The Roostertales Bass Club finished its 2012 season at a tough Lake Pleasant on Saturday November 10. With the fall’s first real cold front coming in on Friday before the tournament, air temperatures were over 20 degrees lower on Saturday compared to Thursday. Water temperatures were 68 degrees, but this was compromised by rising water from continuing CAP delivery. Eight teams fished; only one boat weighed a limit. The winning weight was 11.76# with a big fish of 3.53#. The winning bag was caught in 2 cuts with bays, and on a variety of techniques including jerk bait, topwater, and A-Rig. The second place team weighed 6.41# with 4 fish. Other fish during our tournament were caught on dropshot, particularly in the back of coves throughout the lake. The Roostertales Bass Club had another excellent season. The theme of our club is friendly competition, learning and sharing, and trying to win a little money. Our payback on entry fees is almost 100%.
We have set our lakes calendar for 2013. We will be fishing all Salt River lakes, Alamo, Havasu, Pleasant, Bartlett, and Willow Springs in the summer. We have decided on one-day tournaments, which makes for a user friendly situation.
