Fishing Tournament tomorrow

cwilson117 · 07-18-06, 09:52 PM

Hey maybe you guys can help me with this ,I am going to fish a tourney tomorrow and it is an evening event 6-9, It is in a river that 2 rivers that become one there is good smallmouth in the one and the other is real muddy the smallmouth river is cleaner and clearer but the two rivers combine and make a river that now is kinda murky it is sometimes good for largemouth. Now that I kinda explained the rivers what do you think would be the best lures to try as i mentioned earlier in a thread i am a solid buzzbait user. I use white and sometimes worms but im not real good with them i use a baitcaster with 20pd spiderwire braided line. Just wondering if you guys could give me some tips.

For the smallmouth i would recommend using crawdads. Real if you can find them otherwise use plastic ones. Try dragging them along the bottom and see what happens. Just reel in slow and hopefully youll win. Im rooting for you. Good Luck!!

we've been getting them to hit on small vibracraws from zoom, weightless...no buzzbait bite at all here, but knowing how the river is, try a smaller buzzbait, and be sneaky.

Rebel Craws. Tubes. The small X-Rap. Spinners, and buzzbaits.

That's what I'd start with for the smallies.

Its 10 PM here just made it back had a lot of hits, we did not fish where the smallies were. Caught a few largemouth and had a hold of 3 or 4 really nice ones but I was having trouble keeping them hooked was using a brownish colored double tailed grub with no weight. Going to have another post about hooks. Thanks you all are a great help
