The SE Texas BASS Nation held its 3rd and 4th events for the season on famed Lake Sam Rayburn. With over 100+ anglers on both days. March usually promises big females and big bag weights and the lake did not disappoint for some. There were multiple patterns but there were a few that lead the field. The lake was on the rise leading up the weekend and also a few cold fronts as normal this time of the year. Saturday turned out to be a warm day, mostly cloudy and little breeze. Sunday on the other hand had to be a trailering event due to extreme high winds and possible rains.
