Saturday September 13th, 2014 ~ Jordan Lake ~ Farrington Point Wildlife Ramp
30 teams arrived to fish the The Cashion Fishing Rods ‘End of Year’ Team Tournament Bass Fishing Trail Qualifier #5 at Jordan Lake! We had great weather with just a spot or 2 of rain during the day. About 65 in the am and around 78 in the afternoon. The wind blew from 0 to about 5 mph which was nice. Water temps averaged 80 degrees. The fish were caught in shallow water early on to 30′ of water later in the day, which is a typical summer/fall pattern at Jordan. Jigs, C & T rigs, spinnerbaits, a little top water and crankbaits seemed to be the hot baits.
Thomas Sheffer & Ken McNeill landed 5 bass weighing a total of 29.04 lbs. taking 1st Place worth $860. 4 bass averaged 5 lbs. and a kicker weighing in at 9.04 helped them win on this day! They also won the big fish award and 1st place TWT for a grand total of $1,735!
2nd Place Team of Jaime Fajardo & Josh Hooks caught 5 bass weighing 20.21 lbs. They also won the 2nd Place TWT and took home a total of $705. 3rd Place Team, Tony Fofi & Dave Murdock, had 16.87 lbs & 2nd Place Big Fish (6.07) to take home $530! Todd Massey of Chapel Hill won the Tow Boats US Member Award of $50.
78 bass were weighed in for a total of 240 pounds. This averaged just over 3 lbs. a fish and they were nice and healthy looking.This was our last tournament on Jordan for the year. I want to thank all the anglers that participated and all our sponsors that support these trails.
Our next tournament will be the Cashion Fishing Rods ‘End of Year’ Team Tournament Bass Fishing Trail Qualifier #6, Saturday, September 27th at Mayo Reservoir out of Triple Springs Wildlife Ramp. All the information on our tournaments can be found at http://piedmontbassclassics.
