Ryan & I got a bit of a late start on Saturday morning, probably did not make the first cast until almost 7am.  We started out by checking my #1 deep spot and I got a small keeper on a Carolina Rigged baby Ring Fry using two small tungsten sinkers to add extra noise.  Ryan then picked up a short fish on a 3″ Fluke rigged on a drop shot.  That was all the action we got there and I was very disappointed.  We tried two more deep spots and all we got were a few nibbles from some panfish.

We then went and checked out the shallow areas where Ryan won our club tournament a few weeks ago.  We got a few small keepers and I caught a really nice fish off a piece of shallow isolated cover with a jig, close to 4lbs.  Ryan got a decent keeper on a albino Bronzeye Frog out of some weed mat.  We then decided to head under the bridges to the west side of the lake where I had caught a some nice fish back in June.  Ryan ended up getting two decent keepers on a Albino Bronzeye Frog and I got zero bites.

We then came back out to the main lake and backed off the areas where we fished this morning into some mid-depth zones.  I caught a really nice fish and lost another one very quickly on a mojo rigged baby Ring Fry.  We then hopped around trying duplicate this area and caught several more nice keepers, I caught them on the mojo rig and Ryan boated a few with a Killer Craw Ring Fry worked Texas on a 1/4oz Tru-Tungsten Sinker.  A pattern was finally starting to emerge and it was time to head home.  Although, these might not be winning fish, its seems to be a much more stable pattern to getting a quality limit and then we can gamble for a few big fish from there.  This was a productive day on the lake and I had one more practice day to figure out some more.
