I went down to the big-g last Tuesday thru Sunday. I prefished for the big bass splash that was held this past weekend. On Tuesday afternoon i went to my first spot and found that the fish was in 2.5 -4.0 fow throwing a chrome and blue xr50 one knocker my best went 7.03 with a few 4lbers and 3lbers. On Wednesday and Thursday went to a few more areas that i had caught fish in the past and found the same thing 4's and 3's nothing big in those areas.My partner got to camp at daylight on Friday so we headed out to sherch new water and found more 4's and 3's with two that went over 5lbs each. We decided to start the tx saturday morning where i had caught the 7.03 get to that area and it looked like and christmas tree with all the boats there i had 17 boats within 100 yards of us. first hour i caught a 6.34 and did not have time to get to the weigh-in for that hr. we weighed it the 7-8 hr and i got 7th. went back to where we started that morning and the first cast caught another a little over 6lb. moved a little peace down and caught one just a little over 5lb. at 1:30 i had move closer to goose pond and had a 6.59 and that one was got for 11th for that hour. It wast taking about 6.5 or better to get a check. Sunday caught another one over 6lb in the same spot i caught them in Saturday and that one did not get into the money on any hour again you had to have better than a 6.5 to get in the bottom of the money . all fish where caught on the xr50.
