Is that why there were so many tubes out today? I didn't hit the water or fish at all today, but I dropped off my 2 boys this morning at 6 near the ramp at 11/12. A bunch of tubers getting ready to hit the water...Went back later around 9AM and counted around 10 tubes. I was curious as to what was going on, I just thought it was a meet..
Tourney?...cool, so what happened??
That was me you spoke with when you dropped off you boys. There were about 10 tubers from a float tube forum that showed up. A $5.00 lure was the entry. The winner was a 5.5 lb fish from a guy who had to leave @ 11:00. Most of the guys headed straight across and fished that point on the east side away from the Island. I headed due east and worked down there. I wish I was a better LMB fisherman as the bass boats were killing them. I did catch one LMB on a silver senko:
I headed back to where the guys were and at a bass tourny I catch this on a silver crappie jig that I troll on my UL pole.
Beautiful colors and a full tail, took about five minutes to land and release.
Fish tacos anyone?
I went out on Friday to do some scouting and fell back onto my old ways and caught some nice red ear and a blue gill
She inhaled the larger Super Duper:
The one BG
(Side note- Boys did ok, caught 14 RE and 2 Trout; meal worm and inflated Night Crawler. The inflated night crawler with some garlic scent added seemed to be the ticket for them)
