hey Ed, Our tourney director decided to have us on ch. 01, so thats why you couldn't reach me, I don't know what channel we will be on this weekend. You gonna come to the league event on sat. You should get a babysitter, and bring the wife for the fun.
As for your question, it didn't seem to matter wether meat or, gulp, or spoons, or cranks. Location, played a bigger part. These fish seem to school according to size, and if you caught 1 -15 incher, you could catch a dozen there. we moved 5 different times on sat to different gps. spots. Got bigger fish on sunday(day after the tourney) but thats how it always goes. 22 inches was our biggest of the weekend, but the average we boxed was 17-18. probably caught 50-60 eyes sat and friday, and just fish a few hrs on sunday, probably caught 30 on sunday to get our 15.
