[b]Rob's 2nd Place Winner bag of 3 Bass going 5.58bs:
Summary: STONE TAVERN Lake was pretty tough for most anglers . I for one caught 1 dink all day long with smaller nibbles in between. Some anglers reported early limits but upsizing them became difficult. Out of 14 Anglers, there were only 22 Bass caught....giving way to 35.10lbs . The avg. weight was 1,60lbs. per Bass.
Stone Tavern normally produces multiple 3~4+lber Bass. Today was not as fun as typically, however one makes lemonade out of Lemons.
Overall.... 4 anglers caught there 3 Bass Limit. 11 out of 14 caught at least 1 Bass.
Congrats to Jackson Fu, Rob Masterspn, Carlos Jimenz, and Mike Del Monico on your perforrmances.
