Mark your calendars! April 26, 2014 Lake Wateree, SC CATT and Vengeance Tackle are teaming up and bringing you the 2014 CATAWBA CLASH!  Raffles, Gift Packs, BONUS $, Calcutta plus a cook out at the Vengeance Tackle store. Top 10 places will be GUARANTEED! More detail coming in the next few weeks!

Lake Wateree has been of fire this year and Saturday was another example of some fine fishing on the Catawba River impoundment. We’ve seen several bass over 8 lbs this year plus the first 10 pounder we’ve seen weighed at a tournament held on Lake Wateree. Top 5 bass limit this past year was over 27 lbs. The shoreline grass has spread all over the lake and that may be a big reason for larger bass showing up at the weigh ins this year.

DJ McEachern and Shane Cantley brought in another one of those limits we’re talking about Saturday at Lake Wateree. Their best 5 weighed in at 21.02 lbs with a kicker 5.87 lb bass good enough for 2nd BF as well. All total they collected $1,851.00.

2nd went to Alan Fletcher and Danny Johnson with 5 bass weighing 20.05 lbs. They also took the BONUS $ pushing their total winning to $1,240.00.

3rd place weight was 19.32 lbs and that belonged to Donald Hinson and Jeff Hatfield.  They received $465.00.

1st BF went to Tim and Craig Haven with a fat 5.87 lb bass worth $119.00.

Last CATT event on Lake Wateree for the 2013 season is the December 14th TOM CATT launching from Clearwater Cove Marina.
