Forum | UW-STEVEN'S POINT OVERTAKES LAMAR UNIVERSITY TO WIN SFA BASS TOURNAMENT

Jackson Hill Marina – Broaddus, Texas – Ninety eight collegiate anglers representing twenty four schools from seven states met at Sam Rayburn Reservoir in east Texas on December 18-19 to decide the Stephen F Austin State University (SFA) Bucketmouth Bass Tournament. The event kicked off the 2010 Boat U.S. Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship Series, which will be featured on the Versus network beginning in August of 2010. The tournament was hosted by the SFA Bass Team and sanctioned by the Association of Collegiate Anglers.

 

With finals behind them and Christmas less than a week away, these dedicated student anglers were anxious to put their bass fishing skills to the test on this legendary tournament lake. Big Sam proved to be extremely stingy however, giving up only two 5-bass limits each day while thirteen teams failed to weigh a single bass.

 

Most teams reported that bites were hard to come by during the practice period leading up to the event while others had lots of success, locating quality bass that seemingly vanished during competition. As always this time of year on Sam Rayburn, the primary pattern involved targeting bass positioned in submerged hydrilla with a variety of crankbaits.  Read more.
