Ten teams participated in this draw
tournament on Travis. We started the tournament with the air temp in the
mid 70's, water temp at 82, no wind and partly cloudy skies. We ended the
tournament with the air temp in the mid 90's, water temp at 83, wind at 10 -
20MPH from the South, and partly cloudy skies. A total of 59 fish weighed
82.48 pounds.
The "how to" sessions pay
off! Allen used a fluke technique that he learned during the "how
to" session presented at one of the club meetings to catch the winning
stringer. This was the first time Allen and James placed 1st. They
reported catching their fish before 9:30AM on the drop offs around Windy Point
using sinking flukes. The fish were holding in 23 - 30 foot of
water. Big bass of the tournament was caught on a blue fleck worm flipped
in the brush up the river.
