Are you in the Bassinators tournament? My little brother is in that on sunday too. But I will help you since my little brother won the last tournament. You will want one rod with a senko, one with a carolina rig, one with a jig and pig, or anything else you have confidence in. If you need help with spots as well just ask!

I just set up my rods for a jr. tournament that I have tomorrow. Not the same one as yours, but this is what I got set up: spinnerbait, t-rigged worm, jig, fluke, senko. I can fish deep, shallow, fast and slow. I mainly try to cover all the areas in a situation where I haven't prefished the lake.

I also use all lures I have true confidence in. This will give you a positive attitude to start off the day knowing you got lures on that you know you can catch bass on.

Man its gonna be hot! Good luck!

yes it is the bassnatetor tourney and any spots will help i have a small stop on the south east side of north reef that is loaded with fish and no one is fishing it but i herd lots of fish were being caught on the south end of the lake any spots around there gps coordanates mabe ?? thanks Nick

Right now all the fish I've found have been schooled up in deep water. I fish these 3 spots feel free to try them, the SE corner of coney island about 100 yards out throwing carolina rigs. The Clay Banks there is a drop off, from 14-20. Again fishing that with carolina rigs, one final spot I try is the Rock Dock fishing all the way around it using carolina rigs, Jig and Pigs, even a senko has produced fish.

Remember: Today the ABA had a tournament out there so your fish may not be where you had found them, don't get discouraged, try something new. Throw things that no one else is throwing, it more times than not will make all the difference.

Also I will be at the weigh-in tomorrow. To see how all you guys did. If you see a red s10 with FM decals on the side feel free to say Hi.

Hey Matt, shouldn't they call Coney Island "Raptor Island or Bird turd Island" I couldn't believe how noisy they were. I worked around that area for hours on Saturday morning for Ski's to no avail.

[bassman186]

Hahaha yeah that would be a better fit, It sure can be noisy, it reminds me of the island in the 1st Jurassic Park movie for some reason. Where were you trying for Muskies? I've had my best luck on the SE Corner, both up close near shore and along the weed point that I mentioned above for Bass.

[ZOKU]

Not sure if this is too off-topic or not... but does anyone have a link that shows the tourney results from this weekend on Waconia???

[bassman186]

Hey Nick;

Yeah I asked my brother who you were I was gonna talk to you after the tournament but I think you left right away. Anyway yeah he caught a huge bag. I'm out there all the time fishing with him, teaching him new things each time. But with the wind yesterday it made fishing tough.

Are you in the state jr. tourney in August on Prior lake? I hear theres supposed to be a good turnout this year, maybe 50 jrs. this year up from about 35 that we had last year. I will be fishing it just wondering if you were too.
