Had a tournament in the pouring rain. Fish still don't seem to be set up for summer. Caught my limit shallow, with 4 of 5 fish coming from docks. Caught one on a weed edge in about 5'. Finished 3rd and won big bass with the pictured bass. All of our fish including the 5 weighed in were caught on a black Feider Fly by Outkast tackle.
