Great Herring Pond Tournament

This was the 2010 season opener for the Cabin Fever Bass Club. The weather was sunny and windy, and with Great Herring being very open and wind-swept, it made for a choppy and rough day. Water temps were in the high 50s. The fishing was rough for most of the day. My boater picked up 3 smallies early in the day fishing a tube in 10-15 feet of water off the first break. I had a couple nibbles but didn't stick any of them. I threw jerkbaits, rattletraps, and a jig, all with no takers. Later in the day, the water was heating up a bit, and we looked in a little more shallow. I managed to pick up a small keeper smallmouth on an Ima Flit jerkbait in shallow water, and one slightly larger keeper drop-shotting the dropoff of one of the mid-lake humps. The top places all noticed the fish moving up on beds in the afternoon, and ended up filling out limits that way. The winning bag was around 9.3 lbs, with the lunker smallie just under 3lbs and the lunker LM at 2.5lbs. I placed in the middle of the pack, with 2 fish for 1.98lbs.
