AZ Head to Head Bracket Tournament - Round 2 - May 10th - Lake Pleasant

With the random draw system, round 2 was at Lake Pleasant. It isn't one of my favorite lakes, but it does have a few predominate patterns. So my game plan was to hope I guessed right on a starting area and then bounce around the rest of the day. I was going to stick with topwater early then dropshot for the most part later. I threw a whopper plopper most the morning covering water looking for spawning fish while covering water. I caught one on the plopper early and made a move to an area had caught them on in previous years. While throwing the topwater I saw a fish holding in tree limbs, I decided to toss a dropshot out and it was instantaneous. I caught that fish as well as the next fish in a scattered tree as well. I stuck with that pattern for awhile and had 4 fish. I moved into Castle to find active fish in the stained water but it ended up being a waste of time. I decided to run the tree pattern again all over the main lake and it produced fish after fish. I the decided to try some shallow reefs and kept catching them as well. I ended up with 9.5-10 lbs and it was good enough to take the win.
