Kevin Hensley wins on Lake Gaston
[print_link]
It was a relatively tough bite on Gaston Saturday. Water temps were in the low to mid 80’s. Sunshine, blue bird skies and heavy boat traffic were the order of the day. Kevin Hensley found most of his fish in the scattered clumps of grass in secondary creeks along the shoreline, enticing them for the most part with jigs. He brought in the winning stringer of 13.33-pounds of bass anchored with a very nice 5.58-pound fish to also capture big fish honors for the day. The big fish came off wood adjacent to the grass, also on a jig. His win earned him $590 for the day of fishing.
Right on his heels and less than an ounce behind was Tyler Purcell with a five-fish limit at 13.28-pounds. Rounding out the money winners was Randy Mcfadden with 10.57-pounds.
The Virginia division will be on the Chickahominy and James rivers for our next event on 4 August, launching from Chickahominy Riverfront Park.
