Apache Lake Tournament is in the books and it was a good Tournament after all the worry about the lake being dead from the Golden Algae. We had 12 teams that fished and 48 fish were brought into the scales for a total of 119.96 lbs with an average of 2.499.
Congrats to Pat and Russ 1st place finish with 15.70 and second Big Fish 3.83, 2nd place Jay and Michelle 14.83 and Big Fish 4.2, 3rd place Jai and Danny 13.30.

The Roostertales Bass Club held its 9th single day tournament of the year on 9/16 at Apache Lake. Water temperatures were till around 80. It was hot. Daytime temps approached 95 degrees. Sixteen teams fished. Thirteen five fish limits were weighed. The team of Peterson and Zahn took first with 16.46# and big fish of 6.03#. Second place was the team of Weir and Burgraff with 14.33# and second big fish of 5.44#. Third went to Redding and Redding with 13.85# and fourth was Jensen/ Chubbuck with 13.64#. Fish were variously caught but dropshot seemed to predominate. As well, it seemed that more fish were taken up river compared to main lake although some of the bigger fish were main lake. Signs from the golden algae kill were not evident. The lake was green-brownish in color, but seemingly healthy based on the results of our tournament.
Our next tournament is on Bartlett Lake on October 14. Our pre- tourney meeting is at Sportsman’s Warehouse Gilbert at 6:30 pm on Monday 10/9.

The Roostertales Bass Club had its ninth one-day monthly tourney for the year on Canyon Lake on Saturday 9/14. The wind was blowing in the am and it stood down in the afternoon with general sunny conditions and water temperatures between 72 and 76 degrees. There were 18 boats. It was a really good day of fishing on Canyon. Thirteen boats weighed limits. The biggest bags were 19.4#, 18.7#, and 18.3 # respectively. There were 3 fish weighed over 5# with the largest at 5.8#. Fish were caught with multiple techniques and both in the river and main lake. Fish were scattered but fairly easy to find- as they were primarily feeding on shad balls between 10- and 40-feet. Fish were caught on crankbaits, dropshot, and large texas rig worms with other secondary presentations also catching fish.
Our next tournament, originally planned for Alamo Lake, is now at Apache Lake on October 19th going out of Burnt Coral. Our next meeting is at BassPro upstairs conference room at 7pm on October 14. If you have an interest in joining our club, you are welcome to come to the meeting.

The Roostertales Bass Club had its monthly one-day tourney on Canyon Lake this past Saturday 9/15. Water temperatures were still around 75 degrees, but fish were caught through the day. There was a good morning bite both in the main lake and in the river. Mid-day fishing was tougher, but some good fish were caught late afternoon with a cloud cover rolling in. The top three 5-fish bags were at 14#, 13#, and 12#. Big fish was at 6#. The bass were caught on various techniques. Dropshot with 4- and 6-inch oxblood robo dominated. Some fish were also caught early and late on reaction baits including rattletraps, and sexy shad crankbait versions. Some limited boils were observed through the day. The real topwater action is right around the corner. Our next tournament is on Alamo Lake on Saturday 10/20. We are looking for new club members who have a passion for fishing, but also have a friendly manner because we like to exchange information and learn from each other. Winning some money also keeps our juices flowing. Our next meeting prior to the Alamo event is at the Bass Pro conference room (second floor) at 7 pm on Monday, 10/15. Come check us out.

Well the standings are getting tight and Alamo made it even tighter. First place is out of reach unless Redding and Griffith make a big mistake or we take the drain plug and props off their motors. Second place on down, on the other hand, is up for grabs. Second to seventy is only 10 points apart. So, the next two tournaments will make or break everyone’s year.
Alamo was tough with the water level down and being a slot lake. Finding a over was hard and when you did the fish just didn’t look healthy. I had a 16 inch fish that weighed in at 1.05 lbs. Either way, it was a good time but stay tuned as action is heating up.
