Alamo Lake 12/11/11 Prefish

I hadn't been to Alamo Lake in nearly a year and decided a prefish for next weeks tournament was a dire neccessity. I went with a friend of mine who also needed to prefish the lake. All I can say is it was a COLD morning for sure! Started out first thing in the 30's at take off and since was practice it was a short slow run across the lake. The fishing definately wasnt on fire but we caught fish from when we first got there until the end of the day. Everything was caught shallow, which surprised me! Clear sunny day, no wind, 52-58 degree water, and the lake level very low, and all fish caught in under 5ft! I know what I will be doing come Saturday. My friend put a hurting on me from the back of the boat throwing a dropshot with variety of baits but I did catch the biggest fish of the day so I'll take it. All the fish came on dropshot or blades, couldn't get a bite on anything else. Lets hope the bite stays like it is even though this weather and rain we are getting right now will probably alter it. Also it was the inaugural run for the HydroWave. Im not sure it how much it helped but I don't think it hurt since caught the fish shallow and kept the volume low and varied it throughout the day. I did notice it drove the ducks insane, since they were diving upder and near the boat all day repeatedly. It was a great sign, and I look forward to dialing this unit in.
