Got out today with Brad for a 6 hr trip that he wanted to finish off the trip with a tournament. Brads main goal today was to learn basic early spring bass patterns and effective ways to fish them. Throughout the day Brad and I looked around alot and discussed why fish would or would not be in specific areas and also ways to fish spots were bass were likely to be. We got on the water about noon and immediately caught several fish on a shallow crankbait. The bite was pretty slow the rest of the day as the cold front and bluebird skies had the fish feeling a little lethargic. We were able to catch fish throughout the day but just not the quality or quantity that we had been. But when it came tournament time Brad was ready. He caught his personal best of 6 lbs on his third cast and boated the other 2 fish that we ended up weighing in!!!  We ended up catching enough weight to place 2nd overall in the tournament. And I have to apologize for not getting any pictures as we were pretty focused on the tournament.
