Got out today to look for some fish for an upcoming tournament this weekend. Today was much better than the last several. We got off the bank and fished deeper then we have been and it sure paid off. In about the first 1.5 hrs we had a limit of around 15 lbs w a 19 in smallmouth!!! We caught several fish throughout the day with the smallmouth being the highlight of the day. We decided to fish a Tuesday night tournament considering we found some fish. On blast off my glasses flew off my head and luckly landed in the washout well by the motor. We should have taken that as a sign and loaded the boat on the trailer but we didnt. In the first hour of fishing we lost 3 fish that would have went 12 lbs due to breakoffs and 2 that jumped off. Needless to say we didn't fininsh well. Took little over 9lbs to win which we had with just 2 of the fish that we lost. All fish today were caught in 15-20 fow on jigs, t-rigged plastics and Spro Little John DD crankbaits.
