Found a 20+ finally. Tournament day featured storms rolling through all day and several missed fish. I didn’t fish well but two tournaments remain and I need some points! Beech River Watershed lakes. They are all between 200-500 acres. Time to do some planning.

I love fishing in the morning time. The hook live that we had the other day got me thinking and I have to admit I’ve been hanging out with Gerald cause I’ve thrown EWG on all my creature style baits for ever. Today I went out and tried something new. Not the grass. That’s still the money spot. However, I didn’t want to go down in it, I went for a different perspective and fished up. I used a V lock bend with a screw lock and I caught the mess out then dang fish. Had at least 30 bites in a couple of hours and landed 25+. It’s crazy what trying something new does. Also, if you are like me and you break the nose off your plastics after a couple of bites, try the screw lock. It’ll save the life of the plastics.
