Conditions: A nice warm day with a few clouds in the morning,
air temps in the mid 80’s and water temp running around 74. We had a dropping tide most
of the day that helped Steve with his pattern.
Winning Strategy: Steve was throwing deep diving crank bait along the banks at low tide pulling
the lure off the drop off. Steve said he caught 12 keepers through out the day.
This division’s next tournament will be held July 26th on the Tidal Delaware River from the Neshaminy State Marina ramp.

Den was 2 points behind Tenags, and Scott was breathing down his neck. He didn't think he had much
of a chance but a good limit on day 1 put him in the lead. That limit was anchored by a 3 pounder

But same place as the day before. He put 3 more in the boat in the last 10 minutes to seal the win.
