MBC Super Teams - Lake Pleasant - Nov. 10th

Tournament number 3 of the 2012-2013 for MBS Super Teams was a cold one. With temps all week in the 90's until tournament day, where it rained all night and the high was 58 created less that favorable conditions. It was a slow start to the morning after launching at 6:33am, my partner and I made a short run to start throwing A-rigs and Skinny Dippers around some drop off near a channel. All we could get were some small followers on the Skinny Dipper and a few bigger followers on the A-rig but none would hit it and hook up. After a few hours and a couple short fish later with the clouds moving in with the wind, we made a move. It happened to be the right move, it was a cut with a slight breeze blowing into it with scattered trees. The first pass through produced out big fish of the day a solid 2.54lb largemouth and another quality fish. We made another pass and got our third keeper. We decided to hit some other similar areas, we had success but didn't catch any that would keep for the end of the day. We then went back to the same cut and caught number four and a few minutes later number 5. We had a decent limit especially for Lake Pleasant and we were now in the search for a kicker fish. We hit a few other areas in hopes of a bigger fish but once again the fish would only follow and do Z-patterns under the A-rig and never hit it. We fished to the last minute never upgrading the limit.
We finished 4th place with a limit just shy of 10lbs, which we were proud of. It's a very tough lake and the added cold front made it even tougher. We started and finished the day looking for the bigger fish on the A-rig but it was a shakey head that did all the damage for the day. It was the right bait for the situation and the fish almost choking it, which gave us all the confidence in throwing it the rest of the day. I was throwing the Omega Custom Tackle Savior head in green pumpkin. I have to give a ton of credit to my partner for figuring out the bite and sticking to what he does best and not letting the time of the season switch his thinking. Also thank you again to all my sponsors that make my fishing possible.
