Working remotely today and had a chance to put together a quick update.  Fishing has been brutally tough.  Fished a fairly full day on Saturday and a long day on Sunday and managed to boat one keeper bass on a SWL Spinnerbait.  Also had one fish that would have been close to a keeper up to the boat on a drop shot.  Any my practice partners have only managed to get one very short fish up to the boat. 

We have tried a bunch of different locations, types of structure and baits.  1ft – 19ft in depths, fished bluffs, bridges, grass clumps, weedlines, timber, channel banks, creek ledges and combinations of the for mentioned.  Baits that we have tried, drop shots, spinnerbaits, shakey heads, jig worms, texas rig, jigs, topwater, crankbaits, carolina rig and the list goes on.  We had a severe drop in temperature, with lows in the 30’s and day time highs are about 20F lower than average.  Fishing has been tough on the local tournaments as well.  Two tournaments that I was aware of, 75 total teams for two days, only 6 limits :0

I hope to get out for about an hour this evening after my last phone call for work, temps have stabilized and it will slowly get warmer through the rest of the week, its not going to get warm, but at least the weather has stabilized.  I got one full day of practice to put together my game plan.  On a positive note, I think I have located some good areas and see a lot of the lake, so if I find a pattern, I think I will be able to duplicate it and run it during the tournament.
