The morning was cool and mostly clear for the annual S.I.U. Bass Tournament. The turn out was great! (84boats) If you didn't fish this tournament be sure to come next year and join us. Also coming this weekend Tom Samples ( OWNER PYRAMID ACRES) and Dennis Dunn (OWNER

Now for the fishing report:  We started our day off on a main lake point about 2/3 the way down the lake. We fished this area with crankbaits and jigs, landing one keeper fish on a black and blue jig in about 6 foot of water. Tyson raised the trolling motor and we headed to the back of a near by creek. We stayed in this area for a couple of hours, catching 7 keepers over 16 inches in length on rattle traps and crankbaits. (Bandit 100 series) We fan casted and fished the banks catching several other fish. We decided to leave this area to search for more quality fish.

Our next stop was a pocket off the main lake, here we caught several fish and culled twice on a crankbait. Again we went in search for larger fish. Running up to the main lake, in the ski area, to fish the clearer water, thinking it would be the best choice for the kicker fish we needed. Catching only small fish, we headed back to the dingy water by Wagon Creek to try to upgrade once again. We were running short on time with 5 keeper bass in the box that weighed about 15 pounds. Catching 4 more keepers and a few shorties, it was time to head to the scales. Sometimes you need a little luck to get that kicker fish.

The bass are pushing shallow and going into full pre-spawn mode, they are very vulnerable to crankbaits, jigs, Carolina rigs, spinnerbaits, and rattle traps. This is some of the BEST BASS FISHING of the year!
