pre fished for the Tennessee Bass Federation State championship. We had scattered clouds with no wind so we decided to find hydrilla patches in 8 to 15 feet of water. Adjusted leader length and found a 3 foot leader was optimal to drag my bait thru the grass. Was able to get a few short fish and caught a 3 lbs 8 oz Large mouth. We found several grass areas that were productive

Day 1 of the Tennessee Bass Federation State Tournament. Conditions changed with cloudy conditions most of the day with light wind. Caught a few small ones on the Carolina rig then we targeted rock near the dam area. Was able to hook up to a nice 2.5 lbs Spotted bass with the drop shot. Hooked 2 3 to 4 lbs LM in about 20 feet in a grass patch but unfortunately broke them off. Caught several 14 3/4 non keepers with the Carolina rig after 1 when the sun started when the rain moved in.
