TBT Trail- Center Hill 4-17-11- Ouch that hurt!...
Wow, did we ever suck on Center Hill Sunday! I was not able to find much in practice last weekend, but the one decent bite I found did pay off early, when Dwayne stuck a 2 3/4 lb LM on the spinnerbait deep on a bluff. We felt pretty good to have a solid keeper in the first hour, but nothing happened for the next four hours at all. We bounce around from deep to shallow to in-between. We threw crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, rigs, and worms.
We finally stumbled on to an area holding some decent spots that was at the end of a bluff mid-lake. The spots were holding in 6-15 ft of water on a transition area. I caught a solid 13 1/2" spot on a blade, and DD nabbed a 12" one on a rig. We stayed on the spot for and hour or so, and then we decided to go try to run that pattern until weigh in. We were in all out speed fishing, scramble mode. We couldn't duplicate it anywhere else, so we loaded her on the trailer at 3 pm, and took our well deserved beating from the other anglers.
We ended up with 3 keepers for just over 5 lbs, and I'm sure we were close to last. We didn't stick around, but Dwayne did say that he saw an 18 lb and 14 lb bag in line.
Oh well- some days it's just not in the cards, and this one was obviuosly not our day.
Until next time.

April 2nd, 2011 F3 Club tourney- Priest...
Another tough day on Priest. My plan to run to a major creek down lake and catch a limit of club keepers didn't pan out. We only had two in there. Other than that, we just covered water with the little shad rap. I was able to scratch out a limit that weighed around 8.5 lbs, which was good for first place.
The key was finding big chunk rock, boulders, and flat rocks at the head of a spawning area.
Conditions: 38-67 deg air temp and mostly sunny; wind NNW at 10-20 MPH; 52-56 deg water temp (mostly clear).
