The Roostertales Bass Club had its third tournament of the year at Lake Havasu on March 11. Daytime temperatures were about 90, and water temperatures were 60 to 62. Eighteen Teams fished. There were 11 limits. All fish were returned safely to the water. We take pride in handling our caught fish and releasing them after weigh-in. Many fish came off the beds or while roaming in the area of beds. There seemed to be an equal mix of largemouth and smallmouth. The smallies may have been more locked in on the beds. Petersen and Zahn repeated as Tourney winners from last month. They weighed 19.2# with second big fish of 5.1#. The husband/wife team of Asher and Asher took second with 18.8# and big fish of 7.8#. John caught the big fish while it was cruising around. He said he chased him down, so it teaches you not to disregard the roamers. Third place went to Tucker and Miller at 16# and fourth place was Weir and Burgraff at 15.3#.
Our next tournament is on Saguaro Lake- on April 8. We will be meeting at Bass Pro, second floor near Camping on April 3 before the Tourney at 7 pm. If you are interested in fishing Roostertales, come visit with us at the meeting.
