PIEDMONT BASS CLASSICS $10,000 SPRING TEAM BASS TRAIL
CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS
Saturday June 13th, 2015 ~ Falls Lake ~ Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp
Another beautiful & very very hot day for the PBC Spring Championship at Falls Lake. Temps in the am were around 79 and up to about 99 in the afternoon. The wind today was mostly light and water temps averaged 87. Most of the 72 qualified teams that placed in the money said the bite was fairly deep with some coming from water up to 12 feet deep on channel dropoffs.
Chad Craven & Ben Cannon took 1st Place with 5 bass weighing a whopping 29.40 lbs., 2nd Place Big Fish (7.47 lbs.) along with 1st Place in the TWT and took home just over $11,957. Points Winners for the Spring Trail,
Jaime Fajardo & Josh Hooks, took home $1,000 in cash & prizes. The 2nd Place team of Jerry Marshburn and Chuck Byrd were just .97 of a pound from winning the big money but did ok taking 2nd place, 1st Place Big Fish
(7.50 lbs.) and 2nd Place TWT for a total of $2,978. 3rd Place went to the husband/wife team or Eric & Jennifer Christian with 5 bass weighing 27.86 lbs. giving them $810 in cash!
245 fish were weighed in for a total of 917 pounds for an average of 3.74 lbs. each. The bite was really good with most all of the teams catching some bass. We had 16 teams with 21+ lb. sacks. Most of the fish were caught on
crankbaits and worm & jig rigs in deeper water off points and channel dropoffs.
Many thanks go out to Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Durham for again providing a great cookout and message after the weighin. They have really supported our events in the past and all our anglers and staff thank them as well
as all our super sponsors with all our hearts!
This was our final Spring event for 2015 and I again want to thank all the anglers that participated and all our sponsors that support this trail. It was a great success again this year and with our new title sponsor for 2016 it
should be better than ever!!!
