10/27/13 - Sampsons Pond Pre-fishing
My buddy Paul asked me to fish a tournament at Sampsons on 11/3, of course I agreed. We went out for a practice run the sunday before(7:30am-3:30pm). It was chilly, and a little windy, but I've been out in worse. Water temps 53-55, and the water was down a good foot to boot. Paul had never fished here, and I had only been once. We looked at a lot of the pond, but I had an idea of a few areas we would want to concentrate on. Reaction baits got nothing, but shakey head and dropshotting would get all 8 keepers we grinded out in the 6ft-10ft depth range. Our best 5 Largemouth were about 11lbs, including my 4lb 5oz chunk, and Paul's 3lber.
