We had 20 boats and only 5 weighed fish.. I am proud to say that 3 of those were from Lafayette!

Be that as it was, St Xavier whipped everyone with about 8 lbs. 2 guys that live on the lake caught 2 fish that weighed about 3 or 4 lbs and pur 3 boats had 1 fish each.

The wining lures were a Rapala Shadrap and Spinner baits. All of the fish wer caught on the lower dam side of the lake. Most were caught on bluff walls (lol) if you have ever been to herrington, you know that that is kind of a duh.. statement as most of the lake are Bluff Rock walls.

The water was still in the 45-49 degree temp range and the bite was slow for everyone but St Xavier. Koodos to those guys.. They actually cullled fish!. A buddy of mine was ahead of them on the bank and was throwing a shadrap (same thing they were throwing) they never weighed a fish.. It's all about finding a pod of fish that are ready to eat!
Good luck at the event, I'm sure we will see you there!
