Sunday tournament

[skillet]

Sunday tournament starts this Sunday, take off is Safe light and fish to noon. $30/boat unless you’re by yourself then it’s $20 I think, plus a small club fee. It’s like $20-25 also. At the end of the year there is a two day fishoff that pays well. It’s a great little tournament with 20-30 boats in it, so come on out and donate your money and have some fun!!

They may as well fish since they can't play foot ball.

That stadium would make a good lake.

No club name. It’s ran by the same guy that does the old hickory Percy Priest club tournament. His name is Junior. Great guy. I’m pretty sure there’s been more professional tournaments occur in Alabama than Tennessee. AND UT sucks so bad the city of Knoxville had to PAY a large amount of money to get them there so that there can finally be some entertainment!!

That’d be sweet, but I’m a realist, if I catch one this year I’ll be happy. My problem is I always catch the bigguns fun fishing, never in a tournament. 🤷🏻*♂️ oh well.

How'd the tournament go? I was going to try to make it but I was in a wedding yesterday so it was a little difficult trying to wake up...

Well, it was very tough fishing. We only caught two fish but they were enough for 2nd place and first place big fish. I didn’t have a bite, my partner caught them and I played net man. It be like that sometimes.

That’s him. Temp was 47-50 and color was chocolate to dingy. It got worse as the day went on.

Not bad for two fish, congrats. What did he catch them on and where at, Front,back, mid creeks or main points etc......

[skillet]

Main mid lake, main lake points on a red rat l trap. There was a distinct mudline where they came from.

Good job

[skillet]

Didn’t take any pics this week, we had 3 for 6lbs. Caught fish on spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Caught them all day long, off rocky banks. Two of the fish looked like they had swallowed softballs they were so fat!! Winner had 11lbs and a big beautiful smallmouth.

Had 5.85 in our three fish Sunday. 3rd was 6.40 I believe, big fish was 6.50, 8.90 won it I believe. Went out Saturday and caught some nice fish, had a limit by 8am. Lost some really nice fish both days. Never had a fish really eat the crankbait. All of them just had the back hook and just barely hooked. They’re just slapping at it. I’ve changed hooks, lighter action rod, slowed the retrieve, sped it up, loosened drag, even changed from fluorocarbon to mono. I tried a more natural color and didn’t get bit, picked up the chartreuse crank again wham, fish on. It’s getting about time to put it down and pick up a spinner bait or swim jig though. But I’m puzzled at the fish I’ve lost over the weekend and don’t know what else to do to execute and get the fish in the boat!

Didn’t take pics of Sunday fish but here’s some from Saturday

That’s the crank I’ve done my “damage” on. At the bottom of the pic is a sexxxy shad that just won’t get touched...

Got the W this past Sunday with 8.40, and won big fish with only a 3.80. There was only 10-12 boats in it though, so that was a little disappointing. But getting a win is great regardless.

Thanks!! I’d like to get up on Dale Hollow myself, but I’m working 12hr shifts and it’s killing my spare fishing time. Lol The fish are starting to migrate towards the backs of pockets and creeks. Everything we weighed in was on a spinnerbait.

Yum Yum! My kinda bite. Congrats again and thanks for the information. I'll be getting back up to Dale Hollow after this tournament. I work nights and my free days to fish right now are like Wednesday-Saturday usually but always Friday and Saturday right now. If any of those days work and you want me to show you around up there then just holler. I'll take you anytime I'm free

I’m on second shift now and it’s screwing with me. I’d love to get out there with you, but it’s just not worth the hassle right now because I’d get up at 6am, drive an hr or more to dale hollow and have to be at work at 4pm. So I’d have to leave around 2pm. And that makes me sad!!! Lol. But I do appreciate the offer.

The fog kept us at the dock till almost 9am. We got to our area and started fishing. Had 2 keepers fairly quick but the sun was getting bright fast and there was no wind to be had. Water temp had fallen to 56 but it warmed up quickly and saw 60 by the end of the day. Never did see a bed or anything trying to spawn. I thought the full moon would’ve turned them on for sure but that polar vortex and rain really killed the vibe like my wife with a headache!!!! 😂 Only weighed two keepers but we ended up getting second big fish, so that’ll give us another free weekend of fishing!

5/12/19- Locked a spinnerbait in my hand for most of the day. We had 12-15 keepers all day but they didn’t amount to much. Had 6.70 out of the 3 fish, 7.50 got paid, 10.40 won it. Did catch some fish off of some submerged brush in about 12’ on a brush hog, but they didn’t help either.

The last two weeks have been pretty bad. Last week we didn’t have a keeper all day. Week before we had 2 small 14” fish and we through them back. It was nice to kinda bounce back after those rough days. We just gotta find the bigger fish.

Sounds like a fun day, money or not. Keep on digging, you'll find the hawgs sooner or later. Also, I really like the orange on your T&H hat.
GO VOLS!
