JOHNNY AND JOLYNE GEORGE TAKE THE WIN ON LAKE CONROE!!
Stowaway Marina on Lake Conroe was the host for C.A.S.T. Southeast second event of the season. C.A.S.T. anglers were greeted with muddy and off colored water from recent rain runoff. With the full moon overhead and temperatures rising it made an interesting tournament with BIG BASS starting to move up in the shallows.
Johnny and Jolyne George took the WIN with a five fish limit that weighed a total of 23.32 pounds. Johnny and Jolyne targeted mid-lake areas in 2 - 3ft. of water around boat docks. Water temp was between 60-62 degrees. Their go to bait was Texas Rigged watermelon-red lizards. Congratulations to this great couple. They always seems to put it together to have a great day.
Second place went to Larry and Carol McMinimy with a total weight of 22.84 pounds. Larry and Carol went to their favorite Lake Conroe "honey hole" to catch their limit of five fish. Larry and Carol used chatterbaits and baby brushhogs to catch their limit. Larry lost a couple of four pounders at the boat and Carol hooked into a 25 pound catfish that they both thought was BIG BASS of the day. One of Larry and Carol's bass weighed in at 6.59 pounds. This was their best five fish limit since 1995 in C.A.S.T.
Third place went to Nick and Sharon Albus with a five fish limit of 21.34 pounds. Nick targeted mid lake areas to catch his five fish limit. Their biggest fish weighed in at 7.47 pounds.
Our Big Bass honors went to Russell Glenweinkel and his daughter Allyson Glenweinkel. Their BIG BASS weighed in at 7.95 pounds and it took both of these partners to land the fish. Russell said Allyson was so excited to see the big fish. Congratulation to these two for landing such a great bass.
Many of our C.A.S.T. anglers utilized their Just Keepers weigh in bag from www.duncanbags.com to bring their hefty fish to the scales. We also seen some of our anglers riding away in the morning with the Save Phace masks on. If you have not had a chance to try one of these masks it is a great investment on them cold, rainy mornings and even work well to block the wind when flying across the lake.
