This week's league was a little different than our previous fall leagues. Since Sauk Lake is not one of our normal league lakes we decided to make it a little bigger tournament. Instead of a $20 entry we made it $50 and instead of fishing until 1:00 pm we fished until 3:00 pm. All the other league rules remained in place. Despite the higher entry fee we still had a good turnout with 10 teams showing up to fish. 7 of the 10 teams were able to weigh in their limit but 1 team pretty much crushed the rest of us. 1st place weighed in 5 fish for 23.15 lbs, 2nd place had 16.88 lbs and 3rd weighed 15.54 lbs. My dad and I were first out of the money in 4th place with 13.03 lbs. The big bass for the day was 5.07 lbs.
The fishing for us was extremely tough. We started off ok with 4 keepers in the boat by about 10:30 in the morning but after that we didn't manage to catch our 5th keeper until almost 2:3o in the afternoon. So we had a really long dry spell in the middle of the day. None of are fish were anything special either. They all weighed between 2 1/2 and 3 lbs. They all came from overhanging trees in really shallow water. The best bait for us seemed to be a Strike King KVD tube in either black/blue or a green pumkin with red tails. My dad did pick up one of our keepers on a black/blue jig flipped into a tree.
