The RoosterTales Bass Club had its first tourney of the year at Canyon Lake on Saturday, January 25. Seventeen boats participated. There were 9 limits weighed. Conditions were generally clear with very light winds and blue afternoon skies. Water temperatures averaged around 56 degrees. It seemed that most fish were caught early morning with a tougher bite after 9 am. Some really nice bags were weighed. The two largest bags were 17.2# and 17.0 #. The two biggest fish were 7.4# and 5.8#. Fish were primarily caught deeper- in 35 feet to 60 feet both in the main lake and up the river. However, some shallow fish were also reported. The best baits were spoons and soft plastics- mostly on dropshot. Some A-Rig fish were reported. Several large schools of fish were discussed.
Our next tournament is on Apache Lake- February 22. Our next meeting is Monday, February 17 at Bass Pro in the upstairs conference room. Come on and join us, and register for the season and the Apache Tournament.
