Lake St Helens June 12th
TOURNAMENT RESULTS
June 12th, marked the second tournament of the season, for Top Bass. This event was named
“The D & R Sport Center Open”, after one of our great sponsors.
The weather for the tournament was humid, under P. cloudy skies, normal winds & temp in the 70’s.
Fishing for this event was not the best. Anglers stated that they caught many bass, but most of them in the 10-13” range. Also there were tons of pike caught! Not many limits came to the scales, with most who weighed in, only having 1 to 3 fish. We also had 9 anglers who did not weigh-in a fish.
Only 98 fish came to the scales. All fish seemed healthy, just not that big.
Congratulations to Morris Collins, from West Bloomfield, who had a limit for 15.07#, and walked away with the win. Second Place went to Bill Hurley, from Waterford, who had a limit for 12.64#, and was anchored by Big Bass for the tournament @ 4.69#. Ron Conner, from Oxford, took 3rd Place, with 11.98#. Fourth Place went to Kevin Vida, from Clare, with10.31#. Good job to all who fished this tournament.
