01/02/21 Bull Shoals
The chaotic nature of weather conditions during the 2020 season overflowed into the 2021 Joe Bass Team Trail Bull Shoals season as temperatures in the days leading up to the mid-season event ranged from mild temps in the 50’s to a few frigid nights dancing around the freezing point. A front that brought a mix of winter weather was followed by more of the same on tournament day which set the stage for a challenging event for the 19 teams that assembled at Buck Creek Marina.
Taking top honors was the stout local team of Jason Davidson and Darren Tilley. Their best five bass pushed the scales to 18.88 pounds, giving them a slim margin over second place. Jason and Darren sorted through 18 keepers, anchored by the second big bass of the day, a toad 5.54 pound largemouth. They noted their Sport Boats USA Key to Success centered on a strong afternoon A-Rig bite on deeper locations.
Happy to see all of the Joe Bass anglers back. Special welcome to 4 time Bass master classic winner Rick and River Clunn.
Jason Davidson and Darren Tilley rounded out the top three with a strong 15.84 pound bag. They worked several of their honey holes to find their fish, which they caught on crankbaits on secondary points.
Matt Brown teamed with Blake Curtis to wrap up second place accolades. The pair weighed a five fish limit for 16.41 pounds to take the runner up position. They reported catching 7-8 keepers on spinnerbaits and Rock Crawlers fished in flat pockets.
