We fished the tournament and the bite was spotty. If you figured out the pattern, you caught fish. Not nearly as many big fish like last year, but also only 4 fish were not released alive. Big fish for the tournament was 6.81lbs. Lots of shorts though. The lake should be in good shape for the next couple of years. We caught quite a few crappie, and some pushing 14-15", on the drop offs in 12-18ft. Just a thought for you guys looking for the keepers.
