I spent all last night prepping rods, tackle, and stringing on new line, so I would have more time to practice one I got up to Alexandria. I am trying to get everything together so I can get out the door soon, its already almost 7pm. Yikes. Well I will have two full days to prefish with my dad who is fishing as a non-boater. Sounds like the water temps are in the low 70’s and the spawn is pretty much done, although there could be a few stragglers sneaking up this weekend with the moon phase, but I would not bank on sight fishing. I will have a rod ready in case I stumble on one or two. I expect the fish to be scattered in a post-spawn, probably a bit of a tough bite. I will most likely concentrate on mid-shallow water. Flats, docks, reeds and inside weedlines. Probably junk fishing, just keep moving trying different areas and picking up fish here and there. I do not expect it to be difficult to get a limit, finding the quality fish will be the trick. Well I am pretty PSYCHED to fish this tournament, its a lake I like a lot and I like this time of year. I also bought some Lake Fork Tackle Flippers today that I anxious to test. Look for results to be blogged early next week along with a practice reports
