TBA Nights - July 19th - Saguaro Lake

With the full moon and thunderstorm in the forecast all night, Fred and I set out for the 4th event of the Total Bass Addicts Summer Night Series at Saguaro Lake. We had made a decision to try the same area we found fish on previously and change up tactics to milk the spot. We launched with the first flight watching the lightning show all around the lake. Thankfully the storm stayed out and around the mountains and only had about 15 minutes worth of rain a slight winds to cool it down.
We made our short run to our starting spot, which happened to be the only run we made all night. Within a few minutes we had 4 smaller fish in the well throwing crankbaits and dropshots. We knew it was going to take much more than what we had but at least we got an early start to get the confidence up. Throughout the night we made pass after pass and had two sweet spots on a 50 yeard stretch that would produce most of our fish. We through dropshots, texas rigged worms and craws, shakey head, etc. but the best bite and most the fish came on the old classic Westy Worm and Wired Worm. We couldn't get the fish to bite the bigger baits but with those working so well it was hard to not throw them. We caught over 30 fish off that area and weighed a limit of largemouth weighing 16.24 pounds with a 5.20 pound big fish, which was good enough for 14th place. We had an absolute blast out there and with our finish we qualified for the end of year Championship at Roosevelt Lake. With 2 more tournaments to go and the pressure off to qualify it should prove to be interesting and hopefully the quality keeps improving.
