4/17/21: Stormy Day at Palestine
The BASS Nation SE Texas Region held its 4th event of the season on Lake Palestine. The weather and a few other tournament trails on the lake made it a challenging day. Due to location and weather it was deemed a trailering event. The high winds and rain limited where anglers went and on top of that a crowded lake caused a lot of pressure on the fish in some areas.
1st Place overall honors and also 1st Big Bass went to Derrick Shoffit with the Nacogdoches Bass Club with a total weight of 17.88 lbs. His big fish went 6.48 lbs. Second and third big bass were 6.46 and 6.43 respectively. Tight race at the top. Derrick worked the dam area all most of the day throwing crankbaits and weightless senkos.
2nd Place overall honors went to Bill Huskins with The Bass Club with a total weight of 17.72 lbs. Bill caught 3 out of the five fish sight fishing on beds 1st thing in the morning in Saline. Targeted docks and reeds in Saline, caught 2 more keepers doing that. Finished my day in Ledbetter targeting small open pockets in reeds and caught that 6 lber to cull my small line burner. Caught his bigger fish on a weightless caffeine shad.
