Winning Pattern
Ripping Chatter Baits through weeds in 5' - 6' depths
Bill Barrett saw everybody beating the bank for pre-spawn largies and he knew that he had all the bass to himself.  With low water temps and cloudy skies, the bass hadn't yet made a big move shallow, and most of the club was wasting their casts trying to buy a bite along the bank.  Barrett moved out to the first weedline in about six feet of water and started ripping a chatterbait through the grass to trigger reluctant largies into biting.  His strategy worked and he was able to boat 9.55 lb of Mopo largemouth which, under the tough conditions, was enough to give him the win.  Congratulations to Bill Barrett for a well deserved victory.

Finishing less than half a pound behind Barrett, Brian Wheeler also found fish off the bank.  Brian junk fished his way to a 9.18 lb limit, catching five bass on about five different lures.  His effort almost brought him the win but he ended up just shy of Barrett.  Still, it was an impressive performance under difficult early-season conditions.

Landing in third with an impressive performance of his own was Brian Ware.  Fishing from the back of Brian Wheeler's boat, Ware boated three fish, including a 4.62 lb kicker to anchor his 7.52 lb limit.  Congratulations to Brian and Brian for their great finishes from the front, and the back, of the boat.

Coming up next, Long Pond Harwich on May 11 for a Smallie spawn spectacular!
