Well we blasted of at 6am on Saturday from Fortney Branch Boat Ramp at Lake Moomaw in Covington Virginia. We had a beautiful blast off. After blast off I was able to ride around and watch a few teams fish during the day. At weigh in the team that proved to be the best for the lake was Nathan Alt and Jeff Camp, bringing in an impressive weight of 13.13 pounds. The team caught the majority of there fish up the main river channel on various baits ranging from Drop Shots to Crank Baits and Shaky Heads, concentrating on the channel swings where the fish were staged up. Congrats to both of you for a great tournament and a big day to end the regular season.
