SC Wildlife Federation 5th Annual Bass Tourney





The 5th Annual SCWF Bass Tourney was fished 6/13 on Lake Wateree out of the Clear Water Cove Marina. Twenty-nine boats went out at first light and enjoyed warm weather and good fishing until the 3 p.m. weigh in. Only artificial lures were allowed and no trolling was permitted. The top places were determined by the aggregate weight of any teams' best six fish. First Place paid $2000(sponsored by Duke Power Co.) and a trophy went to Steve Phillips for his combined weight of 20.41-pounds. Second Place and a plaque from Tri State Bass Club went to Freddie Gibbs and Joey Bramlett for their 18.48-pound weight - good for $1000. Third place earned Josh McGregor and Randall Driggers a plaque from Tri State Bass Club and $750 for their weight of 18.26-pounds of bass. The Big Fish of the tournament was 5.38-pounds, and stay tuned for a photo when SCWF forwards them. This event is a fundraiser for the programs of the S.C. Wildlife Federation and Lowcountryoutdoors.com wishes them continued success when this tournament is fished again on the same dates in 2010.
