      The weather was great Saturday for the Boats Unlimited NC Team Tournament Bass Trail qualifier #5 atKerr Lake. Again a great turnout as 89 teams enjoyed the beautiful weather and a great day of catching bass!It was a little chilly that morning at about 46 degrees with very little wind and around 79 that afternoon withlight winds. Water temps averaged 64 depending on the area fished. Kerr really seems to be on the reboundafter the bass virus. The fish really looked healthy and a putting on some good weight!Long time fishing buddies, Stump Bledsoe & Glenn Elliott, took 1st Place honors, catching 5 bass weighing19.14 lbs. They won $1,470 for 1st, TWT 1st place of $1,225, 1st place Tow Boats US Member Bonus of $50and the Boats Unlimited NC 1st Place Bonus of $750 for a grand total of $3,495.     Jay Garrard and Mark Herndon took 2nd with 5 bass weighing 17.55 lbs winning $860 along with $525 for2nd place TWT for a total of $1,385. Big fish for the day was a nice 5.78 pounder caught by the team of TimGoss & Jeff Vincent pocketing them $1,204.Almost every team weighed in for a whopping total of 359 fish weighing 912 pounds for an average of a little over 2.5 lbs. each. We had several fish over 5 lbs. and a bigger amount in the 4 pound range which is great for Kerr Lake at this time! Hot baits for the day were flipping jigs, c-rigs, shakey heads, spinnerbaits, Rat-L-Traps and jerk baits. Most fish were caught shallow. No one is really saying much about where and and what they caught them with because there is a lot of prize money up for grabs at Kerr in the next 2 months!I want to thank all the anglers that participated and all our sponsors that support this trail.      The next Boats  Unlimited NC Team Tournament Bass Trail tournament will be at Falls Lake on May 10th, out of Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp.All the information on our tournaments can be found at http://piedmontbassclassics.com/index.html
