Empty Lake Bass Club - Highland Lake 6/28
Message:
Well another good showing, I believe we had 10 boats show. Air temps- 65 in the am climbing to 85 by the afternoon Water temps - in the mid to high 70's Water clarity - very clear to slight stain Winds - low most of the day (5-10mph) Boat traffic - not as bad as I've seen it there, I actually expected worse Pointing Dog and I started off in second bay throwing the usuall topwater baits, tubes, jigs, senko's, hair jigs, drop shot, etc. in 6 to 12 feet of water. We spot hopped a couple times, and had our 5 fish by 8am, but just couldn't get any big girls to cooperate. The winning bag came from deep water 20+ feet. Some big fish were caught, lunker was caught by Sarom and Jim, a 4-8 largemouth. There were quite a few big smallies, well over 3 lbs, I don't have the weights, so I'm going by memory here, since Empty lake bassman hasn't posted this report. 1st place went to a new team of Justin Tralli and Nick P. with 12-14 I believe 2nd and 3rd place were in the 11's 4th place was 10lbs something 5th and 6th place were in the 9's (Empty lake bassman & partner) (Pointing Dog and I) All boats caught fish, and most boats had 5 fish limits. All in all a fun day with plenty of fish caught. Some pickeral and rock bass were caught as well, I don't think anybody caught a trout. Our next tourney is at East Twin on July19th.

With Justin and Nick fishing together, you are going to see them take first a lot. Both are excellent fishermen.
