Fished our first local club tourney this past Saturday. Weather cooperated with no rain, and it actually got up to around 64-65 degrees in the afternoon (started out around 45).
However, the water temp remained around 45-46 degrees all day. Once, late in the day, I found a small rock point that made it up to 49 degrees with broken clouds.
Unfortunately though, we never found any fish. Fished deep, shallow, medimum, etc. Total was 8 boats with 17 anglers. First was one bass at 3.6 lbs (won both individual and team); second was two fish at about 2.4 lbs (total); and third was one at about a pound. Several others reported catching one or two short fish.
Me, the only thing I caught was a gizzard shad about a lb and a half. Needless to say, I left it in the lake!
Coming back here in 3 weeks for the 2nd. SC Federation tourney. Hope that the water gets into the 52-54 degree range by then and the water comes up some.
