Lake Pleasant (Lake unPleasant) can be a tough lake at times. During this tournament it was exactly that. After a decent prefish we decided to head back into Humbug Cove. The A-rig bite had been decent in practice so my partner and I decided to go with it for the tournament. After the long idle time, we finally made it to the back and started throwing, unfortunately with the cold water being influxed in and the weather making a change the bait and fish just weren't there like they had been. We covered water in the same area but could only catch a few short nonkeepers and a nice striper. We decided to make a move and hit another cut on the way out but that only produced another short fish. After a few moves the results were still the same, short fish with no keepers. We fished hard until the very last minute.
It was a very humbling tournament. I was looking forward to it with the bite we had in practice, but it just didn't work out like we planned. At least it was a nice day on the water with more lessons learned.
