Hey guys,

 

I have a tournament coming up in a few weeks and my 20 hp motor just quit working, so I am stuck fishing the tournament with a trolling motor only. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the tournament or have any suggestions on what to do? We are launching out of McKees run launch area.

 

Thanks for any advice

 

what day is your tournament? Is it a partner tournament?

Partner tournament on the 22nd of June.

go north up the lake toward the flagpole lunch. throw senkos around the peninsula that is there.. also at the no fishing bouys at the marina on the way up to that lunch throw a jig on the bottom. there are giant boulders on the bottom right under the buoys.... I fish Glendale a lot and my boat has a 40hp so im stuck using my trolling motor too..... I work my way up to the causeway.. try to make it there in four hours then fish crankbaits out deeper on your way back

also look into joining the patton bass club. its right there beside Glendale. those guys there are the best bass anglers in the state and a good group of guys

Thanks for the advice. Were you up fishing that big tournament today?

naw... like I said I cant use my big motor so I only fish club tournaments there... entry fee was way too much for me to try to place in the money while only using my trolling motor. especially in the wind we had today.... my uncle fished it but only weighted four fish

We fished it. We fished up around the causeway and caught a limit but they only weighed in at 5.11 pounds.

nice.... what did u catch em on? I got a night tournament there next Friday night...

we caught them on a little bit of everything...mostly jigs and senkos.

nice stuff.... its really hard to beat a senko on that lake. the bass there love them....

Yes they do...I always seem to catch one on a senko even on a tough day.

I may disagree overall with the first part

 

I don't doubt the second part though. Used camp up that way growing up and met a bunch of really cool guys.

Hows the night fishing at Glendale? I haven't ever gone out night fishing, any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I could get a good topo map of Glendale?

Its not big enough for a topo, google earth with usgs plugn shows very little contor changes

 

Google earth and the plugin are both free
