TUG VALLEY BASS ANGLERS

"Tug Valley Bass Anglers Dewey Lake Tournament

Presented by Borders Sporting Goods"

On September 18th the Tug Valley Bass Anglers held its seventh tournament of the 2011 season on Dewey Lake in Floyd County Kentucky. 25 anglers competed in the event.

Dewey Lake had been up about 2 feet a week before the tournament, but on the day of the event it was at normal pool with stained water conditions on most of the lake, getting heavily stained the

further up the lake you went.

Weather for the tournament was perfect with partly cloudy skies and light winds with an air

temperature in the mid 70's.

September fishing is notoriously tough. This time of year the fish are transitioning to their fall

locations and they are hard to locate and pattern. The fish were scattered, but most of them seemed to still be on the main lake and were from 1 to 8 feet deep.

The main pattern for this tournament was to fish top water in the morning then when the sun got bright fish crankbaits, spinnerbaits and soft plastics tight to cover.

The top finishers are as follows.

1st --Brandon Staten--- (2 fish) 6.33 lbs.

2nd --Kevin Runyon --- (2 fish) 5.97 lbs. Big Fish - 4.51 lbs

3rd--Brad May--- (1 fish) 2.69 lbs.

4th --Jason May--- (1 fish) 2.46 lbs.

5th --Michael Salyer --- (1 fish) 1.94 lbs.

6th--Johnny Webb --- (1 fish) 1.74 lbs.

7th--Joe Collins --- (1 fish) 1.63 lbs.

8th --Gary Varney --- (5 fish) 1.52 lbs.
