Sinclair
Sunday - May 22, 2011 - day 41
Spalding County Sportsman Club tournament, Lake Sinclair, Sunny, very hot, water 80 degrees, very little breeze. Fished 6:15 AM to 3:30 PM At daylight I went to a grassbed and got a hit on a frog on second cast but didn't hook it. Couple of casts later I got a two pounder on the frog. I worked grass beds hard with frog, spinnerbait and trick worm until the sun got on them but no more hits. Ran down to a deep point and fished it - it was covered with baitfish and fish but could not get a bite - water is very muddy. Ran to place where we had caught some small fish yesterday and seen some good fish in shallow water on a rocky point. Water much clearer - was within site of the dam. Fished it and landed a13 inch bass on a Texas rigged worm - two at 9:05. Worked on around the point and on the next one got another 13 inch bass on a Senko on a jig head - three at 9:45. Worked the clearer water hard but got only one more short fish. Ran back up the river and saw current was moving under the bridge, and the point at the mouth of the water intake for the power plant was open, no one on it. A guide called this point the biggest community hole on the lake in a magazine article a few years ago. I never pass it without fishing if if no one is on it. I let the boat drift with the current, casting to the point. When I got to the end of the point and was turning the boat to get in position I got a hit and tried to set the hook over my back. Keeper bass jumped and threw the jig head Senko. I threw right back and caught another 13 inch keeper = finally four in boat at noon. Kept working the point and about 15 minutes later got my fifth keeper - filled my limit. I figured all the fish I could catch here would be about the same size so I decided to run way up the river and throw a buzzbait the last two hours, hoping for a big bite. I did catch three bass up there, two that culled my smallest bass but barely, and one throwback. At weigh-in there were 7 limits out of 12 people. Five at 7.46 pounds won, five weighing 7.39 was second, third was five at 6.23 and my five whoppers weighing 5.68 was fourth. My 2.09 pound fish that hit the frog was second biggest bass, big one weighed all of 2.57. Very tough day for decent fish but lots of small bass. Ronnie http://fishing,.about.com |
