Istokpoga is really low right now. This has positioned the fish on the edges of the deepest stretches of reeds on the lake. Anywhere where you have a few feet of water to flip you have a good chance of running into a few. While you can catch some flipping a swimming worm, It seemed like a heavier jig created a reaction strike and worked much better than a Texas rig. The shallow stuff is very difficult to get into with the low water. Make sure you are trimmed up and come in slow as you approach reed lines. I wouldn't even mess with the canals. Those fish are long gone.

Very tough tournament day. We caught several smaller fish, and we were able to weigh in 1 decent keeper. The Watermelon Red Fat Ace from Gambler led the way with bites all day. Water levels were much lower than they have been all summer and I think that affected the bite significantly since we could not get back into some of our more productive areas.
