After a month of single-fish weigh-ins, the tides turned on Tuesday night when Jamie Maisenbacher and Scott Bree threw the gauntlet and put four in the boat. They brought a total weight of 9.87 pounds to the scales, smashing all previous event total weights by a solid three pound margin. The anglers declined commenting on their winning pattern.

Dawson Lake again proved itself to be the toughest April fishery for the BNBC. It only gave up 3 fish on Tuesday evening to the eight teams in attendance. The air was colder than the water at 47 degrees at launch.
Scott Bree, fishing solo because his partner’s junk hurt, wrapped up first place and big bass with a 1.93 pound bass, obviously caught on dynamite. In second place, again using high explosives were the on-fire team of Eckhard and Barth with a 1.81 pound bass. The last fish, and just out of the money, was brought in by Larry Russell and Randy Ferguson who opted for actual lures. It was a respectable 1.78 pounds.
Notable was Short Bus claiming to have busted off a “giant that would have went 4 pounds” due to a rookie mistake. There were the proverbial tears in his beer that night.

Ten teams took to the chilly waters of Dawson Lake in search of any sign of aquatic life. Two teams were successful in their endeavors, but combined didn’t crack the 5-pound mark.
Capturing Big Bass and first place honors were Randy Barth and Nate Eckhard with a fish weighing in at 2.36 pounds. Their luck ended there as reports of a rod and reel taking a dive off the boat filtered in. Ron Bristow and Jim Sherman took second place with a bass weighing 2.13 pounds.
There you have it; double the teams and double the fish caught compared to last week.

The members of the BNBC really can shine in these harsh conditions, and the team of Jamie Maisenbacher and Scott Bree pulled all the stops. Read the rest of this entry »
