We had our club tourn. Saturday, kind of disappointing for me. I caught a few shorts throughout the day on black grape zoom ribbon tail worms and junebug senko cut-tails. I had two nice fish follow my spinnerbait first thing in the morning, but they wouldn't take it. Missed three good bites on the cut-tails in the morning also. My partner caught three small keepers on swimming senko's, broke two fish off - (bad spots on his line I guess), and he missed a couple too. We started at the open water hydrilla, then went back into the pad fields with some mats mixed in, and hit a few other spots. Coming off that front they just weren't taking the bait in all the way and I think it was a better afternoon bite. The winning sack was 12 1/2 pounds including big fish @ 7.14 pounds caught on a fluke. We had 33 people and only four us zeroed but there weren't many fish brought in. I don't think I did anything wrong it just was one of those days I guess. Saving em for this Saturday, that's my excuse!!
We quit at 1:30 so our junior members could have a tournament the same day while we had enough boats. One of the guys who was on some nice big fish last week said he had just started seeing them move up towards the shallows / beds before he came in. The kids apparently did pretty well from what I heard, we had 22 kids and they brought in some nice bags including a 5.9 pounder caught where my partner and I were fishing. I didn't stick around since I had to pick up my son that afternoon.
