Twenty-three Bags Over 16 Pounds




A record 218 teams showed up to fish the 3rd Sweet Sixteen Tournament presented by Daiwa this past Sunday. Fishing seemed to get a lot better than it had been this year. Twenty-three teams brought in bags over sixteen pounds, with six of them being over twenty pounds.

When the scales closed the team of Travis Moore and Norman Land were on top with an impressive 28.64 lbs and winning by almost six pounds. The duo took home $3444.76.

The second place team was the team of Len Adcock and Jeff Holder, who are fairly new to fishing with Outlaw Outdoors. They took the lead early with 22.93 lbs, but when the scales closed at 4:00 they were in second. They took home $3195.14.

Coming in third was the team of Johnny Due and William Flournoy with 21.71 lbs. After team was chose for polygraph and Flournoy successfully passed a polygraph they took home $2958.00.

The Championship is March 15th and should be a great payout. $8960 will be added to the total payout and we are guaranteeing the winner will take home at least $5000 regardless of entries!

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.
