The bass on High Rock Lake are still biting and some nice fish are being caught.
At the recent FOM Fall Trail tournament on Saturday, August 7th, 18 teams took on the heat and the boat traffic and were able to bring some really nice bass to the scales.
Finishing in first was the team of Mike Sides and Kenny Seagle of Salisbury NC. They brought a 5 fish limit to the scales totaling 17.20 pounds and a kicker bass weighing #6.7 .
In second place was the team of Steve Sink and Whicker of Lexington NC with 15.64 pounds and in third was Rodney Bell and Clontz of Salisbury NC with a limit at 15.44 pounds.
In all, 18 teams brought 202.84 pounds of bass to the scales.
Most of the bass were caught on jigs and worms fishing docks and points in deeper water. The early topwater bite accounted for some good numbers, too, as some anglers reported catching bass on buzz baits.
The water temps on High rock are in the low to mid 80s and in the main part of the lake, visibility is around a foot in most areas. The river is a bit cooler at 78 degrees, but is much dingier from the recent rains.
The next Tournment will be at lake Norman on Sept 4th.By: Mike Sides / Fishers of Men
