The Roostertales Bass Club had its second Tournament of the year at Apache Lake on Saturday 2/11. Twenty boats fished. It was a relatively calm day after the full moon with lake temperature at 56 to 58 degrees. It was also a tough day. Only four limits were weighed, and mostly largemouth. The team of Petersen and Zahn figured it out with a bag of 20.6 # and a big fish of 6.6#. They were followed by Jensen and Chubbuck who only caught two fish but their big fish was 8.3 # which was tourney big fish and their second was 6.1 #. Third place went to Redding and Redding at 13.1#. With the second place finish and big fish, Jensen and Chubbuck took home about $1,000. Fish were caught on drop shot, jigs, spinnerbaits, and jerk baits. Most fish were relatively shallow; some came deeper.
Our next tournament is on Lake Havasu on Saturday March 11. Our next meeting is before the Havasu Tourney at the Bass Pro meeting room near Camping, at 7 pm on Monday March 6.
