| Piedmont Bass Classics Results July 23rd, 2011 ~ Falls Lake ~ Ledge Rock Ramp PBC $5,000 Summer Trail Qualifier #4 |
| The $5,000 Summer Trail qualifier #4 at Falls showed that the heat is taking its toll with only 14 boats showing up to qualify for the Championship scheduled for August 27th at Jordan Lake. It was a beautiful day! The heat was setting in. Only 45 bass were weighed in for a total of 132 pounds. The anglers did a great job keeping their fish alive with the latter day heat being close to 95 degrees! Water temps averaged 93 and air temps ranged from 75 to 95 with winds ranging from light to 10 mph in the afternoon. Big fish for the day was 8.12 pounds. All in all, it was a tough day and it's getting tougher. Ben Cannon & Ken Wall won with 5 bass weighing 20.55 lbs! They used mostly crankbaits & worm rigs to make up their creel. Most fish were caught on Texas and Carolina Rigs along with crankbaits in 8 to 14 feet of water. The $5,000 Summer Trail qualifier #5 will be Saturday, August 6th at Falls Lake out of Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp. Teams must fish 4 of the 7 qualifiers to fish the Championship August 27th, so those that have fished only 1 event still have a chance to fish the Championship if they fish the last 3 as a team.
