DONBEATYA'S REPORT-

started throwing spinner baits and crank baits and also pitched brush hogs and jigs to all the submerged trees and nothing. eventually went to swim/hopping a 1/2 white strike king pro-model jig/trailer(w/jj's magic) cought my first bass at around 10:00 on a rocky point from then on i focused on points in about 10ft of water and later on caught 2 more on back to back cast. thats all i managed to snag all day and ended up in 8th out off 14 anglers w/3 fish weighing 5.76 i believe. hers some pics and BRGbassmaster will post his report later when he wakes up:

Sounds like some tough fishing.  Good  to see you didn't come up emty handed.

BRGBASSMASTERS REPORT:

Well the weather is  exactly wht donbeatya said it was. we launched at 7 am and it was cold water was 45 degrees early warmed up to 52 later. i started out  fishing a crankbait with no luck. my boater was fishing a firetiger spinnerbait and catching fish like crazy  he even culled once. i was using a white spinnerbait an as soon as i switched over to firetiger i caught 2  fish quick. we found our fish on points in 5ft of water going into warmer coves slow rolling the spinnerbait off the bottom. i caught  2 bass for 3.45lbs for 12th place i should have  caught 4 fish but lost two. even though i didnt do as good as i hoped it was still awesome to go fish with 3 of my buddies on the first tournament of the yr. it was crazy people caught fish from 25ft of water up to 5ft  but it was fun.
