Stars and Stripes Report
Big bass continue to dominate at Gull Lake, especially for anglers using forward facing sonar.
Kyle Smith and Rickey Lynch won with a whopping 21.16 pounds.
“We caught them out deep on a minnow,” they said. “It was a tough bite but we were fortunate to get a few big smallmouth to bite which are key to being successful on Gull.”
They fished from 40-60 feet deep. Their biggest smallmouth came within the first 30 minutes of the event.
Jesse Richardson and Lance Cole finished a close second with 20.71 pounds.
“All the fish caught today were on Tightliner's Customs ball head. We used a bunch of different minnows today we got at The Angler, Inc.” They were targeting similar depths. They also mentioned they caught LOTS of bass and culled up throughout the day.
Third place Luke Toliver wasn’t far behind with 20.65 pounds.
Travis and Charlie Terry caught the biggest bass of the tourney, a 4.87 pounder.
The season finale is at Austin Lake on August 24th. Entry is $100, no membership required. It’s an eight hour event that will start at safe light.
