Practicing for the Gateway ministries tournament! So started fishing first half of the creeks! Had a cold front start to work it’s way in! When a cold front has hit or on it was to the fish will be real close to same areas as a normal day, but when that cold hit they will just slide down a foot or two maybe a little bit more! Had a decent day!

Practicing for the tournament for the third day! Stuck with the deeper side of the point’s in the main river channel! They were biting anywhere from as soon as it hit the water to 15-18’ foot deep! And the bit never really was there for me! On all my treble hook bait a lot of fish were foul hooked!

Tournament morning! Had 119 Boat for the Charity Tournament! I Drew Boat # 71! Started Fishing Main Lack River Channels, and found having really good luck fishing any of Isolated Brush Piles or Big LayDown Logs! Didn’t do any good! Caught 3 nice ones! One was 1/4” short of 18”in.!! The second one was 3/8” short, the last one was 1/16” short, but I couldn’t make the tail sweep 18” For anything! I set him in the live well just a few seconds maybe to relax, but it just would not hit 18”! Had 4 fish for the day. 13.64" for 5 smallmouth.
