Neko rig PB this evening! 9.6

I spent the last two days practicing on Lake Lewisville for a tournament on the 16th. This was my first time on this lake and I learned so much including thoughts on how to better approach my home lake. Tournament fishing/prep ( and this app) have helped me better understand this great sport!

I'm curious about thoughts/strategies on graphing versus fishing time. Does anyone have a routine they follow?

Nice 3-pounder off the dock before the arctic blast blows in tonight

I fished the Lake Arlington tournament today. Like the majority of the field we zeroed.

28 degrees at takeoff with 15 MPH north wind. The water was muddy.

A brutal day is an understatement. I can't wait to do it again!

Please share your opinions! I’m fishing a tournament Sunday on Lake Arlington. This will be my first time on this lake.
It will be in the mid 20’s to start with a high temp of 44. Cold front and rain Saturday. I’ve watched several old videos of the lake and looking for more. I’m debating a few starting areas from docks, rock points, and drains in the few pockets on the lake
I’ve attached a for few pictures with more detail. I’m more asking thoughts on strategy rather than specific areas on the map. The waypoints are from my Google Earth research.

This is my 2nd tournament to fish outside of small Tuesday nighters on my home lake. I will continue to study the rest of the week

I'm just now learning live scope. This is off a rock point. What's the first thing you would throw in this bait ball? Spoiler: I didn't get a bite, and there were probably six bait balls this big.

Need advice! I’m looking to take my first trip to the St. Lawrence River (also first time smallmouth fishing). It will be my wife and I spending a week up there. Any recommendations on the best location for us to take advantage of seeing the area and any guide recommendations for fishing? I’m thinking of an early summer trip. I appreciate any thoughts and advice.

First time watching a fish eat the minnow!

It's a 52-degree post-front afternoon. I’m planning to look for bait and spend the afternoon in this creek, a river system lake with lots of rock and docks. I would love to hear your thoughts on tactics and baits. ( 3 pictures in the post)
