The weather was nice for Saturday with air temps around 64 degrees in the am on up to 79 in the pm. We did have a little shower before & during blastoff but nothing to damper the anglers efforts!! Water temps averaged about 72 degrees. Winds were nonexistent in the am up to about 7 mph in the afternoon. There were a lot of bass weighed in but most were small. Kerr is coming right along and the fish are looking very healthy.

The Father/Son Team of Chuck & Hunter Byrd won this PBC event weighing in 5 bass at 16.20 lbs. and also won the Tournament Within a Tournament (TWT) for a total of $2,955 in winnings.

Most of the fish were caught on WLS shaky heads, Jig combos, swimbaits, chatterbaits, Spinnerbaits and Crankbaits inanywhere from 1 to 10 feet of water. Most of the bass had already spawned!
