did anybody fish mitchell this past weekend? me and a buddy of mine went sunday afternoon. it seemed like a perfect afternoon, but we struggled bad. we usually love to fish the lake in the late afternoons and nights. I didn't manage a bite, and he only caught one. It's been a long time since we've had that hard of a time. I was just wondering if there were a lot of tournaments out of there this weekend, or if anybody else had trouble on sunday anywhere.

I fished Logan Martin Sunday. All the fish I caught were suspended. They were hitting the finess worm when I was reeling it in. Caught a bunch and missed a bunch.

Post spawn (May) on the Coosa can be tough. The water and weather looks great but the fish are beat up. I use small top water plugs to locate fish. A Zara Puppy, Crazy Shad and/or Pop'R. Then switch to finesse plastics after I find them. You have to go slow. Like in the winter until they get in their summer pattern.

To add to what Stripe posted....

It was post front day. Fish were probably tight to cover and tight lipped because of the pressure change too.

I have a night tournament coming up next month down there. Cant wait !!


ROLL TIDE !!!
