Was able to find some pretty good fish on rip rap despite the super dirty, low water conditions. The water was still pretty cold, so they weren’t eating it very well, mainly getting the back hook, but I was happy I could get a reaction bite. First bass of 2025 was a 4lber so hopefully that’s a good sign!

A very chilly and windy morning after a massive front had come through. Bite was very challenging. In this tournament there were no limits. I landed 4 and lost a bunch of others. I ended up first place using the Frittside 5 in Red Craw most of the day. I did land one on the Neko Rig. Fish were mostly on the wind blown rip rap and along dock pilings.
