The big fish are still there, but the little ones start getting on the baits ahead of them.
nice job, thanks for the report!
Not that the big ones are not in the lake, it's just they have scattered out in the shallows now. Before they were set up in their pre-spawn areas and were easier to find. They will come back in a couple months, but not quite as heavy.Big fish have to go?
I haven't done so well on structure as usual and had a friend catch some in some shallow grassy areas at shore.Believe it or not they are up for the spawn. I know the temps are not where the "book" says it should be. We are catching fish in inches of water in the backs of spawning flats. No reason for the fish to be there other than looking for beds.
Caught one at Jordan Saturday that was sweeping. Tail was dripping blood all over the place!!!
I am 100% with you on this one. They may not actaully spawn till the water temps are right that doesn't mean they aren't feeding and preparing even if the water is less than 50 degrees.I am becoming increasingly convinced that the spawn is driven more by the length of the day than by water temps.
It was a jon boat only tournament. Electric motors only. There is a part of Randleman that is electric only so it is very friendly to jon boats. There are several jon boat clubs around. There are at least 6 clubs in NC with anywhere from 10 to 30+ members each.Is this a tournament where only jons are allowed? Is RR typically not a jon-friendly impoundment?
Do you have any info listing for these clubs? Would like to look into em. ThanksIt was a jon boat only tournament. Electric motors only.

Ive competed against riverrat1 and some of the other guys associated with these johnboat clubs and they are a great bunch of guys. Very organized tourneys and large turn-outs for these events. And no riverrat1 did not pay me to say that.lol This endorsement is on me Mike!!Do you have any info listing for these clubs? Would like to look into em. Thanks
