AZ Head to Head Bracket - Roud 3 - Bartlett Lake

I had been out to both Bartlett and Lake Pleasant over the last week or two. The fishing at both lakes was great and both patterns were completely different but solid. For Round 3, Nick wanted to wait until the night of to draw lakes, it came up Bartlett. I had plenty of confidence going in and was going to stick to the game plan. Early my bite was fizzling and was trying to figure out what to do to adjust to the fish repositioning. I figured it out and once again started catching them on the carolina-rig but the moved to the steeper drops on the reefs and on the isolated boulders. Once I figured it out I got my limit quick and started culling. I knew was going to need some solid fish and Nick is a guide there and won 2 previous tournaments on the lake. It was another 50+ fish day and the weights were close. Nick took the win by under half a pound. I fished clean just didn't have the right bites in time. The fishing was so good I went back out and my first 3 casts all produced fish over 2 and would have propelled me to a win by a hefty margin, that's fishing though. I had a blast in the series and look forward to next season.
