Due to the high water on Priest, we decided to move the May tourney to Old Hickory. My partner for the day would be Steve Becker. We had 4 boats fishing today.
We headed out of Spencer Creek and made a long trip down lake to a small cove down lake and across from Bluegrass and started covering shallow water around some docks, shore grass, and scattered wood. I caught 2 club keepers in the cove and lost a giant that just pulled off.
We then moved up to Bluegrass, and ran the same pattern, but we only caught a couple of fish here.
Next we ran up lake about 3-4 miles to a cut near Avondale. We pitched plastics and spinnerbaits to wood and grass. I was able to round out my limit on this flat, but I did lose a nice 3 lb class fish here.
We checked one spot in Cedar Cr, but no takers here. We now had about one hour left to fish, so we decided to fish in Spencer Creek, near the ramp. I caught my largest fish of the day, which was a chunky 18" largemouth, on the lizard with about 15 minutes left to fish. The fish was sitting ounder a deeper lay down in 3-5 ft of water.
I finished first, and tied with Sam for big fish of the day. It was a nice day on the water. For the day, Steve and I landed around 12 fish.
Tight lines,
RBK
