Pool 2 early practice results
Well let's get right to the point!
Yep, no fish..... I did have two very good bites on a tube, they were either both pike or I had bad spots in my line on both hooksets, tough to say. I may have had a couple bites on a Rapala Fat 3 and a SWL Quickstrike spinnerbait, but tough to say. I spent most of the day alternating between a tube & a white swim jig. I also threw crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbait and jigs. Kind of amased I could not get bit on reaction baits with water in the main channel at 54 degrees.
To add insult to injury, I snapped my transducer off my trolling motor and my FLW fantasy did not fall in the right order, so no big prizes this week.
I am hoping to get back out on Pool 2 this Saturday. Congrats to KVD for being a stud and winning on an unlikely body of water (Smith Mtn) for him and Stetson Blaylock had a great win on Lake Norman, former co-angler phenom, now FLW tour pro winner! Too bad Mr. Moynagh could not make surge today and get a big win.
Also look for announcements on group winners for my Fantasy Fishing leagues, I have got some new prizes this week!

Rich,
I thought that in Pool 2 the bass were catch and relaese only. I have a co-worker whose brother caught a 5+ smallie and got second place in a tourney with a total weight of 18-19 pounds? How can you hold a tourney on catch and release only waters?

Yes, it is a continuous Catch & Release season for Bass, Walleye & sauger. Your co-worker must either be Brad or Clay's brother....
The way they fish a tournament, is called a paper tournament, so fish are caught measured for length, immediately released & then converted to pounds at the landing by a predetermined conversion scale, usually your partner measures or verifies your catch in these type events.
Our club is doing a similar event on May 17th
