I don't want anyone's secrets what technique's were successful for the guys who did well?

Stan and I placed fifth in this event and I can tell you there was no Secret technique as far as we were concerned. We had our first limit inside of 40 minutes of launching the boat and never got the boat on pad. We threw 1/4 ounce jigs with twin tail grub trailers and spinnerbaits to get that first limit. As things started to slow down we went to shakey head worms in basic green pumpkin dipped in chartreuse. We probably caught another 10 fish or so and was able to cull at least 4 times (ounces not pounds). One thing this lake will teach you is not to overthink your strategy. On Toona if you catch fish shallow and they slow down, then back out and fish a little deeper in the same areas. some folks have brushpiles and fish those, but Stan and I are too old and tired to do the work to maintain those, so we just fish the places that spots ought to hang on and if we get a largemouth then that's a bonus.
