The weather was great. Ok so it was 33 when they started but it really didn't affect the fishing that much. Except for one angler EVERYONE ELSE struggled. Which has pretty much been the story since the end of August. I've been told that even the guides are having a hard time satisfying their customers.
They drew Section 3 for today's tournament and I'm glad it wasn't me that drew it this time.
MLF format where every bass 10" up counts including slot fish.
