Sunday, 10/21/12 HFFA Tournament

Postby shanai » Sun Oct 21, 2012 7:02 pm

11 anglers in 8 boats took to the waters. The weather was beautiful, mostly sunny, with occasional overcast clouds and a nice breeze. The water level was about 70' with water temperatures starting around 76 in the morning and climbing to about 79 degrees by the afternoon.

The morning bite was slow and sporadic, we managed two bass in the morning between two anglers, the first bass came on a topwater sluggo and the second on a crankbait. Both bass were larger than previous average sized bass, going slightly under two pounds.

The afternoon bite was just as slow for us, but we managed two more fish, another bass on a crankbait and a Tuc on a topwater sluggo. We threw almost every lure we had and the one lure that we kinda abandoned in the afternoon were worm & jigs.

When we had our end of day weigh-in, eight anglers had their 3 fish limits. Mostly everyone agreed that the morning bite was slow but the afternoon bite was great!!! And as you can already guess, the afternoon bass were biting worms and creatures !!! All told, 24 bass and 4 tucs were weighed. Many club members stated that they were culling fish in the afternoon so the bite was really good for them.

Although our boat's catch today was not great, it was still nice to be on the water, and there's always next month.
