Bass Fishing Report; Ohio River Rocky Point ; Aug 20, 2006

 

Weather:  Rain early, mostly coudy, high around 85

Water:  The river is at summer pool, main river is clear, creeks stained, water temperature low to mid 80’s

I fished the Indiana Bass Federation Invitational at Rocky Point Sunday, August 20.  There were 54 boaters and 53 co-anglers.  It rained really hard as I was driving to the tournament in the morning, but surprisingly, the creeks did not muddy up.  The rain was light when we took off, but I decided not to make a run until it stopped. 

I caught one keeper on a spinnerbait in some grass in the first few minutes.  Nothing else after that for the next hour.  The rain stopped, so I made a run to what I thought was going to be my best area.  After two hours, my co-angler had caught one keeper on a buzzbait and I had a few short fish on a shallow crankbait.  This area was not producing like I thought it should, so I made another run farther up river.  We spend the rest of the day there and I caught two more keepers on the crankbait and a lot of short fish.  My co-angler stuck with the buzzbait all day, but it just wasn’t meant to be. 

I wound up with 3 keepers that weighed 4.06 lbs and finished 27th.  My partner had 1 that weighed 1.36.  First place boater had 5 fish that weighed 10.32 lbs. and the winning co-angler had 4 that weighed 7.54.  There were a lot of fish caught.  Nearly everyone weighed in fish.  All of our fish were caught in creeks in less than 5 feet of water, but I’m sure there were some fish caught on the main river also.
