Lake Hickory – November 2018
Story By: Zander Monk
Our second stop on the BASS Youth NC Western Series was held on November 17, 2018, on Lake Hickory! We hosted the event out of Wittenburg Access Ramp and had a total of 42 High School and 1 Middle School teams come out and fish! On both the HS and MS side, we had a repeat win from the same teams that won our Riley’s Cup the month before!
From Freedom HS, Daniel Brackett and Wesley Smith took home the HS win again weighing in 8.42 pounds!
From China Grove MS, Garret Christy and Jake Ross took home the MS win weighing in 5.01 pounds!
Our overall Big Fish winner came from the Spartan Bass Fishing club anglers Anthony Baverso and Nathan Smith weighing in a 5.01 largemouth!
This tournament was another great success! The field had to weather some tough conditions. We had sub-freezing temperatures when the boats were launched! On top of that, a brutal fog settled down as we were preparing to launch that resulted in a two hour fog delay. Even though the day was cut short, the anglers were all safe and continued to fish hard under reportedly tough fishing conditions. Many more limits were weighed in than previously predicted!
We want to extend a huge thank you to all sponsors and volunteers that made this event possible including but not limited to: Elevation Church, Scott Clark Toyota, Clifton Larson Allen, Favorite Fishing, Truesouth Custom Lures, Bizz Baits, and the UNCC Bass Fishing Team for all their hard work! Our next event will be January 12, 2019 held on Lake Norman and based out of Beatties Ford Access Area. See you all then!
