I had some time to take the boat for a rip at the end of the day so I decided to make the most out of it. The water was probably 2 inches of visibility. The conditions were pretty windy on the main lake (15-25) and the water temps were anywhere from 72-75. It was a 80 degree day and was cooling off once the sun had started to set. I couldn’t get a moving bite going really so I decided to pitch to some docks and was also skipping to docks, I was getting some bites skipping it in the backs of docks but not a lot of quality. I moved to the inlet and started to fish some lay downs. That’s where the quality was and I caught a decent one for the north county! (3-9) I was fishing an outkast tackle Cage Feider jig, it was 1/2 oz and the color was black sapphire. I paired this up with a Strike King Rage Craw chunk in black with blue flake. I fished it on a 8.1 Daiwa Tatula Reel and a 7 ft Medium Heavy rod with Suffix 30 lb connected by a fg knot to 20lb Suffix Advanced Fluorocarbon.

Had a tournament on this body of water and thought docks was the way to go, I was wrong but ended up catching 31.38 lbs for a two day event here to get me second and lose by a pound and a quarter and get second. Really like to catch them on a Jig here but I couldn’t get it going, my last resort was skipping a wacky rig around to get bites. I was catching dinks to 3 and a halves so I didn’t switch. MaxScent works for sure! Skipped a different brand around in the morning until I broke it off, re-tied and put a general on. Skipped the three docks I just skipped too before I broke off and caught a 3.02, 2.76, and a 2.20 and basically glued it in my hand the rest the tournament.
