The Roostertales Bass Club had its monthly one-day tourney on Canyon Lake this past Saturday 9/15. Water temperatures were still around 75 degrees, but fish were caught through the day. There was a good morning bite both in the main lake and in the river. Mid-day fishing was tougher, but some good fish were caught late afternoon with a cloud cover rolling in. The top three 5-fish bags were at 14#, 13#, and 12#. Big fish was at 6#. The bass were caught on various techniques. Dropshot with 4- and 6-inch oxblood robo dominated. Some fish were also caught early and late on reaction baits including rattletraps, and sexy shad crankbait versions. Some limited boils were observed through the day. The real topwater action is right around the corner. Our next tournament is on Alamo Lake on Saturday 10/20. We are looking for new club members who have a passion for fishing, but also have a friendly manner because we like to exchange information and learn from each other. Winning some money also keeps our juices flowing. Our next meeting prior to the Alamo event is at the Bass Pro conference room (second floor) at 7 pm on Monday, 10/15. Come check us out.
