Water Teamp: 66	Water Clarity: 2
Report: Fished a weekend tournament and didnt do so well. Caught 1 fish which went 2.26 lbs for the 2 days and got 11th place. Winning weight was a little over 8lbs. Very tough!! Caught mine on a black jig with brushhog trailer in the back of the weed beds. Be patient and fish slow. Did not get any on top water. Had 1 blow up at a frog but that was all. Have no good info for anyone other than that.
Tips: Fish slow and be persistent. I heard of alot of different things that caught fish. Senkos, spinnerbait, jig, buzzbait, no specific colors. Hope that helps a little.
