Weather Conditions: The days leading up to the tournament started the bass movement and made for a tuff day on the river. The temperatures averaged 76 degree. The morning began with a light fog and temperatures where in the mid 60‘s. The fog lifted about an hour after the launch and opened to blue bird skies. The day ended with temperatures in the high 70’s.

The bait of the day was plastic, plastic and more plastic a few fish came off of crankbaits. Most anglers reported catching their fish in tide water, with little acting in the main river. The anglers reported fishing in the lakes and oxbow.
