Headed out to webster lake last tuesday with the kids and then again saturday for our first club tournament.
This spring is crazy with the water temps so high already. The wind was blowing like snot on tuesday when we launched at 9 am. I didnt do much fishin myself, mostly helped the kiddos tie in to a few and just visualy checked out a few spots in advance of saturday. Kids had fun, each caught a couple fish with help and a couple on their own. They are learning and starting to enjoy as it always helps when the catch a couple of fish. Makes it a lot of fun for me now that they are really wanting to go when ever they can join me!
Saturday morning, Club T. We had 15 boats. I headed into a small cove that on tuesday was loaded with fish both bedding and cruising. Luckily I had it all to myself and my nonboater. The water was 5 degrees warmer in this cove than anyplace else. Tuesday it was pushing 70 degrees. It had cooled back down to 63 first thing this morning but there were still fish here. I was able to get a limit of about 9 pounds by 9 oclock. Two other boats joined us shortly after. We talked to the guys in one boat who lived on the lake. The had a tournament wednesday and took 19 and a half pounds out of that cove including a 6.2 pound beast. About 10 oclock I deciced to go look for some bigger fish. I put the trolling motor on high and started running banks looking for upgrades. This is what I did the rest of the day and ended up upgrading 4 or 5 times to my final weight of 13.54 pounds which took the win. I really thought someone was going to come in with some big bags but luckily for me that didnt happen.
My fish
A couple of the 2nd place fish
