A friend and I have been fishing local Sunday open tournaments and have had a hard time establishing a pattern. It's not just us though, we won last weekend with 3 keepers at 4.5 pounds. Generally in this river you can catch a few and figure out what's going on, but this fall and winter has been the opposite. A lot of people are saying that hurricane Irene screwed the fishery up, but we can catch a few. One on a jig here, another on a crank there. I know to not rely on history and to rely on what the fish tell you, but when you can only catch 5 or less in a day it gets frustrating. What would you all do?
