| Cold & windy! Air temps ranged from 28 to 63 degrees, water temps averaged 53 and the wind blew steadily 15 to 20 mph all day. For our 2nd open of 2011, we had a 19 boats show up to see what Jordan Lake had to provide. Todd & Jeff Sumner of Southern Pines, took top honors on a tough, windy day. The team brought 5 bass to the scales weighing 28.53 pounds, including their big fish winner that weighed in at 7.29 pounds. Todd, a member of the Skeeter Boats National Demo Team, and his Dad took home $1,231 for their efforts. I want to thank all of our anglers and our sponsors for supporting this trail! Story of the day: Bass were caught on every kind of lure you can think of, except top water (didn't hear of any). We had 3 bass over 7 lbs. with the biggest being caught on a Lunker Lure jig. Most all fish were caught in 2 to 8 feet of water off main creek points with rock & timber cover. 62 bass were weighed in totalling 205 pounds. All fish were released alive! Needless to say, the spring bite is on at Jordan! The next tournament will also be at Jordan Lake on March 19th out of Farrington Point Wildlife ramp. This event is the 2nd in a series of 7 qualifying tournaments for the 'Piedmont Bass Classics $5,000 Bass Tournament Trail'. I hope to see all of you on the 19th!
