Bass (And Shad) Spawning Just In Time For Oakley Big Bass Tournament On Lake Norman

“I don't know if there is any advantage, early or late. You are liable to catch the big fish of the tournament any time during the day,” said Hull, a veteran Lake Norman angler and creator of custom painted and hand-tied Shooter Lures.

In the Oakley Big Bass Tournament on Lake Norman last year, Hull caught the big fish of the tournament a half hour after the tournament began. He landed a 6-pound, 2 ounce largemouth that fell for a black and blue Shooter Jig.

He and fishing partner Andy Bailey drove away that day with a $30,000 boat, motor and trailer rig for the biggest fish in the Oakley Big Bass tournament.

Anglers in the tournament on Lake Norman Saturday and Sunday should find the fishing excellent at all hours of the tournament day.

“Lake Norman has been on fire lately,” Hull said. “I think it will be mostly shallow fishing. The spawn is a little late so there should be some fish on the bed, and it's about time for the shad spawn, so there could be a good bite on fish feeding on shad.”

Hull said he plans to concentrate on largemouths because, “you have to catch a big fish to win,” and he will key on the shad spawn with either a white Shooter Jig or a swim bait, in addition to throwing a topwater bait.

The Oakley Big Bass series is open to amateur anglers only. Professional anglers and guides on the tournament waters who have guided professionally for a fee in the last 12 months are not eligible.

Entry fees are $100 for a one-day entry, $150 for both days. The winner with the overall big bass of the tournament will take home a 2014 Nitro Z7 with Mercury 150HP Pro XS, valued at $30,000.

Hourly payouts have been increased this year with a total two-day hourly purse of $35,000. Hourly payouts will go to seven places each hour: 1st $1000, 2nd $500, 3rd $300, 4th $250, 5th $200, 6th $150, 7th $100 (based on 400 total entries). Weigh in Times: 8-9 a.m., 9-10am, 10-11 a.m., 11-12 a.m., 12-1 p.m., 1-2 p.m., and 2-3 p.m.

The rest of the schedule for the Oakley Big Bass Tournament series this year includes: May 17-18, Table Rock Lake, Mo.; June 14-15, Grand Lake, Okla.; Sept. 27-28, Lake Murray, S.C.; Oct. 4-5, Lake Douglas, Tenn.; Oct. 18-19, Lake Guntersville, Ala.; and Oct. 25-26, St. John's River, Fla.

Texas Team Trail Growing By Leaps And Bounds With 220 Boat Average In Third Year

“We've grown considerably,” said tournament director Mike Hastings. “We consider 225 teams a full field for a tournament, so we are really excited. It's great to see substantial growth like this.”

And, Hastings added, he expects another huge entry for the fourth and final qualifier Saturday on Lake Livingston.

The Texas Team Trail draws a big entry, in part because all the tournaments are nationally televised, with the programs also airing on a lot of local networks, so there is a tremendous amount of exposure.

“We guarantee a boat for first place in the qualifiers. That is a boat, motor, trailer and electronics, ready to fish. At the championship, two fully-rigged boats are guaranteed, one for first place and one for second place.”

The winning anglers at Lake Texoma will walk away with a brand-new Triton 18XS powered by an Evinrude 150 HO, valued at $27,500.There are also bonus awards for qualified owners from Ranger, Triton, Stratos and Evinrude,” he said.

“It's all made possible by the sponsors and you can go to the website to see the complete list,” he said. “They are all important to us. Cabelas is our title sponsor and we also have tremendous support from Ranger, Triton and Stratos. Evinrude is also a major sponsor.”

Hastings said he expects there will be a lot of “shallow water junk fishing” in Saturday's tournament because historically this time of year on Lake Livingston the fish are shallow and hit about anything.

“If there is something in the water flip a worm or a jig at it or drag a spinnerbait by it. It's pretty straightforward shallow water fishing without exception this time of year.”

To fish the series each angler must pay a $30 membership fee, then each team pays a $250 entry fee to fish each tournament. The Texas Team Trail Anglers Advantage Program also allows each team, for an additional $100 entry, to compete in an additional payout bracket, with a $100 percent payback.

Anglers who pre-register online get an additional bonus – practice time. If they are registered online before midnight Thursday they are allowed to pre-fish on Friday. Anglers who register online or via phone prior to midnight Thursday will also be entered into a drawing for a Power Pole Shallow Water Anchor. In addition, anglers that opt to register online at www.texasteamtrail.com will be entered into a drawing for a Mustang Survival inflatable PFD.

Following the Lake Livingston the anglers will move on to the Championship June 7-8 on Toledo Bend Lake.

Spoher Takes Lead At Bassmaster Open On Red River

A change in his practice methods for the Bass Pro Shops Central Open #2 presented by Allstate on the Red River is paying off for Gerald Spohrer.
 
Last year the Gonzalez, La., angler ran the banks in practice and tried to make a milk run of spots during the tournament. However, he found crowds on most of those spots and eventually finished 49th in the Open.

This year, Spohrer looked for more offshore targets in practice, a strategy that has him leading the pro division with 28 pounds, 14 ounces.
 
“I spent my whole practice fishing stuff where I thought the tournament would be won,” he said. “I know this river very well, and I have a lot of experience here. I gambled and found some sweet spots that were holding some big ones.” Whenever he got a bite in practice, he marked a waypoint in the oxbows he was fishing, and each competition day he has keyed on those waypoints.
 
The change in weather from clouds and wind Thursday to sunshine and a light breeze on Friday made it easier for the 32-year-old Spohrer to work his area. “I had a problem with the wind yesterday,” said Spohrer, who had a 13-5 limit the first day. “It was blowing about 25 mph out of the south, and I was fishing the northern end of an oxbow.”
 
The rough water made it difficult to see the stumps he was trying to target, but today he was able to locate the stumps easier and caught a heavier limit (15-9) while flipping to wood cover. “The sun is positioning the fish on the stumps,” Spohrer said. Thursday and Friday he spent a couple of hours fishing the stump field to catch bigger fish and then moved to other spots to complete his limit.
 
“Tomorrow I might just stay in that area all day,” Spohrer said.
 
Defending 2013 Red River Central Open champion Stephen Browning barely made the Top 12 cut last year but is currently sitting in second place with 28-8 this year. The Bassmaster Elite Series pro said he is doing the same thing he did the final day of last year’s event. Only this time, he has a crowd with him. “I had a lot of company today, but it is what it is,” he said. “You can’t claim the whole pond. I just kept my head down and kept fishing.”
 
The rest of the Top 5 in the pro division are Elite Series pro Jeff Kriet, Ardmore, Okla., in third place with 27-8; first-day leader Aaron Johnson, Shreveport, La., fourth, 27-7; and Tommy Murray, Bedford, Texas, fifth, 26-0.
 
Co-angler Logan Latuso, of Gonzalez, La., kept his lead by catching a small limit of 4 pounds, 11 ounces to give him a two-day total of 17 pounds. The Louisiana angler failed to catch a fish until 12:30 p.m. and finally completed his limit by about 2 o’clock.
 
“I was able to fish about the same stuff today, but I had to really slow down today because it was a lot tougher bite,” he said.
 
The Allstate Good Hands, Great Day award of $250 was presented to pro angler Gary Clouse, of La Vergne, Tenn., in honor of climbing the most positions in the standings from Day 1 to Day 2.
 
Michael Robinson, of Carter, Okla., earned the co-angler Allstate Good Hands, Great Day award of $150 for his jump in the standings on Day 2.
 
The Livingston Lures Leader award of $250 was presented to the pro angler in the lead on Day 2, Spohrer. The leader of the Day 2 co-angler side, Latuso, received a Livingston Lures gift pack valued at $250.
 
Tomorrow’s launch will be held at the Red River South Marina, 200 Red River South Marina Drive, Bossier City, La.. The weigh-in will move to the Bass Pro Shops, 100 Bass Pro Drive, in Bossier City, and will begin at 3:30 p.m. CT.

Johnson Leads Bassmaster Open On Red River

Aaron Johnson, of Shreveport, La., has a strategy that other local anglers might want to try when fishing tournaments on their home waters.
 
Johnson decided to skip the final day of practice for the Bass Pro Shops Central Open #2 presented by Allstate on the Red River and went to work instead. Even though he lives close to the river, Johnson said he limits the amount of time he spends on the water.
 
“The river is pretty rough on my equipment, so I don’t come here that often unless I have a tournament,” said the 41-year-old Johnson. The sales and marketing manager practiced on Saturday but skipped Sunday to spend time with his family. He then resumed practicing Monday and Tuesday and found five spots that were holding bass.
 
His strategy of fishing the river “only when I have to” paid off today as Johnson amassed a five-fish limit weighing 20 pounds, 8 ounces to take the lead in the boater division of the second Central Opens of 2014. His catch included a 7-13 largemouth that currently leads the Carhartt Big Bass of the tournament race.
 
Today’s cloudy weather caused the fish to react differently than what Johnson discovered in practice. “I really wanted the sunshine, but it was just out a little bit,” said Johnson, who won a Central Open in 2008 at Kentucky Lake. “The fish really weren’t setting up on the cover, but I was able to figure out how to get them to bite (in the cloudy weather),” he said. “Once I got that figured out, I popped them pretty good.”
 
A 45-mile one-way run and lock negotiation limited Johnson’s fishing time today. The local angler estimated he had only about 3 1/2 hours to fish, but he made the most of his time. He also has plenty of options available for tomorrow as he only hit one of his five spots today. “I will probably bounce around a little bit more tomorrow just because I have a later flight, so I should have a lot more time to cover more areas,” he said.
 
Another Shreveport angler, Colby Hand, moved into second place on the pro side with a 16-2 limit. The 36-year-old construction worker said he had a “so-so” practice catching only a couple of good fish here and there, but never really established a pattern.
 
“I didn’t make any adjustments today really,” said Hand, who ran to about five spots and caught his limit by about 9 a.m.
 
Rounding out the Top 5 on the pro side are Tommy Murray, Bedford, Texas, in third place with 15-6; Larry Puckett, Decatur, Texas, fourth, 15-4; and Elite Series pro, Stephen Browning, Hot Springs, Ark., fifth, 14-15.
 
Co-angler Logan Latuso, of Gonzales, La., hopes to repeat what his father Robbie Latuso, a longtime B.A.S.S. Nation angler, did back in 2009 when he won the non-boater division of the Central Open at Toledo Bend. The 20-year-old Latuso, who works for his dad and attends a community college, leads the non-boater division with a three-fish limit weighing 12-5. “I had to grind it out and had the three right bites,” Logan said.
 
The local host for this event is the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission. Friday and Saturday’s takeoff, as well as Friday’s weigh-in will be held at the Red River South Marina, 200 Red River South Marina Drive, Bossier City, La. The final day weigh-in will move to the Bass Pro Shops at 101 Bass Pro Drive, in Bossier City.

Usc Team Hoping For 100 Boats In Second Anglers @ Usc Bass Open On Lake Wylie

Last year the first Anglers @ USC Bass Open on Lake Wylie drew more than 80 boats and the collegiates are hoping their second Bass Open Saturday will bring more than 100 teams to the SC-NC border lake.

“Last year we had a boat come all the way from New Jersey to fish the tournament,” said Gettys Brannon, tournament director for the University of South Carolina Fishing Team. That young angler and his teammate have announced plans to come back for this year's tournament, Brannon said.

“We're bringing the new Skeeter this year and I'm sure Liam West and I will have a better showing come tourney day,” tweeted Trevor Topken of New Jersey recently.

Entry fee for the tournament is $120 per boat, with an optional $20 for big fish. There will be a 90 percent payback to the anglers, with 10 percent going to fund activities of the fishing club.

“The money we make is how we go fishing,” Brannon said. “This year we've already gone to a tournament at Lake Okeechobee and one at Clarks Hill. Then we have one coming up at Guntersville and another at Pickwick Lake in Alabama.”

Registration will be held at Hunt, Fish, Paddle (www.huntfishpaddle.com), starting at 5 p.m. Friday, and continue before the tournament, beginning at 5 a.m. Saturday, said Adam Filmore, owner of the

specialty fishing, bow hunting and paddlesports outdoor adventure retailer at Lake Wylie.

“We'll have coffee and donuts for the anglers starting at 5 o'clock that morning,” Filmore said.

Anglers should find fishing very good for the tournament, he added.

“The fish are starting to move up and some have already moved up. They are catching fish in the spawning pockets and some off the main lake drops now,” Filmore said.

Digh Gets It Done At B.a.s.s. Divisional On Eufaula

It was do or die and Rob Digh did it. (Three times fast – anyone?)

The North Carolina standout entered the last day of the B.A.S.S. Nation Southern Divisional atop the field on Lake Eufaula. Trailing in second, Florida stick Chad Prough caught his biggest bag of the event – a 20-pound, 2-ounce limit – and put some serious heat on the winner.

However, buoyed by his Day 2 weight of 22-13 – the tournament’s largest sack – Digh added 16-14 in the final round and surged across the finish line with a three-day total of 54-15 and a 2-pound, 1-ounce winning margin.

Fishing grass in about 6 inches to 3 feet of water, Digh was mostly targeting bed fish. He wasn’t sight fishing; rather, he was working areas where he knew Eufaula’s remaining spawners would position.

Digh fished a ChatterBait with a Zoom Speed Craw trailer and he also pitched a 1/2-ounce Outlaw jig with a Zoom Big Salty Chunk trailer. Compared to his huge second-round sack, his Day 3 productivity dropped off a good bit. Digh, however, said he was happy with his catch.

“Anytime you catch 16 pounds, it’s a good day on the water,” Digh said. “I struggled a little bit with my bigger fish today, and I lost several nice fish. I had trouble getting them out of the grass. They’d come up and swipe at the bait and they’d (sometimes) miss it. We were around them; I just didn’t get all mine in the boat.”

Overall, the Day 3 weights were considerably better than the previous two days. The final day yielded five bags larger than 20 pounds, including a 21-pound, 4-ounce limit from the top high school team, Alabama’s Zeke Gossett and Hayden Bartee. Their catch was the tournament’s third largest.

The average fish was a little less than 3 pounds. The Top 10 had 44 pounds, 9 ounces or more, but the vast majority of competitors brought in 25 to 34 pounds for their total weight. Day 3 saw 55 anglers catch limits.

The week’s weather was quite the see-saw, as an approaching cold front brought chilly rain the day before the tournament and then followed with high pressure and bright skies on Day 1. Air and water temperatures warmed on Day 2, while cloudy skies provided a welcome break from the previous day’s bluebird conditions.

Rain returned for Day 3, as a downpour met anglers at the morning launch and stayed with them through the final weigh-ins. Digh said his fishing results offered a predictable reflection of these conditions.

“The cold weather hindered me the first day, and then the warming trend the second day really helped my fishing,” Digh said. “Today was very tough. It was a good thing for fishing, but mentally, it worked on you.”

In addition to winning the event, Digh was also the top angler for his team. The North Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation state team had three anglers in the Top 12 and placed second in the state competition with 465 pounds, 10 ounces. Alabama, the host state, won the state competition with 485-6, and Georgia placed third with 456-2.

With his Southern Divisional win, Digh earned an invitation to the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship, Nov. 6-8 on Louisiana’s Ouachita River. Other state winners, who also qualified for the Nation Championship with Digh, are Coby Carden, Alabama; Chad Prough, Florida; Waine Pittman, Georgia; Michael Boggs, Kentucky; Will Duncan, South Carolina; and Raleigh Todd, Tennessee. Carden competed in the 2014 Bassmaster Classic in Birmingham, Ala., via the Nation and is looking to go back in 2015.

Digh won $250 Thursday from Livingston Lures for being the Day 2 leader. Jack Smith, of Cadiz, Tenn., won the Carhartt Big Bass honors, a $500 prize awarded to the angler who caught the biggest bass of the tournament.

Rob Digh Leads B.a.s.s. Nation Southern Divisional, Lift Nc State Team

He may not have realized it, but Rob Digh, of Denver, N.C., was partly responsible for a spike in the decibel level at the Day 2 weigh-ins for the B.A.S.S. Nation Southern Divisional on Lake Eufaula.

The noise fluctuation came with the announcement that North Carolina had moved atop the team competition, thanks largely to Digh moving atop the overall tournament standings with a two-day weight of 38 pounds, 1 ounce.

The North Carolina fans erupted with joy when the final tallies showed their team’s two-day total weight at 310 pounds, 10 ounces. Digh contributed a large chunk of that weight with his second-round limit that weighed 22-13, the event’s heaviest bag.

Essential to his success, Digh noted, was a longer period of activity.

“The fish started biting better early today because the weather was much warmer,” Digh said. “Yesterday, the fish didn’t start biting until lunchtime, and we’re coming in at 2 o’clock, so we just ran out of time.

“I was doing the same thing I did yesterday; the fish just bit better today. The clouds helped some, but the main thing was the warmth.”

Digh was understandably guarded with his details, but he did say he caught all of his fish on moving baits. Fishing 40 miles from the takeoff site at Lakepoint Marina, he targeted wood and grass.

“I changed colors some, but I was using one particular bait,” Digh said. “I changed colors based on water clarity because the water is starting to clear up.”

Noting that he caught fish all day, Digh said he boated 30 bass.

“I said yesterday that there are some 25- to 30-pound sacks out there,” he said. “This is not 25, but it’s close. I caught a lot of fish today. I don’t know if I can duplicate that tomorrow, but I think I can get close.”

Overall, the Day 2 weights were slightly better than those of Day 1. Notably, the only other bag heavier than 20 pounds belonged to Alabama High School anglers Zeke Gossett and Hayden Bartee, who caught a limit that weighed 20-6. Their bag included a chunky largemouth that went 5-8.

The average fish was a little more than 2 1/2 pounds. The Top 10 had 28 pounds or more, but the vast majority of competitors brought in 14 to 24 pounds for their total weight. Only 46 anglers boasted limits.

The cloudy skies and warming weather of Day 2 were welcome changes from the bluebird postfrontal conditions that plagued Day 1. The afternoon saw partly sunny skies, and anglers reported water temperatures rising into the mid-60s. The weather forecast for Day 3 calls for rain throughout most of the fishing hours.

Eddie Plemons, Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation president, said that could be just the thing to trigger a big day of productivity.

“The rain is bad for the fans, but it’s good for the fishermen,” Plemons said.

Digh not only leads the overall tournament; he also is tops on the North Carolina B.A.S.S. Nation state team, which has three anglers in the Top 10 and a 1-pound, 8-ounce lead for the state competition. North Carolina has 310 pounds, 10 ounces, followed by Georgia with 309-2, and South Carolina with 284.

If Digh maintains his lead for North Carolina, he’ll be invited to the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship, Nov. 6-8 on Louisiana’s Ouachita River. Other state leaders as of Day 2 are Coby Carden, Alabama; Chad Prough, Florida; Joe Eubanks, Georgia; Michael Boggs, Kentucky; Danny Allen, South Carolina; and Raleigh Todd, Tennessee.

Digh won $250 Thursday from Livingston Lures, which awarded that amount daily for the biggest bag weighed in on Day 2.

Jack Smith’s 7-pound bass from Day 1 is currently in the lead for Carhartt Big Bass honors, a $500 prize awarded to the biggest bass of the tournament. Today’s biggest bass, a 6-13 caught by Michael Boggs of Kentucky, didn’t top it.

Competition resumes Friday at 6 a.m. CT for the launch at Lakepoint Marina. The weigh-in will be broadcast live at 2 p.m. CT on Bassmaster.com.

Danny Murphy Takes The Early Lead In B.a.s.s. Nation Southern Divisional On Lake Eufaula

He may have saved the best for last in terms of weigh-in order, but Danny Murphy, of Granite Falls, N.C., actually got his work done early, en route to topping the Day 1 leaderboard at the B.A.S.S. Nation Southern Divisional on Lake Eufaula.

With Georgia’s Chase Hancock holding the top spot with 18 pounds, 14 ounces since the beginning of the weigh-in, Murphy brought up the day’s final bag and dropped 19-12 on the scales to secure the lead. Murphy said he believes a rise in lake level stimulated an early bite that allowed him to lock up the lead by late morning.

“The water had been low, but it came up overnight so we got on a deeper bank today,” he said. “The fish were moving in from the main lake to the back of the pockets.

“My boat partner and I caught our limit by 11, and we started looking around for more areas after that,” continued Murphy. “We didn’t pound it really hard.”

Murphy, a member of the Riverview Bass Anglers club, said he targeted prespawn staging positions with a Hawg Caller spinnerbait and a brown Shooter jig with a Zoom Super Chunk Jr. Murphy dipped the tips in chartreuse dye for additional visual appeal.

“The bigger ones were shallow, like in 2 feet of water,” he said. “I caught one of them under a dock, one of them under a tree, just here and there.”

Overall, the Day 1 weights were much lower than expected, and the 20-pound bags that many predicted never materialized. More than half the field fell short of the five-fish daily limit. The average fish was a little more than 2 1/2 pounds. The Top 10 had 16 pounds, 10 ounces or more, but the vast majority of competitors brought in 4 to 13 pounds for their total weight.

A cold front blew through Eufaula with the usual chilly rain a day before the tournament. True to form, the weather cleared in time for a brilliant sunrise, followed by the dreaded bluebird skies. This high pressure and bright sunlight probably tempered what should be a strong spring bite. Fortunately for competitors, the day brought steady increases in air and water temperatures, promising cues for a more active second day.

Eufaula mayor and Alabama team member Jack Tibbs jokingly lamented his team’s slow start, which is currently in sixth place.

“We wanted to be good hosts to everyone, but that’s just for today!” said Tibbs. “That front that came through really messed the fish up. But the fishing has been on fire and it should get better the next two days.”

Murphy agreed. He and second-place Hancock both noted observing shad spawn aggregations, which never go unnoticed by opportunistic bass. Warming weather plus abundant baitfish should have the fish ready to go on Day 2.

“We started seeing some shad activity later in the day, so I think tomorrow the bite should be good by early morning,” Murphy said.

Murphy’s North Carolina team placed third today with 145-7 in total weight, behind first-place Georgia (163-4) and second-place South Carolina (156-13). The Georgia B.A.S.S. Nation state team has two anglers in the Top 5, as well as a 6-pound, 7-ounce lead for the state competition.

Other state leaders at the end of Day 1 are Coby Carden, Alabama; Chad Prough, Florida; Chase Hancock, Georgia; Michael Boggs, Kentucky; Danny Allen, South Carolina; and Raleigh Todd, Tennessee.

The winner of each state will advance to the 2014 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship.
Jack Smith, of Cadiz, Tenn., is in the lead for the Carhartt Big Bass honors with his 7-pounder.
Competition resumes Thursday at 6 a.m. CT for the launch at Lakepoint State Park Marina. The weigh-in will be broadcast live at 2 p.m. CT on Bassmaster.com.
