The 2017 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Final Qualifier #7 at Falls Lake produced another great turnout for the PBC Trails!!  The weather started out great with air temps about 62degrees in the am on up to 84 in the pm. Water temps averaged 85. Winds were very light and variable all day. A whopping total of 82 teams participated with most all of them weighing in fish. The bite at Falls isreally good at this time with a shallow bite in the am and when the sun comes out…fish deeper. The fish are hungry after the spawn.

Falls Lake veterans Roy Gardner & George Pearce topped the big field weighing in 5 bass at 29.76 lbs. and along with winning the TWT their winnings topped out at $2,880!!! The team found a honey hole early in the week and it was loaded with some nice bass that nibbled on their large swimbaits this day!!

Sam & Matthew Jones had their best finish of the year taking 2nd place with 5 fish weighing 26.62 lbs. for a total of $850 in winnings. 3rd Place was won by the team of Todd Massey & Tim Parker with 26.22 lbs. Theyalso won the 2nd Place TWT for a grand total of $1,300  The 1st Place Big Fish (9.36 lbs.) was caught by the 7th place team of Brad Crabtree & Jared Thaxton netting them total winnings of $1,510. The money wasspread around good today.

273 fish were weighed in for a total of 891 pounds for an average of 3.27 lbs. each. Most of the fish were caught on WLS shaky heads, large swim baits, carolina rigs, trick worm rigs, topwater frogs, Carolina Crankbaits, spinnerbaits & chatterbaits in 15 of water or less. The early morning topwater bite was good and when the sun popped up, the fish went deeper and deep fished baits worked best then. The water was about normal level and the surface temps averaged 86 degrees. The bass have pretty much finished spawning and are very hungry at this time trying to get their strength back from having them little fry!! Summertime fishing is here!!
