OLY Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 So I am just getting over pneumonia, and havent fished for about 3 weeks. I have a club tourny up on Ida this weekend and haven't done any prep, if anyone is willing to give me some pointers I would appreciate it, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduty Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It might be a busy lake this weekend. I think the FOM legacy series is having a tournament on Ida this weekend also. I have never fished it, but everything I hear about Ida is good. Pick your poison, brown ones or green ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 You will catch a TON of fish. Just have to hope you can get a few better ones. I would start on some rocks with topwaters in the early AM for brown ones, then hit docks and weedlines for green ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Cecil know for which he speaks.. Pre-fishing out there last year I know we touched over 200 fish one day for 3 guys.. but nothing over 16".. was crazy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Ek Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Water temps. are still in the low 70's and the fall pattern has not started. So stick with the late summer patterns. If you chase brownies, try any hump 20-foot or shallower and drop-shot it or T-rig. The humps with some weeds on them are better (chara grass).

OLY Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well I finished in last place with 6 fish for 11.87, ton of 14 inchers with a giant 16.25 kicker. Fished deep all day dt 10 over some deep coontail, cabbage mix was best for me. The guys that won had 6 for 18.87 fishing weightless wacky worms in the reeds 4ft or less in 20+mph winds, go figure.

rangerforme Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Was that Ida tournament an inch tourney then or actual weight, 6 for 18lbs for green ones is a big back out there. Lots of 2.5lbers now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
