Im ready for this weekend. Im leaving on Friday morning to go home, get my boat, and head to do some pre-fishing for a tournament on Saturday morning. We have a tournament trail tounrament on Flint Creek in Wiggins. Hopefully i win or place high because im needed some money bad. I plan on concentrating mostly off points that are adjacent to deep water. The fish are staging on those points, and soon they will be venturing onto the flats for fall. I plan on fishing mostly soft plastics once the sun comes up, but first thing that morning i will be fishing top water baits in shallow water with thick floating grass matts.
If the soft plastic bite is slow, i will be targeting fish suspended on sunken rift raft and gravel beds. I will be throwing a crankbait, mostly a chartruese Lucky Craft or Bandit 3200 series. Either pattern i feel comfortable fishing because of the previous success I have had up there before on them. I hope there will be cloudy skies all day and windy. Rain would be nice so i can have more time throwing topwater baits up shallow looking for a nice stringer to weigh in.
