Music City BFL: We caught lots of bass today just not the right size. Water temps were in the mid sixties and we had lots of wind. The bass were locked down on beds and not many guys caught a limit today. My one "keeper" ended up being 1/8" short - how embarrising. You live and you learn. I'll be looking for some "Fishing Redemption" next tourunament.

Not much happening. Got this one in the yak around 4pm. Went during the middle of the day due to time restrictions on my end. Was nice weather though. The smaller schools of shad are in the middle of the creek channels on the main lake right now. I think he bit on that tube because he had never seen one before. I figured I would try something new, and it worked out. LOTS of boats out on the water along with other Yakers. I am sure they are seeing all kinds of lures lately. Seems we have a TON of people fishing this year compared to last year.
