What a great turnout for the 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Qualifier #1 at  Shearon Harris!!  The weather turned out great with air temps about 32 degrees in the am on up to 55 in the  pm. Water temps ranged from 47 to 55. Winds were quiet in the am and blowing up to about 10 in the pm. A
whopping total of 88 teams participated with about half of them weighing in fish. More fish were caught by the  field but could not be weighed in because of the slot limit rules. Harris fishing is just about to explode!!

Mike Dinterman and Vern Fleming took their first win this year with 5 bass weighing a whopping 31.86 lbs. along with 2nd place Big Fish (8.80) and 1st place TWT for a total of $3,673 in winnings.

Tim Goss & Jeff Vincent took 2nd place with 5 fish weighing 26.91 lbs. They also won 2nd Place TWT and the Tow Boats US Membership Award for a grand total of $1,620.

The 1st Place Big Fish (9.09 lbs.) was caught by the team of Jennifer & Eric
Christian netting them $1,232 along with winning 3rd Place for a total of $1,902 in cash.

92 fish were weighed in for a total of 333 pounds for an average of 3.62 lbs. each. Most of the fish were caught on
shaky heads, crankbaits, jigs and jerk baits in 15 foot of water or less. Water temps are very important now.

is Saturday March 12th, the Piedmont Bass Classics St. Patricks Day Shamrock Open at Jordan Lake out of
