MBC Seniors - October 18th - Roosevelt Lake

While my teammate and I missed the opening tournament of the season in September due to family obligations, we were ready to get our 2014-2015 season started. The weather was set to be perfect, bright sunny day and little to no wind. While that is normally a gorgeous day on the water it does make for a tougher day on the water. The fall bite was supposed to started by now but with water temps in the mid 70's at launch, we knew that was not going to be the case.
We launched boat 42 of 46 and noticed going down lake that most of our typical spots already had boats on them, so we hit an area that has produced in the past and fell in-line behind another boat. We were throwing topwater and jigs to start the morning which produced two bites, but two short fish that would not keep. We covered some water and only had one other blow up on the topwater so we made a move. The move produced some more short fish on a dropshot.
With no fish in the box, we made another run into the Salt end which was very short lived. The water was chocolate in color, but had some birds around the area. We tried covering water but think we missed that bite so we ran into the main lake into cleaner water. We were fishing a flat with a drop and noticed some action out deeper so we decided to give it a try. Within a few minutes we had our first keeper and an hour later we had a limit. We culled off the area the rest of the day hoping for a bigger bite it just never came. Wish I would not have taken my spoons out of the boat prior to the tournament but we fought through and caught them all on small shad baits on a dropshot.
We finished the day with a 5 fish limit for 8.31lb and finished 21st place. It was a grind for us but we fought through. Lessons from the day are always have a second game plan and always have some spoons ready in the boat. We are looking forward to the next tournament at Apache Lake on November 15th.

Castrol Premium Lube Express - New Sponsor

I am proud to announce a new sponsor for the 2014-2015 Season, Castrol Premium Lube Express. These guys have been taking care of my business and personal vehicles for the last few years and we have finally teamed up for this season. They do all jobs big or small, basic service to custom work. Without Alvin and Blake at Castrol Premium Lube Express, I would not have been able to be out on the lake nearly as much as have been, their work is top notch. Thanks again, can't wait to see what the new season will bring.
