It was a picture perfect start to the day, it was 50 degrees and
the skies were clear with light winds and everyone at the docks
were talking about it. Most people could not remember the last
time in this tournaments 12 year history where the weather was
going to be this nice. The fish are in a prespawn mode to
spawning, depending where you were fishing. The only down side to
this day was that the winds were to pick up and the river was
dirty and rising. After the tournament was completed, everyone
found out that the fish were cooperating for everyone, but most
could not find the quality bites needed to compete.
