26 teams competed in the 3rd annual Piedmont Bass Classics Hyco Lake Open. We had pretty good weather conditions with about 42 degrees in the morning and about 63 at weighin with winds 5 to 10 mph. Water temps ranged from 50 to 60 depending on the areas fished and most of the water was really stained from previous
rains during the week. James Noteboom & Zackry Wood or Selma & Clayton, took 1st place honors with 5 bass weighing 14.48 lbs. They won the 1st place money of $832. Lee Day & Ben Horiston weighing in 4 totaling 13.00 lbs., won 2nd place and 1st Place Big Fish Award (8.19 lbs.) for a grand total of $738. 81 fish were weighed in for a total weight of 174 pounds. Most fish were caught from 1 to 12 feet of water on a variety of baits including jerk baits, c-rigs, jigs, spinnerbaits & crankbaits for the most part, and the fish looked very healthy. The hot baits for the day reported to be jerk baits and spinnerbaits! I want to thank all the anglers that participated and that supported this tournament.
