I went practicing for a club tournament this weekend. We're fishing a clear lake which isn't too common in Texas. Given the time of yr and water temps, my mindset was to fish shallow while looking for beds. I went a few hours with no bites. While scanning a pocket I noticed a lot of bait. Dropped the trolling motor and saw that the fish were on bait and got my 1st clue. I then went to other pockets and ran that pattern.... I've definitely got a game plan going into Saturday.

I know we all want to get to our fishing spots and get to catching them, but one of the things that seems to be less talked about is water/boat safety. Keep your head on a swivel and always pay attention to your surroundings.
