The cold water is everywhere...it's just deep...try finding bait fish or fish cribs and get lures down around the 17 to 20 ft range...crank baits, depth raiders, bulldawgs...definitely a pattern that was working during the PMTT...

A pattern that I have never even attempted on the chip because we pound weeds edges, and that works...but sometimes you need to change it up...

the winning team caught 5 fish in < 6 hours...using topwater and bucktails...they just happened to win the lottery by finding a feeding frenzy...

The best part about the PMTT is seeing all of these different patterns produce...makes you think a little harder, and in the end, makes you, me, all of us, better fisherman...
