57 teams showed up for the 3rd qualifying tournament of the 2013 Boats Unlimited NC Team Tournament Bass Trail. We had a right decent day even though we did have a small period of sleet in the am. 39 degrees in the morning and about 45 for the rest of the day with no wind in the am and light in the pm.

Ean Davis & Matt Czerepak of Southern Pines captured 1st place honors with 5 bass weighing 20.66 lbs. They

won the 1st place money and the BOATS UNLIMITED NC 1st place $1,000 bonus for a grand total of $2,140.

Scott Smith & Tony Woodard won 2nd place (18.38lbs.) plus 1st place TWT and took home $1,548.

99 fish were weighed in for a total weight of 340 pounds. At least 4 weighed over 7lbs! Most fish were caught

from 2 to 8 feet of water on a variety of baits including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and plastics for the most

part. Water temps were around 50 degrees. The fish really looked healthy and several were loaded with roe.

I want to thank all the anglers that participated and the sponsors that support this trail.

We will take a break for the Easter Observance and our next tournament will be the BOATS UNLIMITED

NC Qualifier #4, April 6th at Falls Lake out of Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp.
