April tournament 2 months earlier than last year - big fish and total wgt were almost
identical, maybe 1 or 2 oz difference.
Fish were however, were more active - not as stressed and thin in appearance as
last year. Very healthy.
Do to not being as stained as normal Florida lakes this body of water is not pressured
as much in daytime and very little at night.
