We were at the tourney that was held there yesterday. We prefished Friday, it was brutal. I fished 3 hours were the tourney grid was out in front of the ramp, no fish seen. We made a pilgrimage across the lake to the north and moved 8 times with not one fish marked. I fished every depth from 6' to 90' and never even marked a fish. Our last move we found some small perch in 20 fow. Pat is correct- I would guess all predator fish are around and keying on the small perch. My buddy got one 19" bow at this location, I still never marked a fish other that the small perch.
On a better note, we placed excellent in the tourney on Saturday. We each caught one fish. Only 27 were caught out of 500+ people. I caught a 2.18 bow that won $500 for 7th place. My buddy got a 1.22 bow that landed him in 14th to win a boot dryer and an aquaview camera. My 9 year old son took 21st with a .85 bow winning around $200 worth of stuff. We luckily capitalized on our only bites of the day and it paid off with over $1,000 in cash and gear. It was a really well put on event, those guys know how to do it. A 3.3 bow won the four wheeler. I don't think the lake took really any pressure to speak of, as everyone was within a 200x200 yard grid right out from the ramp. Different format, but it worked better than I anticipated. Good luck if you go- I would hit somewhere else tho.
