The weather was less than great, but the fish were biting if you were lucky enough to figure out where they went. Well many in the bass champs tournament were as it took 30 pounds in 5 fish to get a check and 39 pounds to win. I, however, was not one of them.
Started the morning fishing crankbaits outside of spawning areas in 8-12 feet of water. In the first 30 minutes had a 9 pounder crush the bait and I thought it was on. For what ever reason, my bite was done for the most part. i could never connect with the bass no matter what I tried.
So here is what the successful anglers did. They fished jigs on steeper banks and isolated rock piles in 4-18 feet of water. Hit the right area and you caught em quick and big. Smaller fish were caught shallow on spinnerbaits and worms.
I know, doesn't sound tough. Guess it is why it is frustrating, but that is bass fishing.
Falcon is a great lake and I hope you catch your personal best.
Bassin, Dave
