i fish in a club in tennessee and have had this situation come up a couple times. the way our club works to you have to weigh in one keeper to get points. and there have been days where i did not have a keeper 15 inch largemouth. but the limit for a kentuck bass or (spot) is only 12 inches. there is a rock point in a creek that i like to fish that i can go there anytime of the year and usually catch at least one 12 inch spot regardless of the weather. on a shakey head rig. this is what i do. problem is that i did not find this spot untill half way through the season last year lol

thanks

I go to jackson state in Tennessee. and we don't have a fishing team. i was wondering if there was anyway that a person could go about trying to get one together. if that is even possible. if anybody has any information on this please respond. thank you.

will post here after the tournament. but after today things are looking pretty good. that is if they stay the way they were today. ;D

thanks for all the info guys keep it coming. went out today and did a little fishing. caught a couple fish. i live in tennessee for those that ask. this is a tough tournament to win. the past few years it has taken in the upper 20's in weight to win. the water on the northwest side of the lake was warmer like yall said. just by a little bit. it was bad windy today also. it is supposed to rain sunday so maybe the fish will be turned on saturday.

OK i have a tourny this weekend and i went to the lake today and the water was around 48 degrees give or take a degree in spots. the next two days the temp is going to be in the 70's and then the tournament is saturday. how much do you think this warm weather will make the water warm up. and how do you think it will effect the fish?

i run a skeeter sx200 and i more than likely will only own a skeeter from here on out. they are smooth, fast, and there is tons of room in them. I would highly recomend SKEETER!!

I fished a two day classic last weekend and it was won on a frog in the grass around new johnsonville!

this is not a very big lake? And yes paul you hit the nail on the head. it is beach lake in lexington. My thoughts were that the lake was so low last year that the fish were all just stacked in together. because where you got on a good fish last year you could just about limit out right there. This year i believe sense there is so much water in the lake it has the fish spread all over the place. this may not be the case but i figured i might would have something to do with it.

The lake that i fish near my house has not been producing this year. We have tournaments every thursday evening. Now this time last year, it was taking 20+ pounds to win this tournament every week. There was a cirtain spot on the lake that was a sure spot to catch fish. This spot was a hump in the middle of the lake. Now we had a big drought last year and the lake got really low. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Now this year we have had a good bit of rain. And instead of it taking 20 pounds to win this tournament it is only taking about 7 to 10. Its not only that it is not taking much weight to win the tournaments, it is very hard to catch fish in this lake right now. And that cirtain hump that was a big producer last year. You can't hardly catch a fish there this year. It is almost like the fish have completely disapeared. It is hard to find them on main points or on any structure, drops, flats, humps or any of these fish holding spots. Tell me why you think the lake is not producing.

I know there are a buch of boats already entered up in this tournament. and i am one of them. Just gonna see if anybody on here is planning on fishing in it?

Just wanting to see if anybody on here fishes at beach lake. I live in lexington. And i fish here 3 to 4 times a week. Just wondering if anybody else on here fishes there as well.

I am not sure if anybody on here knows about this topic. But i am in college and i am looking for a college bass tournament team to look into. I live in west tennessee and i am not sure which schools around here may have them. if anybody knows i would love to get some information. thank you.
