Weather was partly cloudy with light winds gusting to 10 mph. Fished 3 days, 1 practice day and 2 tournament days. Practice day we were able to find smallmouth on beds using a 4: wacky rigged Senko. They would pick it up and move it off the bed and drop it. would not set the hook except for one 3lbs 9oz Largemouth that hooked itself. Found probably 20 beds with fish on them throughout the day. 1st day we never made it to our spot due to motor issues, so we worked the bank heading back toward the launch. was able to boat a few non keepers on the wacky rig. lost 1 keeper on a nose hooked 4" Caffeine shad in Green Pumkin with tail dipped in chartreuse. had a few bites with a 3/8 oz Swim jig working it through laydowns but they were typically hitting the pinchers.
