FIshed most of the morning in the backs of coves fishing with buzz baits and D Bombs and Wayne’s creature jig with minimal success. Caught 2 short fish on buzz bait and 1 small keeper on D Bomb. We backs of all the coves were filled with small baitfish. No bigger gizzard shad. With only an hour and a half left of tourney with only 4 fish all day. We threw almost everything in the boat at them before we found a good pattern of a weightless fluke along the edges of shallow docks. The main key was fishing very slow. A few short twitches and then let it sink very slowly near the corners. Fish would normally hit after 5 seconds of slow fall.We finished with 4 keepers and 1 nice fish we lost at the boat. If I only would have figured out the pattern sooner. So hopefully this helps everyone else out. |
