Fished a day and a half Tournament this past weekend on lake of the Ozarks (my home lake). These local boys are tough. I had a limit on day one and four on day two. I finished 4 ounces out of first place overall. The fish moved on the second day due to the warmer temperatures and the CORE dropping the lake. Day one was a combination of frog in the brush early me then shaky head with finesse worms in the backs of spawning coves. Day two was a whole different story. No top water and no fish in the backs. I realized it quick enough to get four before the noon weigh in. I Caught them on day two off secondary points in the same coves but on a light c/r with small plastics and a mojo rigged centipede in 8-15’ of water. I did have big fish on Sunday-4+ lbs. 2nd place and the big fish pot for the 2nd day provides me enough to put gas in my boat the next few months.
Congrats EC! Sounds like a lotta fun.

Nice catching Eye, great job changing up on a short day two. Do they often change water levels in the middle of a weekend? You would think that they have all week to figure out where they want it to be. Good job, and congrats.
Good job, Eye !
Those are some nice bass, for sure.

Thank you sir.
This is a CORE Fred. They change water levels when the so desire. Doesn’t make sense some times. I have an app on my phone that gives the hourly report on generation and lake levels. And I use it.

Ok,now I've got it. That's who controls our biggest fluctuating lake too. In fact I might be going there this weekend,depending on the weather. Thanks, and congrats again.
