We finally got the best day of the year to fish! Beautiful weather, light winds & high 80 air temps! Perfect day and it showed! Jordan was on fire! This was the best catch I’ve seen at Jordan in a long, long time! You had to have over 20 pounds in your bag to collect a check!  The team turnout was 44 boats!  176 bass were weighed for a whopping total of 590 pounds! Water surface temps averaged 89 and air temps ranged from 65 to 88 with winds ranging from light to 5 mph midday. Big fish for the day was 9.12 pounds and plenty of bass were weighed in over 5 pounds each.  The spawn is over and the fishing is hot!!! Best lures for the day were C & T rigs and cranksbaits worked on humps in about 10 feet of water.  The bass fishing at area lakes should be extremely good at this time.

Once again, I want to thank our sponsors. Without their support we could not be offering the $5,000 Trail. The final event for the Spring ‘Piedmont Bass Classics $5,000 Bass Tournament Trail’, will be the Championship at Falls Lake, Saturday June 18th. Only teams that have qualified may fish this event.
