screwed again

[carolina-rig-01]

well last weekend we fished a big money tourney here on grand. for the weeks leading up to the tourney we found a really good crankbait pattern that just got better as the water warmed. then right before the tounament a big cold front pushed through and really hurt our crankbait pattern.

well tomorrow i am fishing another tournament here on grand. as the temps got back to normal our crankbait pattern returned and we thought that we were really on our way to making a good showing. then a huge cold front passed through and dumped a bunch of sleet and snow on us today as well as some really cold rain. we pre-fished yesterday, when we put in it was 50 degrees, when we took out the temp was 35 degrees along with rain and 30 mph winds out of the north. i was suprised that our crankbait bite was still there, much weaker but still there. the water is really muddy so i am kinda hoping that the crankbait bite might hold on just long enough for us to catch 5 keepers. i figured that with the water temps in the upper 50's there would be some shallow fish that might just pull tight to some brush piles so we will probably use flipping and pitching as plans b c and d. i really hate to throw a shaky head but if we can find some clearer water i may throw that little rascal some too. anyways just wanted to rant a little about having the weather undo in one day what takes me a week to put together, i am due to catch a break anyday now.
