PIEDMONT BASS CLASSICS $10,000 SPRING TEAM BASS TRAIL CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Saturday June 18th, 2016 ~ Jordan Lake ~ Farrington Point Wildlife Ramp

What a beautiful day for the 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Championship at Jordan
Lake out of Farrington Point Wildlife Ramp. The weather turned out great with air temps about 61 degrees in the am

with some gusts up to 22 mph. 73 of the 81 qualified teams participated with 56 of them weighing in fish. The wind
played a major factor in todays catch. It was tough on the anglers and trolling motor batteries!!!

At the weighin we were treated to a great cookout and a word from God by Pastor Marc Francis of Ridgecrest
Baptist Church in north Durham. Relatives and friends of the anglers were also involved in the cookout and door
prize drawings. After that we had the door prize drawings and all anglers there received a door prize!

WLS shaky heads, crankbaits, T-rigs, C-rigs and jigs in 8 to 20 feet of water or less. The deep water bite has started
