Last night was 6th event on the FAB Tour schedule. Dave Larsen and I went out to Cedar Sunday, after fishing minnetonka, just to look around. We drove around for about 2 hours and didn't really catch any fish. We put together a plan though after eliminating water and figured we would give it a shot.

Cedar is a dirty water lake with plenty of boat docks along with slop and reeds in areas. I am not a huge fan of fishing dirty water but I know it will tend to keep fish shallower so we started on some reeds in the best looking area of the lake. As boat number one, no other boats were in our starting spot but neither were the fish. we moved to some pads and started to throw a Spro Frog around. I caught a 14 inch fish to get us started. Not the quality of fish you hope for when you throw the frog but a fish is a fish. We moved to the docks and I managed to fight the wind enough to get a nice 2+ pound fish on one of my hand tied Black/Blue jigs. Dave caught a nice fish on a Ring Fry and I caught one more on a Senko. With four in the well, we headed down lake to a spot where we had fish blow up on a frog Sunday. We spent an hour in there looking for a big fish and didn't catch a one. In hind sight we probably wasted too much time in there. With about one half hour left we moved back to the reeds we had started on. I like reeds late in the evening. I feel the fish will move into them as light fades and last night they did. It only took a couple minutes and Dave was horsing a 3.5 pounder out of the reds on a Mojo rig. This fish anchored our limit but we still had a little 12" fish I wanted to get rid of. With about 15 minutes to spare I hooked into another 2+ on my jig to cull out that 12 incher. We headed to the scales cautiously optimistic. Fishing had been tough and we caught a total of 7 fish with 6 being keepers.

As it turned out other teams had struggled. Only one other team brought in a limit and they were mostly small. our bag of over 11 pounds put us easily into first. Dave's big fish was also good enough for the big fish pot. A nice 221 dollar check for 3 hours a fishing had Dave and myself smiling on the ride home. The win should also move the team up in the year standings. Possibly into first with just 2 events to go.

Dave and John will be fishing the next two weeks as I spend some quality time with the baby. Hopefully they can keep up the momentum for the team.
