Fished our first club tournament of the year and had a slow day. Stayed in the main area of the lake and focused on points mainly. Was able to get 2 fish on a Shakey head with a Zoom Trick worm casting near some standing brush/timber near the kayak launch near the main bridge. Tried several moving baits but was unable to get any takers.

Fishing the large hump near the bride was location that produced the only fish of the outing. Slow rolling a Duo Realis spin bait was the ticket.

Fished Little Seneca Lake for a few hours after our club tournament was canceled due to high winds and a small craft advisory on the Potomac River. The bite was slow, but we found a couple fish, including this beauty. Fish are still in pre-spawn mode as a result of recent heavy rain and colder than normal temperatures over the past couple weeks. Water temperatures have not risen out of the upper 40s and low 50s in most areas, so the spawn is still to come.

Fishing off a ledge on one of the main points of the lake. Drop off was from 14 ft to 26 ft. Largemouth took the Yum Dinger Texas Rig weightless and weedless on a 4/0 EWG Hook with a screw lock. Largemouth bit it on the initial fall.
