In order to get the most tournaments possible in a year we now start the next year in December. Today, which was 34 at the start, turned out pretty good. A lot of mostly small fish were caught. But when you have cold fingers any type of bites helps the angler forget his fingers and concentrate on the fish.
Todays fish were mainly caught in 5-6 feet on drop shops, T-rigs, C-rigs, and rattle traps.
This is a 5 fish limit, all fish count over 10" including slots since all fish are measured, recorded and released on the spot.
