JML Weekend Warriors - Central Arizona Teams - March 19th - Apache Lake

My friend and I decided to fish the JML tournament at Apache Lake since the fish were in all stages of the spawn, and that lake has some great largemouth and smallmouth fishing year round. Wow was it a fun day. We decided to run up river to see if a reaction bite was there or if the fish were still positioned in the channel. We found both but nothing of size and the channel fish just wouldn't eat. It was a great day. We were blind casting to dark spots which most seemed to hold quality smallmouth and also fan casting the deeper drops at same time, using dropshots. That 1-2 punch produced 40 fish or more and a mixed bag or largemouth and smallmouth. We never had a monster bite but we did weigh our 5 fish limit for 17.12lbs and a big fish of 3.88lbs. We took 9th place and a decent check, not bad for a last minute decision. I learned a ton from that trip from my friend and has an absolute blast while doing so.
