Saturday brought strong south winds and cloudy conditions for most of the tournament day from 7am, then the sun decided to peek out of the clouds the last few hours before the 2pm weigh in time. Six teams showed up to support this event and for my partner and I the fishing was tough tough and tougher. The fish we found in the tournament the weekend before were non-existent and the "peanut" bite was on. Those little ones will grow up one day. The winning stringer was brought in by the team of Lance and Garrett Rose at 12.2 for 4 fish, who also won the tourney the weekend before. This father/son team spend a lot of time on this lake and took a well deserved win on a tough day of finding keeper size bass.
