| Piedmont Bass Classics Results May 7th, 2011 Jordan Lake 'Open' |
| Beautiful day! Air temps ranged from 50 to 75 degrees, water temps averaged 72 degrees and the wind was light to 5 mph. For our 5th 'Open' of 2011, we had a 9 boats show up to fish Jordan Lake out of Farrington Point Wildlife ramp. Todd & Jeff Sumner, of Southern Pines, won with 5 bass weighing 15.96 lbs. Todd, a member of the Skeeter Boats National Demo Team, said the bass were attacking everything thrown at them. Todd and his Dad landed over 30 bass for the day! Every team brought 5 bass to the scales. 45 bass were weighed in totalling 111 pounds with no dead fish. I want to thank all of our anglers and our sponsors for supporting this trail! Story of the day: Bass were caught on just about any lure you can imagine in 2 to 5 feet of water by just throwing to anything a bass might use for cover. The spawn is now coming to an end and the bass fishing is about to explode everywhere! The next tournament will be at Falls Lake May 14th out of Ledge Rock Wildlife ramp. This event will be the 6th 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 14th at Falls!
