We wrapped up the 2013 Old North Trail on Lake Jordan with 31 teams entering the Old North Spring Final. The fishing at Jordan had been off this Spring but Saturday the bass decided to turn on and several teams had a good day of fishing.

This was our 3^rd season of the Old North Trail and each year the payback has increased…several of the teams expressed an interest in increasing the entry fee and adding more $$ to the purse. I’ll look at doing that over the summer and will send out emails of an example of what we’re looking at doing. I’m not 100% sure this will happen but would like to hear from you guys so shoot me an email with your thoughts. Looking at $120 for Qualifiers and $150 for the Final…BONUS $40. This will increase the purse substantially since CATT is 100% payback on your entry fees.

Also if I can work it out we will try and hold 2 CATT Classic …1 in SC and 1 in NC…the 2013 CATT Classic at Kerr Lake was a huge success with 1^st Place taking home over $13,000.00. We’ll see what unfolds over the Summer and lets all hope this can happen.

Billy Bledsoe and Brian McDonald weighed in a 5 bass limit at 24.09 lbs taking 1^st Place at Lake Jordan Saturday. They also weighed in the 2^nd BF at 6.22. Add in the 1^st BONUS $ and they collected $4,105.00. Billy and Brian were fishing in a 2013 FX 21 SKEETER/Yamah250SHO and will take home another $3,000.00 through the SKEETER REAL MONEY Program. Their total take home pay adds up to $7,105.00!

2^nd went to Scott Smith and Tony Woodard with 5 bass weighing 22.33 lbs. They weighed in a 6.66 lb bass which was the 1^st BF and they took the 2^nd BONUS $. All total they collected $1,930.00.

James Pourrier and Rich Szscerbala finished in 3^rd with 5 bass weighing 20.67 lbs and they collected $1,000.00.

Jaime Fajardo and Josh Hooks claimed 4^th with another limit weighing 20.28 lbs. They received $700.00

5^th went to Thomas Sheffler and David Walton with a limit weighing 20.05 lbs. They earned $350.00.

6^th and $205.00 went to Merle Knott and Roger Clary with 5 bass weighing 18.60 lbs.

The 2013 CATT Old North Trail paid back $36,706.00!

Thanks for fishing!
