The 2024 Southeast Region Club/Individual Division Trail made their third stop of the 2024 season, at Toledo Bend out of Lost Frontier RV Park & Marina in Hemphill, TX on Saturday, March 23, 2024, with 71 anglers competing. Due to projected high winds at take-off time this was designated a trailering tournament. According to dock talk the pre fishing had been pretty good in the weeks leading up to the tournament, however a weather change earlier in the week had kind of made things tougher and had anglers’ confidence all over the page. At the end of the day Terry Reich with the Seven Coves Bass Club had bested the field by over a seven-pound margin. Terry brought five fish to the scales weighing in at 23.61 pounds, Terry’s bag was anchored by a beautiful Toledo Bend sow tipping the scales at 6.90, earning second big bass of the tournament. Due to the high winds Terry stated that he started close to the weigh-in and fished there until 9AM, once the winds died down, he made a move to a drain that was seven to eight foot deep with grass and fairly clear water leading to a spawning flat that was four to five deep. Terry felt like with the cooler weather that the fish may have backed off the flat and back into the drain. He targeted the drain with a Texas rigged Senko with 1/8-ounce weight pegged. He caught his five fish between 9:30AM and 12 noon. Terry gives credit to God for blessing him with a great day fishing. Terry states that he started his day with prayer and … [Continue reading]
Middlebrook and Stacy Sweep the NC Region Qualifiers on Lakes Belton and Stillhouse
The North Central Region held it’s 2024 tournament trail mid-season qualifiers on Lakes Belton and Stillhouse on March 23rd and 24th. The weekend kicked off with dollar dink day on Lake Belton.

However, when it came to keeper size fish, Lake Belton was having none of it and only produced 21 keeper size bass with an average weight of 1.04 lbs. per bass!! When the dink dust settled, Boater Malcolm Middlebrook, Centex Bass Hunters, weighed in 4 fish for 7.34 lbs. to take the top boater spot just edging out new boater Toby Tucker, Big Sandy Bass Club, who weighed a five fish limit for 7.11 pounds. On the Co-Angler side, newcomer Zac Stacy took first place weighing in a three fish limit for 4.79 lbs. anchored by a GIANT 1.85 pounder big bass of the tournament and forcing the pre-tournament odds on favorite Co-Angler Joe Sciuto out of Big Sandy Bass Club to settle for second place weighing in two fish for 2.38 pounds! On Sunday at Lake Stillhouse, despite the forecast of southerly winds sustained at 14-22 mph with gusts to 38 mph, the anglers were eager to turn the page on Belton and were hoping to move on to bigger and better fish. The start of the day saw conditions that were fairly mild as the anglers spread out across the lake, but it didn’t take long for the wind to ramp up and the stronger gusts to … [Continue reading]
