17 teams showed up at Falls Lake for the 7th and final qualifying tournament of the 2012 JB Custom Rods~Piedmont Bass Classics $5,000 Summer Bass Tournament Trail. It turned out to be a beautiful day! 71 degrees in the morning with light winds & sun, then close to 84 in the pm with sunshine & 10 mph winds. The weatherman missed it again!

Chris Wood & Will White brought in only 4 bass for a winning bag weighing 16.75 lbs. Along with tying for the 2nd place big fish, they won a total of $731.

The bite was way off and only 34 fish were weighed in for a total weight of 105 pounds. Most fish were caught
in 6 to 15 feet of water on plastic worms, jigs and crankbaits for the most part. Water temps were around 82
degrees. The Big Fish weighed in at 6.10 pounds! I want to thank all the anglers that participated and that
support this trail.

Our next Summer Trail tournament will be the Championship at Falls Lake out of Farrington Point Wildlife
Ramp, this Saturday, August 25th and is open to ‘Qualified Teams’ only.

Our JB Custom Rods~Piedmont Bass Classics Fall Trail begins Sunday, September 9th at Jordan Lake.
