Scott Smith & Tony Woodard topped the 54 boat field at Falls in the final qualifying tournament for the spring
trail with 5 fish weighing 24.96 lbs!

The field has now been set for the Boats Unlimited~Piedmont Bass Classics 2012 Spring Bass Tournament Trail Championship at Jordan Lake on June 23rd where some lucky team will win the $10,000 first place prize package!

The weather was the best we’ve had all spring with light winds & air temps from 59 in the am to 83 in the pm.
Water temps were in the low 80’s and the water level was about normal pool. We had a great weighin and I
want to thank everyone that participated! Also, we have the greatest sponsors supporting our trail!

201 fish were weighed in for a nice total weight of 603 pounds and all the bass looked healthy. Most fish were
caught in 1 to 15 feet of water on a variety of baits including spinnerbaits, plastic worms, crankbaits, Pop-R’s,
buzzbaits and Rat-L-Traps for the most part. The hot baits for the day reported to be crankbaits! Mike
Stephenson & Chad Jones caught the biggest bass so far this year, 9.68 lbs, and took the lead in the Crown
Honda of Southpoint Big Fish contest. A lot of 6 & 7 pound fish were weighed in. It looks like the summer
pattern is beginning!

Our next ‘Boats Unlimited $10,000 Spring Bass Trail’ event will be the Championship, Saturday, June 23rd, at
Jordan Lake out of Farrington Point Wildlife Ramp.

Our next & final ‘Special Spring Open’ Tournament will be the ‘Springhill Outfitters of Selma Open’ at Jordan
