INDY BASS CLUB NEWS
Lake Waveland Turns Up The Heat With water temperatures in the upper 80’s and afternoon temperatures expected to be in the 90’s this tournament got an early start at 4am and finished at 12 noon in an effort to beat the daytime heat. During the pre-tournament meeting Team Botos and Ray were the high bidders of $35 for the number #1 launch position. Fifteen teams took to the water and the launch order was called while there was a spectacular heat lighting show to the south, not exactly a drag race across the lake to your favorite spots since we were restricted to idle/no wake until the 6:35am sunrise. Everyone expected the fishing to be tough due to the high temperatures but the Indy Bass Club anglers are as good as they come , all 15 teams brought fish to the scales and 9 teams had 5 fish limits with a total of 63 fish weighing 124 pounds were weighed in. Big Bass honors went to Rick Ray/Tom Nelis @ 3.37 lb. 1st Rick Ray / Tom Nelis 12.58lb 2nd Jason Smith / Brian Hollis 11.15lb 3rd Mark DeWitt/ James Kozachik 10.6lb 4th Josh Hayes / Bob Hayes 10.54lb 5th Jeff Pontius / Jim Pontius 10.17lb
