Omnia Fishing Report: Grand Lake Tournament Recap Tournament Overview We headed out to Grand Lake of the Cherokees bright and early on Saturday morning around 3:00 a.m. With no practice time during the week (thanks to work), we jumped right into the pre-spawn action. Conditions were warming up, and the water was definitely on the dirtier side. Our Game Plan We decided to stick around the Wolf Creek area near takeoff and focus on some classic shallow water power fishing. We started off with chatterbaits and spinnerbaits but didn’t have much luck at first. Eventually, the crankbait turned out to be the hero of the day, especially in that dirtier water. We focused on main lake and secondary points, looking for any areas with a bit of wind or baitfish activity. The fish weren’t everywhere but when we found them we got mutiple bites in small areas. Key Catches and Results We managed to land a solid 5.5-pounder that really anchored our bag. After that, we filled out our limit with a few more fish over the 3-pound mark. When all was said and done, we weighed in at 17.89 pounds, which landed us in 14th place out of a field of 198 boats not too shabby. Final Thoughts We didn’t need to run all over the lake. Once we found a couple of key areas holding fish, we just stuck around and milked those spots for bites every hour or so. The pre-spawn bite at Grand Lake is definitely about to heat up, so if you’re heading out there soon, crankbaits and even a few chatterbaits can get the job done.

Bass and saugeye stacked up on secondary points and gravel flats near points going back into spawning areas. Mainly hitting the jerkbaits and cranking the gravel bars. Picked up a few on a jackhammer and a jig when slowing down on some deeper points

So this report predominantly covers the period from 27 May to 1 June. The water is going through a lot of change with the rapid rise in water and the rapid fall in water. There are some stable fish offshore setup on humps and brush piles, but it’s selective and if the pressure is up, the bite gets tough. If the buck brush is still flooded there are numerous bite options including buzz baits, craws, worms, and spinnerbaits. Additionally, early you may be able to find an agressive shad spawn. Slower presentations were more productive. Caught largies and smallies both.

This bite should get nothing but better as the shad spawn heats up. The bite isn’t fast and furious but staying with it is the key if you’re looking for 5-6 big bites.

Caught spots and largemouth fishing flooded bushes with the VMC tokyo rig and Maxscent creature hog. The Tokyo rig seemed to get in and out of the brush better than the texas rig.

The bite was slow, being that this local pond is highly pressured year round , but the big bites are out there just have to slow down and fish spot and break them down. Ended up catching a total of 5 bass with the two biggest going 4lbs & 6lbs

Find the bait! Find the largemouth! This place has a healthy population of fish, seemed like you can go just about anywhere and catch some nice spotted bass. That day, the largemouth and smallmouth were feeding together. Pushing balls of shad around in 20 feet of water. The 2.8 matched the shad perfectly that time of year!
