Where/What: Mississippi River pool 5a bass tournament
Weather: (1253) SE9, clear, 87º 29.84 steady
H20: 73º, 653.28 rising, 52 kfs, mostly dingy
Caught: Me: two legal LMB’s, numerous pike with one measuring 37 inches. Scott: 2 Legal SMB’s and numerous small LMB’s and numerous pike
Observations: Today was a scorcher on the water. The south wind and a water temperature of 73 degrees saved me. There is quite a bit of rice on this pool, but most of it is still flat on the water. I did not see any wild celery plants.
It was our first bass tournament of the year, and we took fourth. Sounds like an okay finish right, well there were only four boat and we got clobbered by the other three boats. The whole deal was a bust! I told Scott before the tournament that small mouth bass were going to be a major element of the bags, and they were.
We on the other hand stuck to the non-existent frog bite almost all day. which, caused our embarrassing finish. Finally in the last hour I had enough of fishing the frog and we went smallmouth fishing. In actuality I had enough and seen enough to have abandoned the frog bite after a couple of hours. You just cannot make a fish bite what it does not want to bite. Anyway the last hour we did catch a couple of small mouths with one legal one put in the boat.
