Brian Sorrell topped the leader board with a five-fish bag weighing 15.97 pounds.
The shoreline ranges from crowded opulent neo-castles, complete with noisy recreational craft of every shape and size, to the Uwharrie National Forest’s chestnut lined slopes, pouring right to the water’s edge and allowing wading fly fisherman to quietly stalk a finny breakfast. It’s a diverse, beautiful oasis with a little for everyone.
Not to miss this treasure, the Archdale Bass Club launched the first of two July tournaments there early this past Saturday morning (July 10). The dock talk and tackle shop reports ranged from bemoaned slim pickings to hefty bags of feisty largemouth. Our membership, with arguably some of the area’s better anglers among us, did indeed do us proud.
Great Daddy Eddie Yahya drug in a great bag of five fish weighing 12.5 pounds for third place. Big Mike Hedgecock added another strong showing to a great recent record with five fish weighing 13.09 pounds. Young Mr. Brian Sorrell topped the leader board handily with a five-fish bag weighing 15.97 pounds. “Mr. Lucky” and most experienced club member, Clayton Proctor, had big fish for the tournament with a respectable 4.92 pound bucketmouth.
The next tournament will be July 24 on our newly adopted but unofficial home waters of Randleman Regional Reservoir. The Level Cross exit off of U.S. 220 will see us open the gates of this tremendous fishing facility at 6 a.m. We’ll start the tourney as soon as we can get everyone in the water. Weigh-in will be at 2:30 p.m.
If you’ve enjoyed these articles about friends, fellowship and fishing through the pages of the Archdale-Trinity News, we would like to extend a special invitation to visit with us close to home in person. We appreciate the many kind comments we are receiving and would enjoy the chance to meet and talk, especially with the youngsters, if you can spare a minute or two, while giving you an opportunity to visit Randleman’s facility in the bargain.
In the meantime, we’ll see you on the water.
