Dash for Cash Tournament weekend Sept. 18th - 19th

The Log Cabins docks

Well, tournament weekend was awesome!  The weather was perfect, and the fishing was great.  Saturday -  Practice day for the Sunday tournament.  Fished 7 am to Noon.We targeted three areas that have been producing for us lately.  Did decent and caught 10 bass.  Sunday/Tournament day - 5:30 am started the ride in the dark to the Log Cabins docks.  Launch started at 6:20 am.  Lake was calm, temp was 58 degrees and warmed to 70 degrees.  It turned out to be sunny all day.  We launched #4 and easily got to the bay we wanted first and laid claim to our area.  First cast was 7:00 am and we had three keepers we needed by 8:00 am.  At 8:30 am I caught a 3.92 lb Lunker.  We started culling and throwing back the smaller ones.  At 10:15 am we decided to return to the docks to weigh-in the big one.  That turned out to be a good move and we won the #3 hourly lunker award of $650.  Our other two fish were 2.57 lbs and 2.48 lbs.  That gave us a three fish total of 8.97 lbs, which was good enough to get us $175 and 10th place (tie) overall finish in the tournament.  The winner of the tournament weighed in 12.75 lbs.  That team also won Lunker of the Day at 5.77 lbs.  We are very pleased with 10th place as it was our highest finish ever.    Well, that wraps-up tournament weekend and another fishing report.  Until next week...
Fish On!
