Fished the MTCC tournament today with Jerry Hill, aka Lynn's brother. Jerry had fished the day before and called me and said the fish were hitting shallow on brush. He had caught some nice ones up to 14 inch. So we set out at 6 am going up river to his spot were he caught them the day before. Was a little slow. Weather was 48 rising to 54, cloudy with rain, sometimes heavy. Water temp was 69-72. It was a little chilly for middle May. Action was slow but we did manage to catch a few good ones in his spot. They were in the brush about 5-8 ft down. We caught about 30 but only had 4 keepers that weighed in at 3lb something. Big fish was 1.6. Had a couple more that were to close to call but mainly small fish. There were some really good fish and some 7 fish limits brought to weigh in. Check out MTCC to see results. Some of our best fishing came in the last 15 minutes of fishing in a down pour. Caught about 10 with 1 keeper closer to the ramp. Had a lot of fun. Had not been out since Easter weekend so I needed that . Was just good to get out and catch a few with good friend. The fish we caught were spawned out but I am not sure about some that were brought to weigh in. Some had big bellies on them still. Will have to ask John about that as he took them to the cutting board. All fish were caught on minnows under slip floats. Did try a bg not sure of the name of it but it was blue with red sparkles in it. Had 3 hits but no hook ups.
