The 2013 Indiana Bass Federation Invitational Trail is now underway. The first of the six trail tournaments was held at Patoka Lake on Sunday April 7th. The weather was very nice reaching 70* in the late afternoon. There was a breeze from the south most of the day. We had 74 Anglers and 73 Co-Anglers therefore one angler fished alone. The fish count and bag weights were a little off as the water still needs to warm up a little more to get the fish active. Honey Creek Tackle was our partner for this tournament. Meeting was held at Patoka Lake Marina and Lodging.
