yeah i have been patiently waiting to monk, sure was a nice day to have been on the water, wish i could have went.
4.4 lbs won I think it was. Crappietuttle and papadave won. 1.4 big fish weighing in 6 fish. Not absolutely sure of exact weights. We caught one 11.5" fish. Two days ago I caught a couple good ones like this and left. Today could still see them on the finder but lockjaw. Threw everything at them we could. Water temp had dropped over 2 degrees in two days from 42.6 to 40.2. I guess from all the snow runoff. Great day to fish. Light wind.

how many boats?, sure wish i could have made it.
folks everyone should come out and support what rod is trying to do here, as you can see it doesn't take a bunch of big fish to win these things, its just a good group of guys getting together and fellowshippin.
I was at the weight -in. 4.4 was the winning weight an big fish was 1.4, both won by crappietuttle an papadave, i was the guy in the gold/yellow sweatshort with the GF in red.gonna guess a dozen boats
Not sure on how many boats. Maybe someone can chime in with that. Quite a few .comers there fishing today.
Skowtroll, bigeyecrappieman, hunter, Jordan limit, Crataegus, Alamancecreek, crappietuttle, papadave, redboat and more.
It was a little slow today. I saw water temps as low as 38 on the south end of the lake. Our first fish was 1.25lbs. I thought it was gonna be a good day fishing with the light wind, but we only had four keepers. We caught a lot of shorts. The lake was frozen from just above the dam towards robeson creek. It was still a nice day of fishing. Attachment 149754
I launched from the visitor center at 2:55. Seaforth was closed and I didn't have time to peddle all the way up from ebeneazer. Missed you guys by just a few minutes! I got a picture that pretty much sums up my experience. Fish were there... They weren't biting though...

Yea I was surprised that Papadave and I won being it's the first time we ever fished a tournament, we tried slow troling at 64 bridge first no luck, we tried trolling in the s curves, no luck, we trolling at the bridge at Ebenezer, no luck so we tied on some bottom weights with a hook and fished minnows around and finally started catching fish we probably caught 50-60 with 6 keepers, I meet Newlys hero Chief ther fishing his 2 rods enjoyed talking with him, and we got to put a lot of faces to a lot of c.com members I've talked to on here but never met, I really enjoyed the experience, and I always enjoyed fishing with Dave, thanks for going with me Dave , and great cTch on the big fish Dave. And thanks again to Rod for putting them on.
At noon we hit a spot near the dam and caught six very nice white bass along with two stripers. It was the largest white bass I have ever caught on Jordan. There was some serious thump on our crappie rods. The clouds moved in and the bite quit, so we moved a few hundred yards to another location I wanted to try. It was about 1:30 and caught a 10" crappie right away. I then caught one at 1.35 lbs. and two more 10 incher's, with a few throwbacks. The wind then got up and we ran out of time. It's too bad we found the crappie pattern so late, but that is fishing. A big thanks to Charles (Hunter) for letting me fish on his boat and nice to meet his fishing friend Kevin.
I think it was 15 teams guys.
15 boats is correct. I fished areas from the Ice at the Farrington Bridge all the way to the S-Bends and did not get one bite. I quit at 2:30 and went home. In the end I think I got beat by myself as it seemed that you could have fished the bridges, caught a few keeper crappie and would have had a chance. Oh well, lesson learned.
I am not going to fish the one on the 15th because I want to go fish the Perch Bash on the North West river, however, I may fish the ones after that.
OH! I declare that Jordan Lake no longer has a problem with Shad. I marked Tons!
Wtg guys,and congrat to crappieturrle,and papadave.i sure everyone had a great time,if it wasn't too far i would have love to been there
I was ready to hit the road and skip the weigh in. Didn't figure we had a chance with only 6 fish. Guess luck was with us, 'cause there was a lot more skill and experience out there than we could garner. It was a good day on the water(except the 36mph from 64 to the S-curves run early in the morning). Never a dull moment fishing with Tuttle, and got to meet some really good folks. Winning was nice, being able to participate was better though. See y'all at High Rock!
Good day on the water. Fish just didn't cooperate worst bite I've seen in awhile. Had a bad cranking battery and ended up using jumper cables back and forth allday to go from spot to spot till the batteries just couldn't take anymore. Wouldn't have mattered, fish just weren't willing to bite.
You wimp it was 35.8 by the GPS lol, it was a goo day any wayQuote:

I think you would have had a few more if that boatload of dumb hadn't come in and tied up in your spot.
I gave it up with six small keepers in the livewell. Perfect supper for us and the cat.
Sure hated not seeing Newly-- NOT.
Good to meet you too chief.
I'll have to share one funny story. We moved to a new spot and immediately had the biggest white bass I have ever caught hit my crappie minnow. In the next few minutes, we landed six whites and two stripers. While this was happening, somebody in a pontoon came over very close to us. I thought who is this crowding in on us while we are in a hot spot? Someone yelled over and said "Is that you Dennis?" I immediately recognized it was Jeremy. He caught a couple of small crappie while there, but no white bass. I was surprised that there were not any large crappie hanging out with the white and striped bass.
We moved about 400 yards back up the lake and that is where we found the crappie biting. I think we would have won the tournament there, but it started to rain and then the wind got up. It was a classic crappie spot with a south-facing flat just off the main channel. I will share one other bit of information I found interesting. Most of the day, the baitfish was schooled up over the channel. In the spot that we found the crappie, the baitfish were in shallower water. I don't know if the sun had warmed the water up enough to move the bait, but something different was happening in this spot.

We were fortunate to have a cloudy day and no moons were visible.
Maybe if you would concentrate a little more on fishing, instead of trying to be funny, which usually doesn't work, you could catch a fish now and then.
Newly it was good to see you on the water Sat, let's talk at the next tourn. Your boat was my inspiration and would like to see your rod holder setup and talk tactics.Quote:

JL, thanks for the report and info. Hard to believe that you found some "shallow" but that tells me they are anctious to get up into the shallows. Find a flat, close to channel, that probably a few degrees warmer, and you might find some. Did you notice what the water temp. was on the flat? Just curious as to how much warmer it might be. Sounds like the main lake was around 40 deg's. thanks again.
The water on the surface was 36 when we started out at 7:00, but was up to 40 by 3:00 when we took out for the weigh-in. A flat on the north bank with plenty of sun seems to be the spot right now.
