10 teams arrived at the ramp for the 2nd qualifier in the 2012 JB Custom Rods~Piedmont Bass Classics $5,000 Fall Team Bass Tournament Trail, and the bite was a little better than Jordan Lake this time!

25 keepers were brought to the scales weighing in at a total of 70 pounds! Chad Craven of Raleigh and Tommy Farley of Colonial Heights, VA had 5 that weighed 18.36 pounds winning 1st place for the second time in the Fall Trail! They took 1st place, 2nd big fish and 1st TWT! All total, they won $720!

The day started with 63 degrees in the morning with rain starting at blastoff, then stayed in the 60’s all day with rain heavy at times. Winds were light.  Most fish were caught in 1 to 10 feet of water.  Plastic worms and jigs, fished tight to laydowns and stumps in the river & main lake, seemed to be the preferred baits. Water temps were around 78 degrees. The Big Fish weighed in at 6.34 pounds!

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

Our next tournament will be the 2012 JB Custom Rods~Piedmont Bass Classics Fall Team Bass Trail Qualifier #3 at Shearon Harris out of Holleman’s Crossing Wildlife Ramp, Sunday, September 23rd. THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE!

The Fall Trail lakes will include Shearon Harris, Falls & Jordan with the Championship at Harris.
