Came out expecting top water to be firing off due to the clear morning and stormy night. There was just enough chop on the water and wind to kill any bite though. Water was probably 5-6' visibility. Wind was blowing 15mph+. We pulled into the south bay and found some in the pads, and in the channel under docks. Few and far between so we went to ther other side of the lack and got skunked, moved again and picked up another on a Kaera, and a final one on a Horny Toad. Overall ended up with a bag of 5 keepers, but not very happy about it.

I'll just say this was a rough tournament. It was hot, windy, tons of pleasure craft and we couldn't find the fish. Managed grab two keepers under docks with a wacky room and a handful of of fish just under 14" We had just under 3lbs with 2 keepers. Weights were- 13.81 lbs 12.73 lbs 11.89 lbs Big Bass - 3.89 lbs (smallie)
