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 (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water stained; 86 degrees; 1.54 feet below pool. Freshwater is still entering the lake from the river, and water is being released. Topwater bass bite is early in the morning and evening. Bass are deeper on points, drains and humps with crankbaits and Carolina rigs. Crappie are good on brush piles, but many undersized fish and bluegill to sift through. Catfish are good in 18-20 feet of water on cut bait. A few white bass are schooling on main lake points. Cast baits to shade. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
