Launched the tourney at 8:00am. Started around the west side of the islands. Chartreuse/Pepper Flake 1 1/2" tube on a 3/16 ball jig. Started my day. At least I thought. Hooked my first smallie. About 2lb's. Brought it to the boat and snap just as the net went under. The fish then proceeded break top water for the next 20 minutes until I saw it shake the lure. Smallie #2 20 minutes later. Brought it to the boat and Adios Amigo is all she said as she spit the hook and slowly swam away! Ah!!!!!! #3 20 minutes later to the boat and the knot unties! Dah!!!!!! 20 Minutes later I land #4. About 2.5 Lbs. Bite dies. Hit a bunch of spots. At about noon a brown 1 1/2" tube landed 5 for my partner for a total weight winning the event at 14.9 Lb.s with the winning lunker smallie at 4.49 Lbs. Off the water by 1PM. The smallie spawn is definitely done although we spotted numerous beds and caught hang arounds in 10 FOW. We came across a few Large Mouths digging their beds with the female not far away but we couldn't get them to hit anything. Water Temps were 54 deg. Overcast all day and mild breeze. One bag of five came in all on Chartreuse/White Spinner Bait. Rappala's (Crank and Stick) did absolutely nothing. And we tried every combination in our arsenal. The Large Mouth are just starting to come up out of the depths on Candy and a few more deg's warmer the fishing should pick up quite well. For now small finesse and very slow casting to shore in 20 FOW seems to be the trick as you reel back to the boat.
