"Holy Balls!"

Good calamari works every time

If all else fails, go get some pizza at Vinnie’s Pizzeria right up Rte 9

clear cold water, i'd try a savage gear 3D baitfish

Me and you are thinking the same on the chatterbait. Right between rattle trap and jig is the boat ramp. I planned on putting the ole 36 volt 112MK on high and scooting over to the chatterbait area first thing and also work the rip rap and concentrate on the culvert to the next pond. Spinnerbait slow rolled ticking the rip rap.

I'm hoping there is a little stain, I hate clear water!

I thought this was gonna be about you getting a new jersey to wear on tournament day.......

Ironically, if I were to wear a jersey, it would be the first time.

I would talk to some of the locals or people at the tackle shops, dont tell them your in a tournament though. I bet you can muster up some good advice. Good Luck & Hope you win....show dem yankess how we do it in Texas.

Is this a derby thread?

My yankee buddy likes jigging spoons deep on long points for pre-spawn SM. Find them with live scan.

I'll have one rigged while trolling to my first spot just incase I see some light up on my graph. I have to cross a few long points to get there.

No it's a "Doorbee" thread

Incase anyone was wondering, I zeroed! Very humbling. There was a 16#, a 17# and a 18# bag weighed in. Big bass of 7 and some change. I went shallow and pitched jigs at stumps, should have payed attention to what everyone else was doing, they were fishing the 10’ to 15’ range. Found out they were drop shotting and using jerk baits, two of my least favorite things to do. Also, this was a trolling motor only tournament (very common on most of the lakes here) and the wind was a stiff 15 to 20. We took off and some of these guys were hauling azz! I got there late and most all of the boats were already in the water, it wasn’t until the end when people started loading up that I understood why they were so fast. Look closely, half of the were sporting these.

Last I remembered you were living out by Lake Limestone.
