Conditions: We had cool air temps w/cloudy skies & on & off showers but the day turned out to be decent w/intermittent partly and sunny skies. Air temps were in the low 60s & water surface temps were in the high 60s to low 70s.
Winning Strategy: Louie’s pattern was to attack the early morning bite with Pop-Rs & once that bite turned off, he switched to catching & culling his fish w/a Yamamoto black spider jig in 8-10 feet of water. He also caught some quality fish casting a Strike King KVD Red Eye Shad. Making wise decisions, as weather conditions dictated, proved to all why Louie was declared the champion of this event.
Next Divisional Tournament: Division 5’s next early bird tournament will be on September 30, 2012 & will be held at Long Pond, Harwich, MA at the town ramp.
