Deep Creek Lake

Prefished for a tourney out of Deep Creek today. Got to run around in a 20 ft Bass Cat w/ a 250 Merc
Front was blowing through and it was about 55deg. when we launched at 6am
Ive been reading various reports on tough fishing and minimal results...it was tough fishing.
So here I found myself in a lake that has already started fall draw down ( down over 2 ft) and on a cold front day...= tough bite.
I flipped and skipped tubes ( my secret color) and had a 5 legal fish limit in a few hrs. I ended up with about a dozen fish today and the best five weighed in the 7.5 range. Defintely tough fishing, BUT a bag like that would actually score fairly well in a tourney considering how this lake has been fishing.
Wind blown shoreline, under docks, downed timber and grass beds in deeper water all produced.
A 12" yellow perch and small northern pike were also boated today.
