Lugoff Bassmasters Tournament
Report: 22-23 May 2010, Clarks Hill
The blueback herring have
become a real red herring this year! Just like on Lake Hartwell
last month, members had trouble finding the bluebacks and weights were
down from past years. We were a couple of weeks late on this
one. Very few members reported any real schooling activity.
It appears that they moved deep, and the bass followed and were
suspended somewhere. Weights for the 2-day were almost like 1 day
of fishing in the last few years. Even limits were hard to come
by. For awhile, it looked like the previous low weight limit was
in risk of falling. Fishing should be great in the future as
members reported catching a bunch of dinks. Keepers and bass of
any size were tough to find. Looks like the majority were caught
on points on the c-rig. Some were caught from bridges on a fluke,
and some came on top water. The tough fishing seems to continue
from last winter. Next up is Lake Murray on 5 June.
Hopefully, the herring will show their true color!
Reminder: Our next meeting will again be on Thursday, 3
June.
