A cool morning bite produced some nice smallies.  The tournament started with the air temp at 66, water temp at 81, a light wind from the ENE and partly cloudy skies.  The tournament ended with the air temp at 91, water temp at 83, a light wind from the ENE and sunny skies.  The lake is about 10 - 15' low with a 2 - 4' visibility.  A total of 37 bass weighed 77.16 on paper.

Several smallies that were over the slot were brought to the scales to be weighed for big bass, but they were not big enough.  Dean Alexander caught a 21" 4.63 black 20 minutes before weigh-in to take the big bass honors.  The first place team reported catching all of their fish in Hogg Cove.  Most of their fish were caught before 9AM on flukes, crank baits, and Zara Puppies.  They caught 2 more fish after 1PM on Carolina rigged brush hogs.  The 2nd place team also had a good morning bite on spinner baits.  In the afternoon, they caught fish up the river on spinner baits.
