Looks like I will be spending a month or so fishing up there. I have two tournaments coming up on the lake (one 4/29 and another 5/13). I've never been particularly good here. In fact, I'd say that I hate the lake. Not because the lake isn't good, but because I'm not good there.

I recently purchased (2) Helix 9's G2N. I figure I will spend a lot of time idling around staring at them. I have booked a guide trip with a buddy of mine for 4/17. Not sure who it's with as my buddy lined it up.

Any hints, tips, patterns, or baits would be appreciated. I'm hoping the shad spawn will get going and the spinnerbait bite will be going on out on the shallow ledges. I always get a kick out of the "fish the grass" advice...... as if the whole damn lake didn't have grass everywhere!

Thanks,
