    The last weekend was the classic and what a lousy weekend for it.The fishing was tuff trolling crankbaits put most of the fish in the boat there were fish caught shallow and deep with no dominant pattern .We had our best luck shallow on #7 jointed rapala,s in firetiger and#7shad raps in 9ft or deeper with chartruse working good when the sun shined and firetiger and gold black when cloudy.The bite was good before the weekend so I exspect when the weather warms and gets stable the lake is going to get good.The yellows were going good before the cool down so I exspect them to go as well when spring returns.Hopefully I can get a feild report in future when I thaw out

    The winning weight was 19# big fish sat. was 7# and we got a 6# on Sunday.If the weather was decent there would have been some big weights.I guess thats the challenge of tourny fishing not picking your days to fish but I can honestly say I am ready for some heat
