we had our club tourny at lake o on saturday. being that it is summer we choose to only have a 3 fish limit and we changed our times from safe light to 3 to 10 to 7. my partner and i went north and crushed them. we caught over 100 fish and ended the day with a 3 fish weight of 13.39. we had a 6, 4, and a 3 pounder. we thought we had a good shot of winning, but another team came in with a whopping 17.79 pounds, 3 fish. they had a 7, 6, and a 4. we ended up in second.

every fish we caught was on a lipless crank. there were at least 20 boats that were either in the same area or came and left, and every one of them were pitching or using a slow presentation. i still can't believe that nobody swithed over to a lipless, because all of thse boats saw my partner and i whackin 'em.

lucky for us i guess. most of the fish were caught on the outside grass lines. the bigger ones were caught in wind blown entrances. the lake is hot!

Thanks, I will be sure to have a lipless crank on for the FLPG tournament this weekend. Congrats on the 2nd place finish.

It's from safe light to 3 and I am kinda dreading about how hot it's going to be. <pulling out my big, floppy sun hat>

Sounds awesome!  I may change my plans and go out of Okee Tantie this week instead of Lox.  Are you fishing the Big O at all this week?

I think it's great that your club goes to a 3 fish tournament this time of year and I will be fishing the same tournament this weekend

I fished the lake saturday. I caught a 5.1 on a buzz bait at like 6:45. I ended up flipping later and caught good quality. Caught a couple 4's too.

17 lbs with 3 fish is crazy.

Question: On the NE side of the lake, there used to be an area nick named "Radio Tower" because of a radio tower of shore. Does this area still exist after the hurricanes? I can't find it on the map and hubby hasn't been in the area for years beffore the hurricanes.

We are checking in Thursday at the host hotel and try to get a little pre-fishing in on Friday.

cowgirl, where are y'all launching from?

Is that near J&S? I only ask because there is a tower of some sort on the dike right near the J&S lock. you can see it from a pretty good distance.

I think thats the one. We weren't sure if the hurricanes took it out or not, Thank you very much.
