West Central Bass League - Week 13

West Central Bass League - Green Lake - Aug 24th

August 24th marked the final Wednesday night of the 2011 West Central Bass League season. We still have the TOC's for the top 10 on each night but the regular season and TOY standings are all wrapped up. We had 15 boats fishing on what started out to be a pretty windy evening but ended up being a perfect night for fishing. For the most part though the smallies didn't cooperate and the overall weights for the night were pretty low. Here are the results.

1st - Ron & Joe - 3 - 9.50 lbs
2nd - Grant & Tim - 3 - 8.96 lbs
3rd - Paul & Pete - 3 - 8.30 lbs
4th - Dean & JD - 3 - 8.28 lbs

Big Bass - Grant & Tim - 3.73 lbs

My dad and I couldn't find any real quality either and ended up just out of the money in 5th place with 3 for 7.75 lbs. We actually ended up catching quite a few fish on the night but only found 1 in the 3 lb range. We primarily fished sand and gravel flats with scattered weeds in 6-10 feet of water. Most of our fish came dragging green pumpkin tubes but towards the end of the night I was able to get several bites on the Super Spook but only 1 fish actually hooked up with the lure.

The Team of the Year standings were also decided on this night. The top 10 in the standings are invited to fish the TOC on Diamond Lake. Generally the TOY race is a tight one near the top but this year Ron & Joe had it wrapped up before the final night. There was a tie for 2nd going into the night but we just didn't get it done and slipped to 3rd in the overall standings. Here are the top 5 teams for the year.

1st - Ron & Joe - 259 points
2nd - Paul & Pete - 243 points
3rd - Andy & Mike Nitchals - 241 points
4th - Scott & Kelly - 225 points
5th - Grant & April - 217 points

West Central Bass League - Norway Lake - August 25th

We had 16 boats fishing the final Thursday night of the West Central Bass League. The fishing was pretty typical for the lake in recent years although the top weight was one of, if not the largest weight weighed on this lake. Here are the results.

1st - Paul & Pete - 3 - 13.01 lbs
2nd - Jim & John - 3 - 9.46 lbs
3rd - Andy & Mike Nitchals - 3 - 9.36 lbs
4th - Grant & Tim - 3 - 8.50 lbs

Big Bass - Paul & Pete - 5.18 lbs

I'm not going to go into any detail on how we caught our fish on this night since by luck of the draw we are returning to Norway Lake for the TOC. Hopefully that will be another successful night as well and I will give the details at that time.

For Thursday night the TOY race was extremely tight and after a little flip flopping still ended up really close with only 2 points separating the top 3 teams. As on Wednesdays the top 10 in the standings are invited to fish the TOC. Here are the top 5.

1st - Paul & Pete - 251 points
2nd - Andy & Mike Nitchals - 250 points
3rd - Ron & Joe - 249 points
4th - Dean & JD - 227 points
5th - Grant & Tim - 210 points

It was another great year for the West Central Bass League. Congratulations to everyone who was able to make the TOC on either night!
