I fished this morning from 7am to 10am. I landed 3 legal fish, and saw
another 10 or 11 legal or near legal fish. I have a tournament next
saturday, and wanted to leave the fish I could see for next weekend if
needed. The problem is I am thinking those fish are going to spawn in
the next couple days, and I will be looking at a possible post-spawn
pattern. Hopefully there are enough fish that they staggered the
spawning times. Also, hopefully my smallie pattern holds up. I am
guessing I will need at least 18lbs (6 fish ) to win, and currently I am
putting together about 12lbs, but I haven't fished my smallie
pattern,and each time out I have caught a fish close to 4lbs. Given 7
or 8 hours out there I hopefully can pick up 2 or 3 of those.

Any input would be great.

Thanks guys
