Again launched from Callville about noon. Surface temp 56.5
Calm and overcast. Motored upstream of Hamblin Bay. Still fishing with same set ups as Friday. Same general structure.
But today was not Friday. I was reminded of Mark Zona singing: "looking for love in all the wrong places" on ESPN.
That's what happened to me. American Bass had a tournament and maybe 16 rigs in the parking lot. Half the field came out of the Narrows to get back to the weigh in.
Caught a very small smallmouth on dropshot and finished the day where I should have begun; 40° sloping chunk rock bank with some brush and sun exposure. Surface temps near sunny rock about 57°
I saw one medium sized smallie in a holding pattern in 15 ft of water and got bit on jig but missed another one.
Still on main lake points.
