Bass Fishing Report; Ohio River Rocky Point ; May 5-6, 2007 |
||||
|
Weather:
Overcast, light rain Saturday; mostly sunny Sunday; high 80, low
60 Water:
Water level slightly above normal, stained to muddy, temperature
65-70 I
fished the Indiana Bass Federation (TBF) District 10 Top 8 tournament
Saturday and Sunday May 5-6 out of Rocky Point.
The river has been high for quite a while, but it is slowly
coming down. The water level
is fluctuating slightly from day to day, so it is hard to find a
consistent pattern that will last for very long.
Also, a lot of the fish are on beds right now, especially up
river from Rocky Point. I believe some have already spawned and are in a
post spawn mode, mainly in the creeks on the lower end of the pool where
the water level has been more stable.
Despite all of that, the weigh-in was pretty good.
The two day individual winning weight was 10 fish – 20 lbs.
The winning 8 person team had 68 lbs for two days.
It took 11 lbs to qualify for the state finals (top 14
individuals). I finished 4th
with 10 fish – 14 lbs. My
club, Southern Indiana Bassaholics, finished second with 66 lbs.
Two other members of my club, Ron Nale and Randy Coffman, also
qualified for the state finals. All
but two of my keepers came on a shallow diving crankbait around stumps
on the edge of a creek channel. I
started far up river on Saturday and caught two small keepers flipping.
When I started seeing fish locked on beds, I decided it was time
for me to leave. I can catch
spawning fish most places, but Steve
