Well, our third tournament of the year at Dale Hollow Lake was a great one! Most all of our teams brought in a full 5 fish limit and the weights were super tight! Our winning team of Wilcher and Stomberger caught all of their fish offshore in 16-20 feet of water using a variety of techniques such as: Carolina rigs, Texas rigs and shakyheads. Hard bottom was the ticket to catching the quality fish to win this tournament. Some of the hot baits for this team were zoom brush hogs, zoom ol' monsters and zoom magnum shakyhead worms. For our second place finishing team of Kabel and Baumgardner; most of their fish were caught in brushpiles or near wood. Water depths in the 10-20 foot range were the best for this team using jigs and shakyhead worms to bring in their catch. Our third place team of Brinegar and Walker had their limit of fish by 8 AM! Most of their fish came in the 12-20 foot of water range; tossing around black/blue jigs with chunk style trailers around wood. Our top three finishing teams had over 16 pounds of bass and all quality fish! Our last team to cash a check was Grant and Ingram. This team fished super shallow, less than 5 feet of water, starting their morning with buzzbaits and ending their day with Texas rigged beaver baits and tubes.
It was nice as a director seeing so many limits weighed in and all of our anglers having fun! Our Friday night meeting was great also as we had a big crowd at Highland Chapel! Pork shoulder, green beans, cole slaw, potato salad and much more filled our bellies as brother Dennis Sells brought the message and filled our cups. Thanks to all at Highland Chapel for having us and we are already looking forward to next year!
