Old Hickory Lake was Cedar City stop number five on the tournament schedule. OHL is one of those lakes that can be feast or famine depending on the mood of the fish as well as your ability to adapt as an angler. Keeping an open mind and covering water was the key to my ability to put five keeper in the livewell. I did have one dead fish and I was penalized half a pound. If it wasn't for this dead fish penalty I would've been in 5th place with 10.7 instead of farther down the leaderboard with 10.23. I learned the hard way that you can have TOO much ice and since my livewell is an actual cooler the ice did not melt like I had anticipated. I'll be honest, I panicked, it caught me off guard. What I should have done was bailed out as much of that cold water as possible and refilled my livewell with warmer water. Some lessons are only learned the hard way.
Later in the day the spinnerbait would get slapped at, but my hook up ratio diminished significantly. I fell back on my ole faithful tube and it landed me the rest of the fish I needed. When the fishing gets tough falling back on a confidence bait and slowing down your presentation can turn a tough day into a great day.
My productive baits were the War Eagle Finesse Spinnerbait / Zorro Baits Long Arm Aggravator Spinnerbait / Gambler Tube / Googan Baits Slim Shake Worm.
