	Tournament Pattern 
	Winning Pattern:	Senkos tight to shoreline structure.
	Secondary Patterns:	Jig & pig and tubes to shoreline cover.  Scum frogs over emergent vegetation.
	Weather Conditions:	Prior week weather was hot and humid.
	Wind: calm 
	Sky: partly cloudy after the thunderstorms passed
	Air temperature started around 70 and a thunderstorm hit the area around mid day.
	Water Conditions:	Water Clarity: 1-1.5'
	Water Temp: 81 (main lake) and 73 (river)
	Prefishing Patterns:	Jigs and plastics on wood, river, scum frogs, Rogues, crankbaits
	Miscellaneous Notes:	Unsuccessful patterns were docks, non-shoreline cover, Rat L Traps, spinnerbaits, jig worms, and 
	Carolina rigs.  Also, scum frogs were not as good as expected.
	
	Persistance was the key.  The cooler water in the river seemed to make a difference and the fish seemed
	 to replenish themselves.  Also, fish were more active during the thunderstorms and rain.
	
	Moon Phase: Full
	Peak Activity: 6-9 am
