We won a local derb out here fishing pondweed with jerkbaits and traps. We only got 5 keeper bites all day, but they were the right ones totaling out at 11.90 pounds.

We were catching wipers on wind-blown points throwing single swimmers and a-rigs. Having livescope was key to finding the big schools. Hang on because they demolish it!!

Rough tournament for me. 43rd out of 75 boats. Caught one keeper and multiple short fish with shakey heads and some on wacky rigs. Most fish were spawning or paired up about to spawn.

Popping the Rage Cut-r across the rocks on points yielded lots of decent bass, including this ugly guy!

We were targeting walleyes, found catfish. They pull well, and it felt good to hook up with 4 pound cats first time out.

Most of the fish we found were in anywhere between 3'-7' of water. Vertically jigging between the vegetation seemed to work the best with a bobby garland/mr. crappie skirt
