Piedmont Bass Classics Results – Jordan Lake – June 4, 2011

June 8, 2011

Mark Herndon & Jay Garrard won with a HUGE bag at 30.71 lbs!!

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. The Future’s Trail Championship will also be on this date. Now here are the June 4th results:
