Eighty percent of my catches this week came on a 3/32-ounce Neko rig (Red Bug). I caught a couple on an off-white jerkbait, too, but I had confidence in the Neko in the (slightly stained) water. Putting my bait in front of as many fish as possible was the key to success and I had to make slight adjustments each day to trigger bites from the best quality-sized fish in my areas. On day 1 with the cloudier conditions, the fish were locked to the bottom, whereas the sunnier and calmer conditions on day 2 had them just mere inches below the surface.

I fished the Collegiate Bass Trail of Texas tournament on the lake on 04/16/22. It was partly cloudy to overcast all day with a steady south wind to start the morning, and then shifting to a very strong north wind. The outside temperatures throughout the day started in the mid to upper 70's and then dropped into the low 60's and high 50's when the front came through mid day. The water temperature on the lake ranged from 64 - 71 degrees and the water clarity ranged from 6 inches of visibility to about a foot of visibility. We started the morning on a shallow spawning flat we found the day before in practice with a good amount of grass and timber spread throughout it. After catching one fish early on a buzzbait and having a few missed opportunities on a frog, we started using a chatterbait to cover the edges of the shallow grass targeting fish cruising the spawning flat, as well as flipping a texas rig at the base of the many cedar trees on the flat to target fish staging to move up on beds. We were also able to catch a few later in the day flipping the tires at the mouth of the marina on the lake that proved to be some key culls. Doing this, we were able to catch a limit weighing 18.36 pounds, which was good enough to get us 8th place and a check in the tournament. I have put a picture of our bag from the tournament below. Ray Roberts is fishing very good right now and the fish are moving up, so go get on the water! Thank you all for reading and good luck!
