[print_link]

The 2016 Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail Qualifier #4 at Kerr Lake produced another  great turnout for the PBC Trails!!  The weather started out great with air temps about 49 degrees in the am on upto 65 in the pm. Water temps ranged from 58 to 64. Winds were quiet in the am and blowing up to about 10 in the  pm. A great total of 84 teams participated with most all of them weighing in fish. The bite at Kerr is really beingaffected by the up and down weather patterns coming thru the area, some cold fresh water rains, dropping water levels and cold fronts. It’s just up & down. The water level was a good 3 feet low, which moved the fish out of the bushes into deeper water. But the warm weather is on the way and that just means better fishing to come!

Todd Massey & Tim Parker finished 1st Place weighing in 5 bass at 19.17 lbs. and along with winning the 1st Place TWT, Tow Boats US Member Award and with a check coming from Triton Boats Gold Program , theirwinnings will top out at $9,675!!! Not a bad payday!!!Zak Davenport & Ben Whittington took 2nd place with 5 fish weighing 14.96 lbs. and they also won 2nd Place TWT for a total of $1,370. The 1st Place Big Fish (6.29 lbs.) was caught by the 15th place team of Mike Salguero & Dale Delaney netting them total winnings of $1,259. Payback got spread out pretty good!!

269 fish were weighed in for a total of 866 pounds for an average of 2.48 lbs. each. Most of the fish were caught on spinnerbaits, crankbaits, whacky worms and jerk baits in 2 to 10 feet of water. Water temps are very importantnow and bass are starting to bed in the shallower water. Hopefully they will keep the water level at Kerr up a little for the spring spawn.
