Preparing for the tourney
Picked up tjj this morning, headed off to the pond with a mission in mind.
We been thinkin bout doin that lake Monroe tournament coming up in a few weeks, decided today to start layin down the groundwork.
Got to secret spot #1 and started doin some trollin, Bam got three right off the bat ! Then, nothin for the next couple hours.
Change up tactics, head for another part of the lake, utilizing old forgotten method of teaser jiggin with 14 ft B&M poles trailing bubble gum crank baits, Bam ! pulled in total of ten within an hour, largest was 13.5 in.
Due to someone having to "GO HOME" cause of having to work tonight we had to cut it short.
We feel we found the sweet spot of the lake but, need further research for sure, will be back.
Total for a short day (4hrs)
13 Spec's
2 Warmouth
1 Redbreast
---------------------------
We was talkin bout the different types of panfish, I did a search and below are some links to the particular ones we were wondering about.
Have a nice day...

What we was really wonderin was what does a "Stumpknocker"
look like, according to the above info, it is either/both a warmouth and shellcracker. We definitely caught a Redbreast, I'll take a pic of it before I clean em.
