The $5,000 Fall Trail qualifier #2 at Jordan Lake showed the Fall Trail had more interest with 14 boats showing up to qualify for the Championship scheduled for November 6th at Shearon Harris. The weather this Sunday went from a typical Fall morning with light mist to a beautiful sunny afternoon.  38 bass were weighed in for a total of 118 pounds.  Water temps averaged 70 and air temps ranged from 59 to 71 with winds ranging from light to 10 mph in the afternoon. Big fish for the day was 6.67 pounds caught by the team of Scott Gatton & Chad Miller. The bass are now moving to more shallow water with the temps dropping! The bass at Jordan looked to be in a very healthy condition.

Doug Stallings & Mike Riggs won with 5 bass weighing 20.92 lbs! They used mostly jerk baits & spinnerbaits to make up their creel. Most fish were caught on spinnerbaits in 6 to 2 feet of water off rocky bottom points. Fall fishing is now getting hot and all the area lakes should be producing some nice fish.

The $5,000 Fall Trail qualifier #3 will be Sunday, September 25th at Falls Lake out of Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp. Teams must fish 4 of the 7 qualifiers to fish the Championship on November 6th.
