morning. We banged around on this one bank for the last two hours, and I was able to scratch limit of "club keepers" along with a solid 16 1/4" largemouth on the big worm.

Headed in at noon with a small limit of five weighing 7.55 lbs. Apparently it was tough on everyone. Second place was 2 1/4 lbs. I won first place and got the big fish money. All in all, it was a decent day considering how tough and hot it was.

I closed the gap in the AOY standings to around 7.5 lbs with two to go. It will be really tough to win it, but I have a shot if I can catch limits the last two events or bust a big sack in one of them.

Until next time.
