Thursday Evening Championship Tournament Results

[Stockton Lake Guide Service]

We had a really cold start this morning for the tournament. The fog was really heavy, which delayed take off by 30 minutes. It was about 42 degrees at take off, with lots of fog and very little wind. The water temp ranged from 62 around the twin bridges to 52 above the Greenfield ramp.

As usual, it took a big bag of fish to win. 1st place was won by throwing jigs into deep brush piles. 2nd place was won by throwing lipless crankbaits in the backs of the creeks (or so I heard) and can’t tell you what third place did to take third.

I can say that throwing crankbaits in the backs of coves and creeks will produce some fish, and if you get into the right place at the right time it can produce some good fish.

Here are the results:

1st place Jay Carter and Perry Ayres 5 fish 18.88 lbs $600.00

2nd place Vic McQuay and Tim Johnson 5 fish 13.88 lbs $400.00

3rd place Alex Sahiyeh and Erick Prey 5 fish 12.54 lbs $300.00

4th place Chad McManis and Dan Arnold 5 fish 10.70 lbs Nice Job

5th place Bob Bennett and Steve Meents 5 fish 10.59 lbs OK Job

Total for the tournament we had 14 boats the qualified to fish for $1,300.00. There was no cost for the tournament, but big bass pot was $20.00 per boat. We caught a total of 39 fish, which were released following the weigh-in

Big Bass-Jay Carter and Perry Ayres------------------------------ 6.57 lbs $250.00

And everyone that wanted threw in an extra $10.00 for the side pot which gave another $110.00 to the winners. Congrats on a great day.

Thanks to everyone that fished Thursday Evenings this year and we will start back up fishing again in April. Make plans now to attend, the more boats the more fish off money!!
