Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series Names Sweet Six




The Deep East High School Fishing Series hosted a special event, the Valentine's Day Bassacre, to name their "Sweet Six" fishing teams. "The tournament marked the end of the fall and winter fishing season. We wanted to do something special for our leading teams to get ready for the TBF Texas State Championship, March 19th on Big Sam" said Connie Sympson of Jackson Hill Marina.

The Sweet Six were invited to a dinner at Jackson Hill with special guest and Hall of Fame bass Angler Tommy Martin who talked to the student anglers about how to prepare for a major tournament, the strategies and tactics needed to win in today's ultra competitive bass fishing environment.

The Sweet Six consisted of Spurger Pirate team mates Cory Hyden and Roby Clark, Kirbyville's Braden Berryman and Kenneth Picket, Broaddus High School's Hunter Curry and Randy Morgan, LCM's Justin Lee and Hunter Fant, Hudson High Schools Colten Nick and Justin Cook and Woodville's Steven Thomas and Dawson Wainwright

The teams and their boat Captains were provided overnight lodging and breakfast Saturday morning before competing to see who could be the Top Team of the Top Six. When the smoke cleared it was Stephen Thomas who caught the day’s big fish, a 8.24 lb beauty that helped his team bring in 18.03 lbs to win against their top rivals.

The Deep East Series will help host the March 5th Jim Brockman Open Individual High School Championship and will have two remaining qualifying tournaments before their Championship to be held on May 7th and 8th.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water stained; 62 degrees; 5.99 feet below pool. The magic water temperature is 67 degrees for the spawn. The water is muddy north of the Texas State Highway147 bridge. Navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Bass are in the grass lines in 4-20 feet of water biting soft plastics and spin baits. Spawn appears to be deeper due to the water draw. This will eliminate a lot of sight fishing. Crappie are slow. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. The bite bass bite has been fantastic! Large waves and groups of fish shallow from 10-15 feet deep as well as large numbers of fish shallow 1-7 feet deep. Primarily fishing a Carolina rig, medium diving crankbait, and Texas rig in 10-15 feet. Cast rattletraps, chatterbaits, and lightweight Carolina rigs up shallow. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
