Bob and Drew Dawson Win the R&H Winter Bass-O-Thon
Tournament on Norfork Lake
Drew and Bob Dawson Win on Norfork Lake!!!
The 3rd event of the 2009-2010 season of the R&H marine Winter
Bass-O-Thon was held out of Panther Bay January 2nd and 44 teams faced
a brutal cold day of fishing with highs reaching 28 and a 13 degree take off.
The lake has came up 2 feet to settle in at 7' above power pool and surface
temps dropping to 42 in the creeks and river with plenty of stain. Main lake
temps were steady at 48 degree's and the COE has stopped pulling water to
prevent excessive flooding in the southern part of the state. The buck brush
still lines the banks and the fishing has turned tough for most.
The Father/Son team of Bob and Drew Dawson win with 5 bass @ 15.95.
The team reported catching their big smallmouth early on jerkbait and
finished their stringer with 4 nice blacks taken on wiggle warts. They took
home $1,360 and Jewel baits tackle pack.
2nd place Team of Waco Johnson and Fred Hale with 5@ 15.30 taking home
$840. The team caught their fish deep on jigs and gitzits.
3rd place Jerry Coleman and Rick O'Neale with 5@ 15.24 taking home
$630. They reported catching around 3 limits using jigs on steep banks.
Big Bass Honors went to the team of Vince Kuistek and Rory Preis the
5.37lb Largemouth was taken on a 3/8 oz. jig in 20' of water. They took
home $420 for their big bite.
