Sonora Bass Anglers fished the third tournament of the year this past weekend at New Melones. The recent winter storms have helped bring water levels up, but the lake is still far below normal.
Rising water levels and warm weather made for a beautiful day and good fishing. There were 21 teams that fished, and all but one brought a limit to weigh in. The team short of the five fish limit was still able to bring in four keepers.
Buddies Jason Wood and Brian Anderson topped the field with a total weight of 13.12 lbs. Second place was Dave Lingo and nephew Josh Lingo with a total weight of 12.27 lbs. Josh received Big Fish Honors by hauling in the biggest fish of the day, weighing 5.05 lbs. (photo attached) Third place went to buddies Mike Taylor and Robbie Vann with a total weight of 12.05 lbs. Husband and wife team Randy and Tami Sheppard came in fourth with 11.56 lbs. Finishing out the top five was husband and wife team Dave and Carol Krawchuk with a total weight of 11.52 lbs.
Next tournament is April 11th at the California Delta, Stockton. You can follow Sonora Bass Anglers on Facebook at www.facebook.com/SonoraBassAnglers for tips, full tournament results and photos.
