Kickoff Tournament on Lake Dardanelle
Randy Allen and Wayne Dixon Win on Lake Dardanelle
Story by Terrance Narveson
The first Get5Bass Summer Series Tournament was held Thursday night and
16 boats came out to get kicked the season kicked off. With it still getting
dark early most of the fish were caught before sun left its last light on the
horizon. Most teams struggled to get their bites during the short, three hour
event. High and dirty water also hampered the bite but a few teams
managed to pull things together and get their 5-bass limits. Here's how the
top 3 teams caught their fish:
First Place - 17.53lbs - Wayne Dixon/Randy Allen
One bank in the Ouita area produced all of Randy and Waynes' bites. Their
fish were caught on a black/blue jig shallow.
Second Place- 16.33lbs - Tray Huddleston/Spencer Grace
Tray and Spencer made a little trip up the river and caught their fish on an
array of lures around wood structure. They had a lot of bites and managed to
cull 1 fish. They actually culled the wrong fish in the dark and it cost them
1stplace. This is one mistake they will probably not make again.
Third Place - 13.68lbs - Shawn Gordon/Zach King
Three fish for 13lbs wow! They had the right bites but could not get any
more in the boat. It was a shallow bite for them as well and they
fished all over the Bayou area. A Yum 4" Lizard (Junebug) produced all
their bites for the night.
