Bryce Smith and Eric Shatford Win on Lake Dardanelle!!!
Story by Terrance Narveson
With a cold front moving in and a breezy evening of fishing the first Get5 Summer Series kicked off Thursday Night with Dardanelle still holding up the good bite. 17 teams showed up to battle this evening and it was the team of Bryce Smith & Eric Shatford that took the win with 17.82lbs. Here is how they got them.
1st Place - 17.82lbs - Bryce Smith/Eric Shatford
Bryce and Eric were flipping shallow grass with Beavers and the bite was light, so feeling the bite was tough but he said his Dobyns 704c rod and Lake Fork Parallelium fluorcarbon line helped to detect when a fish picked up the Beaver.
2nd Place - 15.94lbs - Tony Rankin/Jerry Watson
Tony and Jerry are not strangers to a good finish with us. They brought in another good sack throwing brushhogs in the grass. They only had 5 bites but they were quality fish.
3rd Place - 15.25lbs - Jeff Keene/Justin Keene
They ran to Piney bay and caught a few fish on lizards, spinnerbaits, and a variety of lures, but late in the evening they picked up a buzzbait and boated 5 keepers in about 5 minutes before they ran back down.
