Only 14 teams showed up for the 7th, and final, in a series of Spring Open Tournaments. The 1st Place
team of Ken McNeill & Thomas Sheffer didn’t mind the turnout at all, being they took home a total of
$1,020!!

The weather was absolutely beautiful. 46 fish were weighed in for a total weight of 115 pounds.
Most fish were caught in 1 to 20 feet of water on a variety of baits including jerk baits, plastic worms, jig
combos, spinnerbaits & top water for the most part. Water temps were around the 78 degree area. Air
temps 54 to 80.  Not a bad day as far as the fishing goes at Jordan but the bite was really tough for some
reason…

I really want to thank Brandon, Lee and the crew at SPRINGHILL OUTFITTERS in Selma for
sponsoring this tournament and the $250 in Gift Certificates as a bonus to the 1st Place Team. Please visit
their store located off I-95 at exit 101 in Selma. Brandon and his crew have opened a new location that
reminds me of another business on Hwy. 70 heading to the beach. It’s incredible! They carry a great line
of clothing, guns, fishing tackle, archery and so much more!
Visit their website:      www.springhilloutfitters.com    for all the info.
