The Roostertales Bass Club had its second Tournament of the year at Apache Lake on Saturday 2/11. Twenty boats fished. It was a relatively calm day after the full moon with lake temperature at 56 to 58 degrees. It was also a tough day. Only four limits were weighed, and mostly largemouth. The team of Petersen and Zahn figured it out with a bag of 20.6 # and a big fish of 6.6#. They were followed by Jensen and Chubbuck who only caught two fish but their big fish was 8.3 # which was tourney big fish and their second was 6.1 #. Third place went to Redding and Redding at 13.1#. With the second place finish and big fish, Jensen and Chubbuck took home about $1,000. Fish were caught on drop shot, jigs, spinnerbaits, and jerk baits. Most fish were relatively shallow; some came deeper.
Our next tournament is on Lake Havasu on Saturday March 11. Our next meeting is before the Havasu Tourney at the Bass Pro meeting room near Camping, at 7 pm on Monday March 6.

The Roostertales Bass Club fished their second tournament of the season at Apache Lake on Saturday February 16. Although it was sunny, the day was relatively cold and windy with consistent 15 mph winds.Water temperature averaged about 52 degrees. Twenty teams entered the tournament. Eleven limits were weighed. The winning weight was 16.47# (Grubbs/Chubbuck) followed by bags of 15.06# (Liu/Underdown) and 12.63# (Weir/ Redding). Big fish was 4.99#- remarkably weighed by two different teams. Most bags were anchored by largemouths, although there were smallmouths weighed in the 3 pound range. Patterns were generally reaction baits including jerkbait and crankbait in the morning and deeper plastic presentations including dropshot and jigs in the afternoon. Some guys threw hard baits all day; some threw plastic all day- so it varied. Windblown points and rocky areas produced many of the better bags.
Our next tournament is on Lake Havasu, March 9. This spring break tradition has become the norm for our club. Large bags of combined largemouth and smallmouth are expected. Our next meeting is Monday March 4 at 7pm at Bass Pro.
