Hey guys, fairly new to this site. I am fishing a small tournament this weekend. Here are the expected conditions.
Location: Connecticut.
Water Temp as of yesterday 56-58
Water was very stained yesterday (only 1-2 feet clarity) Not typical of this small 100 acre lake though.
Supposed to be 76 today (Thursday) and 70 on Friday.
Saturday 4-22-06 (Tournament day) expected to be Mostly Cloudy, low of 41, high of 63 with rain developing in the afternoon.
I was thinking with the warm weather here (finally) the bite could turn on if the water temps reach 60 by Saturday. I will probably pitch a Jig into some laydowns, but any other suggestions??
Is it too early for a Buzz Bait?
Please provide what bait you would throw with color, weight, presentation etc.
By the way, this lake is known for big LMB and no SMB
Thanks
