First, CFF #5 was my first CFF tournament and I really enjoyed it. I met a great bunch of fishermen and had a ball. It was my first fishing trip with ChooChooSnakeMan too and I truly enjoyed fishing with him. <br /><br />We ran to our first spot and worked our way to the back of a small pocket thinking they would be up bedding. Throwing green pumpkin shaky head and a chatterbait. We hit 2 non-keeper LM on the plastic and a 10-12 lb magnum drum on the chatterbait. We saw several beds but no females. We then hit a couple of staging areas near known spawning areas but no takers. We tried a few more spawning areas and hit 4 more non-keepers, saw more males on beds and some really clean beds along gravel / rocky banks (no leaves). Saw one fish that might have been a female but she wasn&#39;t locked on a bed, she was super spooky. <br /><br />Beautiful day to be on the water. <br />Thanks for letting me participate!
