WAGONER’S BRUMNETT WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE OKIE DIVISION EVENT ON FORT GIBSON LAKE

El Reno’s Ezell tops Co-angler Division

[print_link]

WAGONER, Okla. (June 19, 2017) – Boater Brett Brumnett of Wagoner, Oklahoma, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 19 pounds, 7 ounces Saturday to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Okie Division event on Fort Gibson Lake. Brumnett took home $4,507 for his victory.

“I started out fishing 6 to 8 miles north of takeoff, on the upper end of the lake,” said Brumnett, who earned his first career victory in BFL competition. “About 20 minutes in I caught a 4-pounder on a football jig, but after another hour or so I couldn’t get a bite. So, I started making my way back down the lake.

“I noticed that they were pulling water, so I went and hit a couple of points that had some big wood on it,” Brumnett continued. “I was throwing a chartreuse and white (Strike King) spinnerbait with gold Colorado blades and I ended up catching a 6½-pounder at my first spot. When I caught that one I figured that is what I needed to be doing.”

Brumnett said that he fished shallow for the rest of the afternoon, targeting fish that were feeding on shad around big wood and bushes. He said that he ended up catching seven keepers on the spinnerbait.

“Near the end I came down close to the check-in and got out on a ledge,” Brumnett said. “I picked the football jig back up and caught a nice one with about 10 minutes to go. That fish won me the tournament.”

Brumnett said his jig that caught his first and last fish was a peanut butter and jelly-colored Jewel Football jig with a Gene Larew Biffle Bug trailer.

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Brett Brumnett, Wagoner, Okla., five bass, 19-7, $4,507

2^nd: James Marsh, Thomas, Okla., five bass, 19-2, $2,253

3^rd: Sheldon Collings, Grove, Okla., five bass, 17-13, $1,702

4^th: Ed Barton, Vian, Okla., five bass, 17-7, $1,152

ROCK HILL’S JENNINGS WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE WYLIE.

ROCK HILL, S.C. (June 19, 2017) – Boater Jeff Jennings of Rock Hill, South Carolina, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 19 pounds, 3 ounces Saturday to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) North Carolina Division event on Lake Wylie. Jennings took home $5,945 for his victory.

“I’ve fished Lake Wylie all of my life and I went to places where I had caught fish before,” said Jennings, who earned his third career win in BFL competition. “It was a tough day – I only caught six keepers. But, they were all the same size. They looked like brothers and sisters. It was just my day.”

Jennings said that he covered a lot of water, flipping wood, trees and docks all over the lake, from the dam to up the river.

“I fished a Texas-rigged black and brown creature bait all day,” Jennings said. “It seemed like a lot of people were fishing deep, so I took a chance fishing shallow. We hit a lot of places and we’d go for a long time without a bite. I never dreamed that my 4-11 would win big bass, but it was tough on everybody.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Jeff Jennings, Rock Hill, S.C., five bass, 19-3, $5,945

2^nd: Scott Hamrick, Denver, N.C., five bass, 13-5, $1,953

3^rd: Christopher Kanute, Townville, S.C., five bass, 12-15, $1,169

4^th: Jason Wilson, Lincolnton, N.C., five bass, 12-12, $918

5^th: Cole Huskins, Mount Holly, N.C. five bass, 12-7, $701

6^th: Klaus Hadschin, Granite Falls, N.C., five bass, 12-1, $613

6^th: Russell Corry, Shelby, N.C., five bass, 12-1, $613

8^th: Robert Walser, Lexington, N.C., five bass, 11-12, $826

9^th: Scott Beattie, Lincolnton, N.C., five bass, 11-7, $467

10^th: Jason Barnes, Concord, N.C., five bass, 11-4, $409

Jennings caught a 4-pound, 11-ounce bass, which was the heaviest of the tournament in the Boater Division. The catch also earned him the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $440.

3^rd: Charles Wood, Thomasville, N.C., five bass, 9-12, $585

4^th: Brent Kukowski, Fort Mill, S.C., five bass, 9-4, $459

5^th: Greg Fox, Fayetteville, N.C., five bass, 9-1, $351

6^th: Brian Transon, Sherrills Ford, N.C., five bass, 8-12, $321

MADISON’S MYERS WINS T-H MARINE FLW BASS FISHING LEAGUE HOOSIER DIVISION EVENT ON LAKE MONROE PRESENTED BY NAVIONICS

Hamilton’s Sykes tops Co-angler Division

[print_link]

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (June 19, 2017) – Boater Chris Myers of Madison, Indiana, weighed a five-bass limit totaling 16 pounds, 13 ounces Saturday to win the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Hoosier Division event on Lake Monroe presented by Navionics. Myers took home $6,394 for his victory.

“Summertime in the Hoosier division is tough fishing,” said Myers, who earned his third career BFL win – second on Lake Monroe. “To win you have to have a perfect day. You have to boat every keeper that bites and I did – I had six bites all day long and I boated them all.

“The key for me in this event was mental strength,” Myers continued. “I had engine problems on Friday, the day before the tournament. It wouldn’t even start. I took it to a local dealer and they fixed some loose wires and got it to where it would start, go forward and in reverse. I didn’t even have time to take it out on the water and make sure that I could get on plane.

“I didn’t want to take a chance during game day and I didn’t want to get too far away because I didn’t want to break down again, so all day long I fished no further than 2 miles from the launch ramp – all idle, never once on plane.”

Myers said that he caught his six keepers on Texas-rigged soft plastic worms – 5-inch green pumpkin, 7-inch electric blue and 12-inch solid black.

“I caught them as shallow as 6 inches and as deep as 12 feet,” Myers said. “I don’t think that size or color mattered. I was fishing shallow buck brush and deep water stumps and rock piles. Three came shallow and three came deep.

“You have to have the right kind of makeup to fish bass tournaments,” Myers went on to say. “Tough things happen to everybody, and when they happen to you, you have to embrace it. I certainly did not think that I was going to win, but I thought that if I put my head down and fished hard that I could possibly cash a check. It turned out that my day was better than that.”

The top 10 boaters finished the tournament in:

1^st: Chris Myers, Madison, Ind., five bass, 16-13, $6,394

2^nd: Frank McClain, Scottsburg, Ind., five bass, 14-15, $2,197

3^rd: Jeramiah Sifers, New Albany, Ind., five bass, 14-6, $1,464

4^th: Scott Bateman, Jasper, Ind., five bass, 14-0, $1,225

5^th: Brad Stogsdill, Nashville, Ind., five bass, 12-14, $879

6^th: James Richardson Jr., Cincinnati, Ohio, five bass, 11-0, $805

7^th: Phil Hunt, Connersville, Ind., three bass, 10-15, $732

8^th: David Spivey, Hamilton, Ohio, three bass, 10-14, $1,552

8^th: Shane Oxford, Saint Meinrad, Ind., five bass, 10-14, $622

10^th: Bryce Kalen, Indianapolis, Ind., four bass, 10-10, $513

Complete results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Spivey caught a 6-pound, 10-ounce bass, which was the heaviest of the tournament in the Boater Division. The catch earned him the day’s Boater Big Bass award of $630.

Ryan Skyes of Hamilton, Ohio weighed in five bass totaling 16 pounds, 11 ounces Saturday to win the Co-angler Division and the top prize of $2,393.

The top 10 co-anglers were:

1^st: Ryan Sykes, Hamilton, Ohio, five bass, 16-11, $2,393

2^nd: David Jenkins, Shelbyville, Ind., two bass, 10-15, $1,406

3^rd: Gary Hoffman, Stoutsville, Ohio, two bass, 6-13, $621

3^rd: Leroy Miller, Napoleon, Ohio, two bass, 6-13, $621

5^th: Charlie Kuebler, Jasper, Ind., three bass, 6-11, $439

6^th: Jim Betts, Fort Wayne, Ind., two bass, 5-14, $402

7^th: Jason Bailey, Mooresville Ind., two bass, 5-13, $347

7^th: Dave Roberts, Indianapolis, Ind., one bass, 5-13, $347

9^th: Greg Roberts, Columbus, Ind., two bass, 5-10, $292

10^th: Tyler Buell, Lafayette, Ind., two bass, 5-8, $256

The top 45 boaters and co-anglers in the region based on point standings, along with the five winners in each qualifying event, will be entered in the Oct. 5-7 BFL Regional Championship on Kentucky Lake in Gilbertsville, Kentucky. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard and $20,000, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518C with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard.

Winds were nonexistent in the am up to about 7 mph in the afternoon. There were a lot of bass weighed in but most were small. We did have 5 bass over 5 pounds which is a good sign that Kerr is getting well.

MONSOOR WINS FLW TOUR ON POTOMAC RIVER PRESENTED BY COSTA SUNGLASSES

Wisconsin pro Wins FLW Tour regular-season finale, $100,000

MARBURY, Md. (June 18, 2017) – Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor of La Crosse, Wisconsin, won the FLW Tour on the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses Sunday after bringing a five-bass limit to the scale weighing 15 pounds, 2 ounces. Monsoor’s four-day cumulative total of 20 bass weighing 66 pounds, 11 ounces was enough to fend off second-place finisher pro Chad Warren of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, by 5 ounces. Monsoor earned $100,000 and his first career Tour victory.

“I’ll tell you what, to finally win my first Tour event is the coolest thing that has ever happened,” said Monsoor, who had eight previous top-10 finishes in Tour competition. “I’ve won a lot of tournaments and awards over the years, but never an FLW Tour event. I could die tomorrow and be a happy man. I don’t want to, obviously, but I’ve had a good life.”

Monsoor said he spent his week picking apart two areas of the Potomac River – a 100- to 200-foot stretch near an area known as Mason’s Neck, and a 100-yard section of water in Quantico Bay. This week, Mason’s Neck gave Monsoor the number of fish he needed to put together limits, while Quantico Bay produced the bigger bites that helped him best the field.

“I started at Mason’s Neck today and like each morning this week, I got a limit by 8:30 (a.m.),” said Monsoor. “I culled one fish and then headed to Quantico. I made the run because I knew it would be out of the wind, and you can’t beat Mother Nature. I figured I’d go to the only place I knew that was protected and that was it.”

Monsoor said he caught two fish from Mason’s Neck that culled before his day concluded.

“The limit-spot in Mason’s Neck was about 2-feet-deep and had black, nasty weeds,” said Monsoor. “The big-fish spot in Quantico Bay was around 4-feet-deep and had clean weeds. I think that’s why the bigger fish were there this week.”

Monsoor said every fish he weighed in during the tournament was caught on a black and blue-colored swimjig with a Yamamoto Baits Flappin’ Hog trailer of the same color.

“It has two tails that flap like an old jig ‘n pig, only this one is cooler,” said Monsoor. “The fish liked the Flappin’ Hog because it wasn’t overwhelming. It was simple – there wasn’t too much going on with it.”

The top 10 pros finished on the Potomac River:

1^st: Yamamoto Baits pro Tom Monsoor, La Crosse, Wis., 20 bass, 66-11, $100,200

2^nd: Chad Warren, Sand Springs, Okla., 20 bass, 66-6, $30,100

3^rd: Chris Johnston, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, 20 bass, 65-8, $25,000

4^th: Cody Meyer, Auburn, Calif., 20 bass, 64-11, $20,000

5^th: Michael Neal, Dayton, Tenn., 20 bass, 64-3, $19,000

6^th: Brandon McMillan, Clewiston, Fla., 20 bass, 63-2, $18,000

7^th: Jeff Sprague, Point, Texas, 20 bass, 59-8, $17,000

8^th: Mike Surman, Boca Raton, Fla., 20 bass, 59-1, $16,000

9^th: Brandon Cobb, Greenwood, S.C., 20 bass, 57-11, $15,000

10^th: Andy Young, Mound, Minn., 17 bass, 52-8, $14,000

Overall there were 47 bass weighing 128 pounds, 13 ounces caught by pros Sunday. Nine pros brought a five-bass limit to the scale.

Bryan Thrift of Shelby, North Carolina, clinched the 2017 FLW Tour Angler of the Year title Friday after accumulating 1,122 points in the annual Angler of the Year race. Thrift’s incredible regular-season was highlighted by four top-10 finishes including two back-to-back second-place efforts. Along with the title, Thrift earned $100,000 and an automatic berth into the 2018 Forrest Wood Cup.

Bradley Dortch of Atmore, Alabama, claimed the FLW Tour Rookie of the Year award, which is awarded to the rookie pro angler who finishes the season with the highest point total.

Ryan Cannon of Bullard, Texas, won the Co-angler Division and $20,000 Friday with a two-day catch of 10 bass weighing 33 pounds, 6 ounces, followed by Richie Eaves of Nauvoo, Illinois, who finished in second place with 10 bass totaling 30 pounds, 3 ounces, worth $7,750.

Gary Haraguchi of Redding, California, won the FLW Tour Co-angler of the Year title and a new Ranger Z518C boat with a 200-horsepower Evinrude outboard.

In FLW Tour competition, pros and co-anglers are randomly paired each day, with pros supplying the boat, controlling boat movement and competing against other pros. Co-anglers fish from the back deck against other co-anglers. The full field of anglers competed Thursday and Friday. Co-angler competition concluded following Friday’s weigh-in, while the top 20 pros based on their two-day accumulated weight advanced to Saturday. Only the top 10 pros continued competition Sunday, with the winner determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from the four days of competition.

Throughout the season, anglers were also vying for valuable points in hopes of qualifying for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, the world championship of professional bass fishing. The 2017 Forrest Wood Cup will be on Lake Murray in Columbia, South Carolina, Aug. 11-13.

The FLW Tour at the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses was hosted by the Charles County Board of Commissioners. The next event for FLW Tour anglers is the final event of the 2017 tournament-season – the Forrest Wood Cup championship.

Television coverage of the FLW Tour at the Potomac River presented by Costa Sunglasses will premiere in high-definition (HD) on NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) Sept. 20 from Noon.-1 p.m. EDT. The Emmy-nominated “FLW” television show airs on NBCSN, the Pursuit Channel and the World Fishing Network and is broadcast to more than 564 million households worldwide, making it the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the world.

Outlook for June 2017

[print_link]

BASS- The top water bite is in full swing and the fish are hungry. Look for active fish around willow grass, rocky points, rip rap banks and boat docks. There is a second blue gill spawn going on and they are aggressively chowing down on bluegill.

Buzz baits, walking baits, frogs and poppers will all catch fish early and late in the day. Once the sun is up, move out to deeper water or around boat docks with shakey head rigged plastics, carolina rigged plactics and medium running crankbaits.

If fishing uplake try pitching jigs, creature baits and worms to the emerging willow grass once the sun is high in the sky. A spinnerbait will still catch a lot of fish on windy, rainy and cloudy conditions.

As we move towards the end of the month, the deep bite will take over and brush piles, bridge pilings and rock piles will be great choices to start your day out on. Deep diving crankbaits like the Norman DD22 and Strike King 6XD will be go to choices. Large Texas Rigged worms and Jig & Pig Combos will also play into your day.

CRAPPIE- The Specks are done spawning and they have made their way back out to deep water for the summer. Bridge pilings will play a major role for those wanting to catch them during the hot water months.

Although they will still chase and bite artificial baits, your best bet is to use a small minnow rigged under a slip bobber or just on a jig head for best results.

Two inch curl tail grubs rigged on a 1/16oz jig head can produce many fish for you under the right circumstances. They will bite a variety of colors, we all have our favorite colors and here are a few of mine….. John Deere Green (Tractor Green), Wally World, Green Weenie and Electric Chicken.

STRIPER- The line sides have moved back down to the mid lake region and at first light are breaking and chasing shad to the surface. Broken back redfins are my favorite, but a four inch swimbait rigged on a 1/4oz jighead will also produce.

After the morning feed heads back to deeper water, look for them on your electronics and vertically jig them up with blade baits or spoons.

Trolling deep diving redfins with bucktail trailers and DD22’s have been working well for anglers. Live Shad and Herring will also produce many catches. We have had several reports of keeper size (20″) “WIPERS” caught lately as well.
