FLW Series #2 Lake Wheeler, AL Water Temp: 60 Pre-Spawn
Once again I have no internet service. I was able to find a wireless network if I sit outside in the parking lot. Today is our day off and we’ve been here practicing for 4 days. The water temperature was getting right for the spawn, but a nasty windy cold front blew in after the first day of practice. The first day of practice was good, with nice weather and biting fish. Sam and I both caught about 14lbs. Sam was throwing a shaky head and I was throwing a crankbait. The second day took a turn for the worse; with the wind changing from a south wind to a north wind. It was cold and windy, but I managed another 13lb bag on a crankbait and Sam had about 10lbs. My 4lber put me over the 10lb mark. I think a decent fish will be the difference between doing alright and winning the tournament. The 3rd day was a little slower, but we both caught about 10lbs. The final day of practice was more of the same. The weather warmed up a bit today and it feels pretty good. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be in the mid 60’s with the wind changing back out of the south again. The temperature should be in the upper 70’s by weeks end making for an interesting change. The fish are ready to move up and a sunny, warm day could be all it takes. Most of the fish we caught in practice were filled with eggs; a 14” fish weighed about 2 lbs. I really feel like I could do well in this tournament if I don’t get the kind of draws I’ve been getting. The weight I caught in practice would have put me in the top 10. We’ll see what happens!
