I had a tournament at Swinging Bridge today with Team Bassmasters. We arrived at the boat launch by 6:30AM and boats were launched and the tournament officially began at 7AM. My partner and I worked several coves using every lure in our tackle boxes to catch keepers. The popper was successful for some top water action along with the spinnerbait. I caught several fish, all under 12 inches. After a few long hours of catching small fish I switched over to a neon green hula grub to land a 1.3lb smallie on the first cast with that specific lure. The hula grub got me a nice size Perch but after that the bite was just as tough. Before the tournament ended I got another strike on a spinnerbait only to have the smallie spit it out. Swinging Bridge had tons of smallies so we were not able to boat any Largemouths. We had a blast!
