Our tournament at Lake Havasu was great. We got warmed up the night before huddling around Kelly’s boat and cooler of beer in the Quality Inn parking lot. Only 8 boats participated, but everyone caught a limit. The three top weights were 19.1, 18.83, and 17.74 pounds. The smallest bag was still 11.7. Big fish was a 6.51 largemouth. It seemed more largemouths were caught than smallies on tournament day, although more smallies seemed to show on the practice day for those who came up early. Water temperatures were around 62 degrees. There was not much of a reaction bite. It was all about fishing the beds. Bed fish were caught mostly in the larger coves both down and up river. Some were caught main lake. Typical bed lures were in play– tubes, lizards, senkos, drop shot.
Our next tournament is at Saguaro on April 28, 2012.
