Lake Moomaw, VA
This is a general thanks to all the input and posts on the site where everyone's given advice on fishing clear, deep, pressured water. Had a tournament on Lake Momaw (highland reservoir) saturday and won my first tournament off the back of a boat
 . If you're fishing this kind of water, here's what's going on at Moomaw- 49-63 degree water depending on up-river main channel (49) or down-river riprapped coves (63). Fish staging at 10-15 ft near spawning flats (gravelly, hard bottomed, weedy) close to deep water and roaming around shallow to feed. Water very clear at 12 ft +. Shad moving into coves and very active with schools of wolves shadowing them. Mama bass lurking shallow when hungry and feeding on craws. Had to move a little further off the bank and finesse the bite with lighter line (6# fluoro) and natural colored bait. Caught fish on: T-rigged GP ultra-vibe Zoom craw off riprap, C-rigged smoke lizard and GP centipede off riprap (believe it or not) and dragged up and across deeper points near flats, chartreuse/green shadrap and split shot flukes.Good luck, ya'll, and thanks again  ! Spring is here in the highlands of VA...-Pig |

Thanks guys! I don't know about being the man, Bcklash, But I gotta admit- It feels pretty cool...probably addicting
 As far as the winning bag? With what went on at Falcon these last few days, I'm a little hesitant to say, but 7-8 won the tournament... Thanks again for all the good advice on the boards!! -Pig |

Way to go PIG!!! That's exciting! Congratulations! Even if your bag was 35 lbs. lighter than from Falcon!
  What an incredible place that must be!

Thanks, BA! Falcon must be reeling right now from all the exposure. Can you imagine what it must have been like to have a 30+ pound bag and end up in 103rd place? I guess everything IS bigger in Texas...
