Lake Belton Water temperature Started at 50.1 degrees and soared to 52.3 degrees that made the bite tough as evidence of the weights brought to the scales. Expected strong winds and rain made for a challenging derby but with all the steep banks and rock formations is was easy to find fish-able water.  

Rickey Bishop Led the way with a 1st Place finish 8.18 lbs.said he was catching them on purple swim baits. (sounds like a fish tale to me)

2nd place Thomas Ferro with 7.37 lbs.

3rd place Jose Ramos with 7.17 lbs.

4th George Bryan with 6.69 lbs

5th Chad Petrie  with 5.93 lbs.

Big Bass 5.37 lbs went to George Bryan  

I will say that Lake Belton should be Awesome for the State Tournament coming up this April 26 – 27, come and join us.

Thanks to all that fished and Cecil Tubbs for doing the weight in 

Fishermen,

North East anglers faced a cold and foggy Squaw most of the day which made moving around a little hairy. However, Every angler brought fish to the Scales! The big bite was tough to come by for most however getting bit was not a problem.

We had some challenges that come with fishing Squaw Creek waiting in line, high launch fee, finding a place to do weigh in, etc.etc.

Congratulations to Jon Harshbarger, he had no problem finding quality fish he took 1st  with 15.37 lbs, Randy Kavpil was 2nd with 13.28 lbs and thank you for letting us use Century Bass Club scales as a back up, 3rd Place out of the back of the boat was Bert Petrie 12.43 lbs and 4th was Mike Casanova 12.38 lbs also out of the back of the boat.

Big Bass for the Tournament went to Jon Harshbarger.
