I filled in for Dwayne's regular team partner yesterday on OHL. Due to the muddy water on the main channel we decided to head to the back of a major creek to see what we could find. We only had one blow up on a frog (swing and a miss) early, so around 7 am we headed out to try some ledge fishing.
We hit three ledges in the mid lake area and caught around 5 short fish, but the bait was nowhere to be found, and it was obvious that the main lake deal was not working. Backs of the creeks didn't work and out wide wasn't happening, so we went looking in the first half of the creeks. We finally settled down on a shallow point near a creek mouth, and we caught our limit of just over 8 lbs in a couple of hours- 3 came on a rattle trap and 2 on a spinnerbait. We caught around 15-20 fish on the day with 5 keepers. No big fish.
We ended up finishing 5th or 6th and just out of the money.
I didn't find much to help me next weekend in the 2 day BWS Divisional due to the muddy water on the main channel. But, I did find a decent shallow deal that may work next weekend. If I can catch 5 keepers up in the creek early I would feel pretty good about my chances of upgrading out wide.
No more practice this week. I'll just have to go with what I know and make the right adjustments next weekend.
Later
