Allen Takes the Lake Tyler Event in the NE Region

Posted on Written by

NE anglers,

Lake Tyler on Saturday Gave up a 15.44lbs. Lone Star Lunker…I saw Her She was a True Giant.

NE Texas BASS Nation Tournament is 4/18 at “Lake O’ the Pines”, Boat ramp  Cedar Springs.

Be in the water by 6:30AM weigh in at 3:00PM

However on Sunday we had 31 NE BASS Nation Anglers Looking for their Lone Star Lunker But it Happened to be less than a third of the size.

A cold front came in Sat night and lowered the water temp some 8 degrees and gave us a nice stiff North wind which made it a different lake form Saturday to Sunday.

It was Feast Or Famine as I thought Tyler Fished Much tougher on Sunday as only four limits were brought to the scales!

Michael Allen who took 1st place with 5 fish that weighed 14.69lbs. and Big Bass at 4.15lbs. was enough to best our group.

Kenny Moore came in 2nd with 12.36lbs. and second Big Bass 4.14lbs. a drop of water short!

Chad Petrie was 3rd with 11.67lbs. 

Colton Harvick was 4th with 11.56lbs. 

Jeff Lugar was 5th with 9.33lbs.

And last check went to last years Tournament director Cecil Tubb with 7.79lbs.

Also Keep Coy Fraizer in your Thoughts and Prayers as he is going to have Bye-Pass surgery later this week!

Thank you,

Visit the SE Region Tournament page to see individual tournament results.

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.

Saturday 3/27/21:

Saturday we had a great turn out of anglers. The winning spot went to Gary Robin with the Vidor Bass Anglers Association. He had the winning weight of 20.21 lbs and also the honors of Big Bass of the day with a 9.52 HOG that anchored his win. Gary stated he locked his rod in hand setup with a plum apple wacky worm and targeted shallow cypress trees some button willows, mostly solo trees on points.

Second place went to Justin Royal with Vidor Bass Anglers with a stringer of five that went 17.90 lbs and kicker that went 6.75 lbs.

Third place went to Pete Bruener with Nacogdoches Bass Club with a limit that topped the scales at 17.55 lbs. and a kicker that went 6.11 lbs.
