PIEDMONT BASS CLASSICS $10,000 SPRING TEAM BASS TRAIL QUALIFIER #1 RESULTS Saturday March 5th, 2016 ~ Shearon Harris ~ Cross Point Landing Wildlife Ramp
What a great turnout for the 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Qualifier #1 at Shearon Harris!! The weather turned out great with air temps about 32 degrees in the am on up to 55 in the pm. Water temps ranged from 47 to 55. Winds were quiet in the am and blowing up to about 10 in the pm. A whopping total of 88 teams participated with about half of them weighing in fish. More fish were caught by the field but could not be weighed in because of the slot limit rules. Harris fishing is just about to explode!!
Mike Dinterman and Vern Fleming took their first win this year with 5 bass weighing a whopping 31.86 lbs. along with 2nd place Big Fish (8.80) and 1st place TWT for a total of $3,673 in winnings.

The 1st Place Big Fish (9.09 lbs.) was caught by the team of Jennifer & Eric Christian netting them $1,232 along with winning 3rd Place for a total of $1,902 in cash.
92 fish were weighed in for a total of 333 pounds for an average of 3.62 lbs. each. Most of the fish were caught on shaky heads, crankbaits, jigs and jerk baits in 15 foot of water or less. Water temps are very important now.
