Pre-Fishing Continues to work

Last weekend I fished some backwaters with my uncle. I found a neat bank
with some brush cover. It dropped off to 8' within a few feet of the bank,
and there were some scattered under water trees in the area. I caught one
fish flipping a spinner bait to the bank and letting it drop to the bottom.
WE didn't go back and work the bank thoroughly. We just moved on to some
other areas.

Saturday Manual Garcia and I were fishing the local Desert Bass tounament
and we decided to try some of my spots. Manual pulled two more fish off
that bank letting a wacky rigged Senko drop to the bottom right were it
dropped down to 8+ feet deep. Both were within 20 feet of the fish I caught
the previous weekend.

Later int he day I pulled a 3.15 lb fish off an under water tree in ten feet
of water off an otherwise featureless bottom. I was actually looking for a
rock in that area that I had noticed on my sounder before. The rock had
held two fish so I was figuring any fish in the area would be holding on
solo features like the. While I can't directly credit that fish to specific
pre-fishing, I can say I was looking for that type of circumstance in that
area because of what I had noticed before.

Our three fish were nothing spectacular, but they got us a 2nd place big
fish and a fourth place overall. Doesn't sound like wonderful fishing, but
I'm not unhappy. The moon was nearly full and it set about mid morning. ON
top of that we were fishing a couple days after storm front conditions.
There was a tropical storm near the beginning of last week off the coast.
We had windy and front like conditions through out most of last week,
although the weather was beaughtiful on saturday. A bit cold first thing in
the morning, but a great day.

GREAT job Bob, at least you're fishing! Sounds like, even better, you're
learning too. Hope you marked that tree with a waypoint, those spots are
priceless. Sounds like you might of forgotten to do that with the rock in
question though...
