An overcast day presented great fishing conditions, not necessarily good biting conditions.
The Team of Elton Brock and Jason Geesey brought a five fish limit to the scales that weighed 15.19 lbs with a 4.14 lb kicker. Good enough for first place and a check for $712.
At safe light we headed to the Dam area, and there were about 20 boats competing for the water there, we caught a couple of non-keepers and decided to leave the crowd. We headed to the mid lake area and were looking for bream beds, finding those in the coves we were able to catch some additional fish that would be great fish anywhere else but were just short of 16 inches. As the morning progressed, we moved to the boat docks where we landed the majority of our keepers with brush hogs. We left a few in the lake that got tangled up or broke off, but overall, it was a great day with lots of fish being caught. The presentation was the key – very slow and had to coax them into biting, with multiple casts.
Second place went to the local Team of Brian Jones and Matt Russell. Also with five fish that weighed 14.47 lbs. They also had the big fish of the event that went 4.29 lbs.
The next NE/SE Region tournament will be at Toledo Bend on May 30, 2026.
