In a repeat of last week’s Top 5 Update, the good old strip mines come through with a trio of bass to give a pair of anglers a boost. I could get used to that although I encourage anyone to get out there and take a shot.

A solid couple of days for us as Brent’s catch represents his Top Bass for 2024 as does the 3-3 for me. In addition, Brent edges closer to the top spot for the year as he sits only one ounce behind our leader, Jim Junk. Back to catching up on the fishing reports this week so stay tuned and talk to you later. Troy
