I got up around 4:00 as usual on a tourny day.  I had all the rods that I wanted rigged and ready for the day.  Of course Cache Custom Lures were on every rod.  When I throw plastic it's a CCL that's on my hook.

We started in the same place as the day before with pretty much the same conditions in the morning.  Overcast and a slight breeze.  But the fish were not responding today.  I threw the Trigger shad and then followed with the Trigger Worm on a shaky head.

As soon as I realized that the top water was not going to pan out I pretty much just threw the shaky head and drop shot the rest of the day.

My first fish came on the shaky head with a CCL Real Nightcrawler Trigger Worm.  It went a whole 12 1/4.  The next two fish came from the drop shot with a CCL finesse worm in Smokeberry color.  My last fish came on a CCL Trigger Shad.

The day was very active even though there were only 4 boated.  The local panfish were aggressive so throwing the small lures kept me setting the hook most of the day. 

I did break a hook on the drop shot which probably cost me another keeper and during the schooling action I had one more hook up but it came unbuttoned before the boat.
