JML Outdoors Jet Renu North Valley Nights - June 3rd - Bartlett Lake

This was the first night tournament of the season for my partner and I. Last year we smashed them this time of year, so we had high hopes for this tournament. Without any prefish we decided to head down lake and see what we could crank up. First cast caught a short and proceeded to catch a few other shorts. We hit a steep wall with some rocks and my buddy got short lines by a fish over 4lbs that got off right at the boat. We fished down the bank and proceed to catch two keepers and a few more short fish. We had heard once it got dark the fish shutoff, but we had heard that before and caught them. At the end of the night we could have left at 8pm when it got dark, not a single bite. Was brutal tough for us, we weighed 2 fish for 2.8lbs and took 29th of 50 boats. The fish we lost would have put us in the top 10 with over 6lbs. That lake rarely fishes that tough but the water clarify was 1-3 inches and lime green, it should get better as it clears up.
