Piedmont Bass Classics ‘End Of Year’ Bass Trail Qualifier #7 Results – Oct 5, 2013 – Kerr Lake

24 teams showed up for the 7th qualifying tournament of the 2013 Piedmont Bass Classics ‘End of Year’ Team Tournament Bass Fishing Trail.

The weather was great! 70 degrees in the morning no winds and getting up to about 88 in the pm. A ‘Bluebird Day’!

Ken McNeill (R) and Keith Deal took 1st place honors with just 4 bass weighing 12.57 lbs. & 1st place big fish, bringing their total winnings to $1,118.

Jr. Nance & Keith Roberts won 2nd place (11.65 lbs.) and took home $440!!

Only 52 fish were weighed in for a total weight of 120 pounds. Big fish for the day was 4.80 lbs. with a 3.91 lagging behind. The fish were caught from 2 to 20 feet of water on a variety of baits including crankbaits, jerk baits, finesse worms, and c-rigs for the most part. Water temps were around 75 degrees. With no wind, clear water, bright sunshine & a high pressure system in place, the fish basically shut down. It was a tough day to catch fish at Kerr. I want to thank all the anglers that participated and that support this trail.

Our next tournament will be the 2013 Piedmont Bass Classics ‘End of Year’ Team Tournament Bass Fishing Trail Final Qualifier #8, October 19th at Falls Lake out of Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp. This is also an ‘Open’ tournament.
