Water Teamp: 68 degrees	Water Clarity: 2
Report: Lake was a little low, some of the willows were in the water and weed line was about 2 foot from the bank. We fished a tournament over the weekend and did pretty good saturday with 5 fish at almost 10 pounds fishing a plastic worm in the weeds. Sunday was alot harder with 2 fish for almost 5 pounds also using a worm. Nothing was caught by us in the willows. Weed line produced all of our fish. Our friend caught a 5.67 pound fish as we were talking to him and they ended up winning the tournament with over 22 pounds. Good job Brad and Jeremy!!!
Tips: Use plastic in the weed mats and fish slowwwwww.
