Heard it took 28# sack to win tourney today! They are pulling TONS of water

Wish we could have found em like that !  We had a TOUGH day.  2 small fish.  They are pulling tons of water and lots of floating trash!  235,000 cfm

That really surprises me. Were they all caught on The Rig?

Sorry road warrior never got a report on what they were caught on

Second place had a 26# sack

WOW!  We sucked!  But no A-rigs either!  Didn't even find a bunch of shad.  Water was 47-49.  We fished all in Yellow Creek.

I haven't got to go in a while, and with baseball season about to begin I'm going to be busy but I'm ready to get after it

Yeah it was the a rig that was catchin em. I have went a couple times here recently but haven't been very successful. Caught some nice stripers and a couple largemouths

Do you know where they were catching them?  Maybe just a depth range, or key feature?

 

Jef

to be honest im not sure, the ones i've caught have been anywhere between 15 & 25ft. just found some schools on my depth finder and starting chunking at em ha. with the water up like it is i wonder where they caught em myself. 

We caught our fish in 15-20 FOW close to a creek channel drop.  Never found any solid schools of baitfish to speak of. Wondering if the rise in water has them spread out.  Seemed the thermocline was at ~ 30ft.

Talked with another friend last night. Besides some nice bag weights Saturday,

they included two 8+ and 11+.  Not a lot of bites from what I gather. As usual,

ya gotta find the fish! This is another reason The Rig is so effective, covering

a lot of water.

 

Woo-Hoo! 

Main lake points is the report I got about the big sacks. Suspended jerks &  deep cranks is what another friend said but Im sure some were A-Rig. Like said before those that found the schools were lights out, others had a tough day..

 

They have had some big sacks this winter out of this tournament trail!  http://pwbt.webs.com/apps/photos/
