10/6/12 - Webster Lake
I was able to get out on Webster for a practice day for Fed. Nation T.O.C. with my buddy Paul from my club who also qualified for it. Odd day, calm cool in the AM. Warm, and very windy in the afternoon. A couple things worked, but we couldn't find a good, consistent pattern. Pickerel were very aggressive, and the Bluegill/Sunfish wouldn't lay off the drop shot at the end of the day. When all was said and done, Paul had 4 Keeper Largemouth about 5-5-1/2lbs, also he had a couple come unbuttoned, and about 10 Pickerel. I had one 2lb Smallmouth on a spinnerbait, 1-1/2lb Largemouth on a jig for my keepers. A short Larry and Sally, 4 Hefty Pickerel, 8 Bluegill/Sunfish(all in about 10 Minutes) rounded out my day. Hopefully this weekend will be better!!!
Funny, I was out there for the NEBA tourney on 10/7 and we managed 16.1lbs for 8 fish..Going out prefishing tomorrow for the charity tourney this Sunday. Lots of people fish the grass off the beech where you were fishing, we caught all our fish from other places all on rattletraps :-)
