55 boats fished the Greers Ferry Lake Bassmasters Tournament Saturday and they found the fishing to be extremely tough following the FLW Series Eastern Division tournament. With about a third of the field bringing in a limit the ones that figured out how to catch them did exceptionally good. There were not many places that the pros left untouched, so executing on every bite was key. Here is how they caught their fish.
First Place Carl Davis/Royce Davis - 16.90lbs Their bite was slow and they only caught the 5 they weighed in today. Their first fish came on a trick worm early and their big fish came on a Carolina rig around 10:30. The rest of their fish came within two hours of weigh-in and they were caught on Carolina rigs as well.
2nd place: Chris Bates and Chris Isom
Second Place Chris Bates/Chris Isom - 16.21lbs They concentrated their efforts off shore throwing Carolina rigs. They even got to fish alongside Larry Nixon and his entourage a few times during the day.
Third place: Charles Holloway/Scott Latimer
Third Place Charles Holloway/Scott Latimer - 14.93lbs They literally camped out at the camp grounds around the marina all day just going back and forth changing baits and they caught fish all day long. They caught 14 keepers for the day.
