Next Wateree Open is May 25th! With the water level finally stable we see there is still plenty of Water Willow or “grass” as most call it growing along the banks again! It’s in patches but there’s plenty of it! Hopefully the lake can not suffer anymore flooding this year and next Spring. If that happens the fishing will start improving. Yesterday the fishing was very good for just about all the teams. 22 of the 23 teams weighed in a limit which averaged 15.23 lbs per team and total weight was 335.22 lbs. The average BF was 4.01 lbs!
The team with the top weight was Tim & Craig Haven! They brought in 5 bass weighing 19.42 lbs and weighed the 1st BF as well. All total the Havens took home $1,299.00!
2nd Place went to Jason Bateman & Steve Phillips with 5 bass weighing 18.68 lbs!
3rd Ronnie & Jason McCoy 18.10 lbs!
4th Jerry Freezon 18.07 lbs!
