The Roostertales Bass Club had its ninth one-day monthly tourney for the year on Canyon Lake on Saturday 9/14. The wind was blowing in the am and it stood down in the afternoon with general sunny conditions and water temperatures between 72 and 76 degrees. There were 18 boats. It was a really good day of fishing on Canyon. Thirteen boats weighed limits. The biggest bags were 19.4#, 18.7#, and 18.3 # respectively. There were 3 fish weighed over 5# with the largest at 5.8#. Fish were caught with multiple techniques and both in the river and main lake. Fish were scattered but fairly easy to find- as they were primarily feeding on shad balls between 10- and 40-feet. Fish were caught on crankbaits, dropshot, and large texas rig worms with other secondary presentations also catching fish.
Our next tournament, originally planned for Alamo Lake, is now at Apache Lake on October 19th going out of Burnt Coral. Our next meeting is at BassPro upstairs conference room at 7pm on October 14. If you have an interest in joining our club, you are welcome to come to the meeting.
