The Air was filled with Mothlike Snow and a balmy 32 degrees The water was between 53-50.5 The Roanoke Arm was terrorized. We bait fished Friday looking for all the right sizes, and sorted them out. It took longer than anticipated, but that is why we came up a day early. We eased around trying to eliminate the spots for Saturday. We had some intel in our back pocket that was saved for Saturday Morning. We pulled out of Westlake in the snow and headed to our spot. We had company. We pulled through up and down, and decided to extend a pull and try a close spot. We pulled around the corner to shad wake, and hungry fish. There was a caster there that had already caught double digits on that point. He was nice, as was I, and he graciously let us be around him, just not to close. I made a big spin out in the main lake to better my pull at the bank and bam, the tournament double was had. We caught another smaller fish right there as well. It was a good hour dose of adrenaline, and we finished our day casting around and trying to find a bigger fish. Finn had a blast, and cant wait to go back. Man we love this fishery. Stickers dont like cold......he gone

That was a fatty of a 35” Fish. Glad Finn had a blast. Lacy & Creig (the guys casting) said they couldn’t believe Everyone kept pulling bait and didn’t pick up a fluke when watching them catch one after another. If they had been in the tourney their best 2 would have placed 2nd. I think it would be great if an artificial guy placed / won
