Last minute report

Well I spent about three hours on Lake Ovid today and it was SLOW. I fished with Matt Zelienka and between us we had three bites and caught two small fish. Matt has fished the lake routinely for the past few weeks and he has seen the fishing go from good to miserable in the span of two weeks.

The water temps have dropped about ten degrees to the mid-60's over the past week and the rain today may drop it even more. I was flipping a tube and a jig and will probably do the same tomorrow, looking for bigger bites. I talked to two other club members who were on the water this weekend and the results were similar.

The good news is that the sun will be out tomorrow and maybe that will improve the fishing. Also, in a tournament like this when the bites may be at a premium it could only take a few fish to get a win so anyone could pull it off. Hope to see everyone at the launch tomorrow and drive safe.
