The Roostertales Bass Club had their monthly one-day tournament on Saturday, May 19 at Roosevelt Lake. Water temperatures were in the low to mid-70s. It was a beautiful day with light wind. All teams weighed a limit. Most teams were culling through the day with many fish in the 13-inch range caught. It appears some fish are starting to move deeper with fish caught from shoreline to 20-feet. Techniques widely varied, including topwater, senko, fluke, dropshot, crankbait, and jig. The winning bag was slightly over 12#, with the next two bags over 9#. The largest single bass was a largemouth around 4#. The Club’s next tournament is our first evening/night tournament on Bartlett Lake on Saturday, June 9. If you have interest in fishing our club, our next meeting is Monday, June 4 at 7 pm at the BassPro shop meeting room on the second floor.
