Nolin Sunday

[wishniwasfishn]

Early morning cold, and rainy. Water was not to stained, about 8" visibility, was very cold 43 degrees, and warmest i found was 45 degrees. Fished main and secondary points to 30' deep with jigs, with not even a nibble, fished bluff walls with a suspending jerkbait, nothing. Tried drop shotting the points nothing. Finally after the sun came up fished a main lake cove, and caught one small 12 or 13 inch bass, it was so white it looked like a crappie, and it was solid red around its mouth, it hit a suspending jerkbait after i let it sit for about 10 seconds. It looked as though there was a Renegade tournament going on, had a couple of them come flying in and pull in front of me and fish the water i was getting ready to fish, wonderful examples of courtious tournament fisherman, saw the same guy do it to another guy fishing. Does anyone know what it took to win that tournament. Overall a pretty decent day, with the water so far down, i marked a ton of spots with the gps that should be decent this summer. It was nice just to be on the water, even though we didnt catch much.

Tournament this last sunday was an ABA tournament. I know there were alot of Renegade fisherman out there practicing as they have a tourney this sunday, but ABA was the tournament on this past sunday, not sure who was responsible for the cut offs, sorry to hear about that. Anyway, it only took 4.5 ish to win the ABA tourney (2 fish) and they paid down to 4th place, which was taken by a slot fish. Tough day to say the least. Guy that won had both first place and big fish that weighed in at 2.47

A buddy and I went yesterday, found some water temps. 52 degrees. We caught 10 fish with three keepers (including slot fish). We would of had about 7.5-8.0 lbs. We also lost a few good ones that came unbuttoned. It was a nice day other than the VERY high winds. We only fished for a few hrs. Got there at 1130am left at 500pm most of the time we were riding around mapping spots. Just good to be out on the water.
