Bright and Nequent win with 27.35 pounds




Despite the predicted wind and storms for The Texscape Services Bass n' Bugs Tournament presented by Tackle Addict, 63 teams decided to roll the dice and hope the weathermen were wrong. It turned out they were half wrong. The wind did indeed blow up to 25 mph out of the south, but fortunately they were wrong about the storms. The thunderstorms held off until Sunday allowing for a good day of fishing on Saturday, especially good for Brian Bright and Chris Nequent. They caught a massive stringer of bass weighing 27.35 pounds. Right on their heels was the team of Johnny Vines and Shannon Price with five big ones weighing 26.76. Finishing out the top three was the father-son team of Ty and Jason Moorhead with 22.07.

The Pride Rods Big Bass was won by the team of Brian Adams and Brandon McKee with a pre-spawn female weighing 8.97 pounds. A monster of a fish, but it was not quite big enough to take over the lead for the Monster Mount Big Bass Award. Clint Lipham remains our leader for the free replica sponsored by Scottie's Reproductions.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 70 degrees; 5.19 feet below pool. Navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Bass are on points and drains in shallow water spawning, and some are in a post spawn biting crankbaits and Carolina rigs. Some topwater along the grass edges. Crappie are fair in the shallows near stumps and fair on the brush piles. Some crappie are spawning near cypress trees, wade anglers can target these. White bass are schooling on main lake points but not surfacing yet. Catch some with jigs, minnows, crankbaits and jigging spoons. Catfish are slowly moving back to the points. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. Shad spawn is in full swing. Bass are good keying on hard clay points, grass edges and flooded timber with swim jigs, chatterbaits, topwater spooks or pop-r’s. Offshore bite is 10-20 feet on hard spots and flats, points and creek channel swings using crankbaits, Carolina rigs, shaky heads and dropshots. Crappie have finished spawning in 12-20 feet of water on brush piles and standing timber. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
