I'm not sure about the club tournament.. it's usually the 3rd Sunday of the month though.

As to how many people are signed up for the jackpot tournament on Nov 8th. I'll ask. You know how local guys are... always wait till the last minute. Hope they don't wait too long and all the spaces are filled up.
LOL

I went this morning (Sat) and saw where the water level dropped a good 1' from where I parked the boat on Thurs afternoon.....

Fished from 10:00 to 2:00 today and really slow.
Caught only 5 tucs and 1 red devil.
Water level really low ( 15 and a half slab above water
at the ramp.
Not too good for the tournament.
Lake Wilson low water level was on channel 7/8 news this
evening and they said DLNR will keep the level at sixty
something but today it's below 60.
Looks like hard fishing from now on.

There is a good website to check the water level. It is the USGS site. Find the Wahiawa Reservoir page and it has the water level in a graph form and you can set it to show one week or more and see where the water is and where it was. Right now it shows the level at 59.99 ft. I guess the sixty foot marker is out of the water at Boy Scout island. What did you get the tucs with ? Live bait or lures ? They sure are getting tougher to find these days. At least we can still use the ramp. The low water level makes the lake look crappy ! One giant dumping zone for the people who live along the banks..... for decades !

I'd like to know what the tucs were caught on also? Live bait or lure? If a lure, what type? I've thrown half my tackle box at them and come up goose eggs,...

It wasn't all that good but since you asked:
I caught three 7" tuc and a 2 1/2 # tuc with
live bait in the Mikimiki Flats area.
The other was a 1# tuc that I caught with a
jigging lure similar to the Kastmaster. I was
chasing some small busting tucs in front of Condo
Cliffs. The bust were so short that I never could
get my lure there so I decided to aniticipate
their movement after the bust and throw
ahead of them and I got one.
Probably just blind luck.
If the water level would just stay at one level,
then the fish would have a constant pattern.
They just want us to keep guessing.
Good luck gang.

the news was depressing, looks like we will be fishing a mudhole for awhile. this whole"we will keep it at 65ft,by keeping it 60ft" confuses me, i dont much get that thinking, its either 60 or 65, how dumb do they think we are! 5 ft vertical water is alot of water!and a big diffrence for launching and fishing. my fish on sun came by following the shad on my electronics. findthe shad which were suspended out in the middle at about 10ft in 20-30ft of water. then i cast crankbaits and a swimbait letting em sink till they were at or below the bait, then retrieving. didnt work consistantly but did get 2 tucs on a day when it would have been nada!
