Ray Roberts can be a feast or famine one day to the next. During the spring Ray Bob is consistent, serving up strong winds in one direction or another and either a banner day or a humble pie. The next day could be a humble pie or a banner day. Day to day activity on Roberts is consistent; it seems to never repeat itself.
The North Central Team Trail saw 6 limits in the 20 pounds range or more brought to the scales in mid-March for those that found a banner day on tournament day. Ray Bob seemed to be ahead of it’s traditionally late spawn schedule verse other North Texas lakes for some teams.
Three teams came close to cashing checks with bags ranging from 19.66 ( Mike Aaron/Marty Glenn ) 19.94 ( Jerry David/Jacob David) and a 21.06 ( Steven Caldwell/Craig Rowley). They all had a great day on a windy Ray Bob.
In the money was the team of Rob Paxton and Dan Beard that finished 3rd with a salty 21.92 lbs sack. They focused on the back of creek pockets throwing weightless 7- inch M-Pack Shads in Watermelon Magic Red designed by the one and only Mark Pack as well as weightless black in blue laminated senkos. They earned $410.00
Terry Anderson and Bubba Taylor spent their day in shallow water employing chatterbaits and underspins to bring 22.00 lbs to the scales anchored by the biggest bass of the day, a 7.79 ditch pickle to secure 2nd place and $1000.00.
Jim Harcrow and David Rosenquist focused on the back of creeks and shallow pockets that contained a mixture of good grass and spotty clay bottoms presenting weightless 5- inch M-Pack Shads in Watermelon Magic Red designed once again by the late Mark Pack mentioned above. They topped the group of 20-pound sacks with 22.30 to take home $1,500.00 and a 1st place finish.
Congrats to the winners!
Next up for the North Central Team Trail will be Lake Waco April 18th.
