sunkboat on big o Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Want info on local tournys outta lake o, have heard there is one at slims every month, heard of a couple more but wanna know whens and wheres if possible. Thanks Quote
gar-tracker Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 You must be on them, anytime people are asking about tourneys it means their catching fish. Quote
piscicidal Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Here's what I have on my calendar, regarding open tourneys on the south side of the lake... Burkes: First Sunday of the month. Clewiston. Register at Roland Martin's Slims: 2nd Sunday of the month. Belle Glade Bass Busters (Silver): 3rd Saturday of the month. Clewiston Bass Busters (Gold): 3rd Sunday of the month. Clewiston Slims: last Saturday of the month. Belle Glade. I have only fished a couple of these in the past several years, so if my info is not completely correct, I apologize. Carmen Patti has a monthly open tourney out of Clewiston also, but I'm not sure which day... Quote
sunkboat on big o Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 Wish i was on them, havent caught anything over 3.8 pounds since i picked up the new boat, but the last three weekends have been probably the worst 3 weekends to fish all year, 20plus winds and bright blue skys. Really just been trying to learn my way around all the trails on se side though. Thanks for the info on the tournys. Anyone fishing up there this weekend? I'll be there sat and sun if anyone sees a grey and blue phoenix say hi. Think carmen goes outta slims right? Quote
topwaterrob Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I'm heading to slims in a few hours to screw around for bit ill let you know what i come up with...... Quote
sunkboat on big o Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 Didnt get to go today ended up working but heading to either slims or clewiston early am, any info on better general area would be greatly apprec. Quote
topwaterrob Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Didnt get to go today ended up working but heading to either slims or clewiston early am, any info on better general area would be greatly apprec. Me and a buddy went out of Slims and tried to fish the west side of kreamer... some how the wind was dead call by my house but was howling south acrross the lake. the water was filthy and we kept moving trying to find better water but couldnt... im far from an expert on the lake, wish i could give you more but it was a pretty crappy trip... good luck Quote
gar-tracker Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Didnt get to go today ended up working but heading to either slims or clewiston early am, any info on better general area would be greatly apprec. Friday We pre fished for the Christian Trail North Shore, 2 boats flipped about 90% of the time without a bite, I caught about 15 dinks on a swim jig out in the grass. Saturday the tourny we scrapped everything and went to JS with nothing, we caught dinks all day and weighed in 5 of them.. 20lbs won it but lots of zeros and small weights, that cold spell has them shut down. We fished in, out, middle, I don't know where they are. Saw a few beds but not like I thought. I guess its a whole new ball game with this high water. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 4, 2012 Super User Posted November 4, 2012 The high water will make a fisherman out of ya, lol. Quote

I got my Butt kicked out on O Friday too!! I worked hard for a few bites and small fish!!! Quote
piscicidal Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 I had a 18-19lbs bag on Friday in about four hours. Ive got one good spot that has some nice fish staged up. I was hoping to fish Burkes today...think I could have done some damage today with the short sacks coming in. but just too much on my plate right now. I put a write up of my trip Friday on my blog...www.hawgtech.com/blog Quote

I'd been happy with a 10 pound bag on Friday haha! I flipped in the monkey box and nada!!! Thought for sure I'd get a couple in their flipping???? 1 Quote
1234567 Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Edit, a 6 pound bag would've made me happy!! Quote
piscicidal Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Glad you enjoy it! I've got some nice video from Friday. I'll put one up in a little bit...a nice 4.5lb smashing a topwater. Quote
Shane Procell Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Awesome footage Mike. The water looked pretty clear. 1 Quote
piscicidal Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 Yeah, Shane. As I wrote up in my blog...had to move around a little bit to find the kind of water I was looking for. This area really had it. Some nice fish crusing around here. 1 Quote

I spent all friday morning looking for water like that.... only found a bit way south and didnt have much luck even then.,,, nice fish 1 Quote
sunkboat on big o Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 Nice fish! Can confirm tourny was sunday, drove all the way to clewiston to fish to find out boat didnt charge for a stupid reason i will keep to myself, so turned and drove all the way back home. It as the last one they will do this year and all the big lake guys were out, surman was there mcmillans so i woulod be interested to see what the weights were as I heard some of them talking in the bait shop saying they werent on anything special. Anyone know where to find results? 1 Quote
piscicidal Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 I talked to Mikeyballzz yesterday...he fished Burke's on Sunday with Val (owner of Gambler). Apparently, 17lbs won it...13lbs cashed a check. Pretty amazing considering all the big sticks fishing...The lake is fishing tough. I'm kicking myself, a little...Conditions Sunday were pretty similiar to what I had on Friday. If my fish haven't moved in that day and a half, I had 17lbs pretty much covered. Quote
piscicidal Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 Just got off the phone with Steve Daniel...there's a big open tournament this weekend out of Scott Driver. Bob Hayes Memorial, I believe it is called. Supposed to be a really good payout... I think they're getting a little better sacks up north. Anyone who's on anything up there should probably check that one out.... Quote
sunkboat on big o Posted November 8, 2012 Author Posted November 8, 2012 Mike you are the man with the info, much apprec. Have a house in Lake Port gonna go up fri. night and fish outta harney pond sat. If I find anything might fish slims sunday, or the tourny your talking about if it is sun. Again thanks for the info Quote
piscicidal Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 No problem. BTW Carmen Patti has an open tourney Saturday out of Clewiston. I'm gonna fish that one with Jack (shallow thinker). Sounds like the lake is still fishing tough, but we're gonna give it a shot. Only the second time fishing an open tourney in 2012 for me...I did one of the Slims deals back in June. I would really like to do more of these but man its hard to find the time. Quote
sunkboat on big o Posted November 9, 2012 Author Posted November 9, 2012 might fish carmens tomorrow, does he sign up at the ramp or by anglers? Quote
piscicidal Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I fished one of carmens tourneys last year. He had the sign in at the backlot back by the bathrooms. We're not 100% sure of the details...winging it a little bit. Quote
