March 3, 2007 - Bass Tournament at Wahweap



The first bass tournament of the year was quite successful despite some very cold temperatures. The high today was 44 degrees and it was below freezing when the bass anglers left at first light.

Some nice 3-pound smallmouth and 4-pound largemouth were caught. Bass seem to be in very good shape coming out of winter.

I do not have details on where fish were caught or what baits were used. The same guys will be headed out tomorrow to brave the weather and catch some more fish. It is a separate tourney tomorrow but there will be a prize for heaviest overall weight for two days.

At today's weigh in Ron Colby had over 13 pounds for 5 fish. The heaviest bag of fish was over 14 pounds. Big bass was just under 5 pounds. It looks promising for another great fishing year at Lake Powell.
