Fishing at Varner has been good over the past week. Last weekend Doghouse and myself placed third in a two day tournament. We caught all of our fish except one sight fishing with jigs. We were over four pounds behind after a tough first day where we broke off and lost a big fish that would have won it twice. We came back with a big sack on the second day around twenty pounds but were still around a pound short. We had been on a roll winning tournaments and our luck had to run out sooner later. :'( I was on the lake everyday this week and we got a least a six pound or better fish every day except one. There are big fish on beds now all over the lake and big fish cruising the shallows looking for bedding areas. We have a full moon coming up  this week which will bring another big wave of fish shallow and on beds. The best baits for these bigger fish have been Matt's bluegill and white jigs. Also some of the fish that spawned in March/early April have recovered and are starting to feed again. Senkos and trickworms fished in postspawn areas have been the best baits so far for these fish but a great topwater bite could start any day. I also got to fish with Burley and Beast from this site on Saturday. It was nice to meet and fish with two guys from here. They were a pleasure to fish with and Beast caught a beast of a fish. ;D I would tell the story but I will let them tell it. They have a bunch of photos so look for their post in the next couple of days.  The photo is four of our fish we caught last Sunday in the tournament. I believe our biggest fish was just short of eight pounds.

Nice job guys. Keep tearin em up!
