October 24~ Falls Lake~Ledge Rock Wildlife Ramp~Results

Conditions 69 to 79 degrees. Water Dingy. Wind 15 to 30 mph. Water Temps to 73+ degrees. At Ledge Rock the weather was great up until 15 minutes before weigh-in. Then the bottom fell out! The wind blew steady all day. I don't know if it was the front coming in or just the time of year, but only 7 keepers were weighed in with 0 deceased. Bass seemed to be on channel or point dropoffs and around stump bottoms from 2 to 10 feet in depth. Plastics seemed to be the ticket for keeper bass. Only 4 out of the 11 teams weighed in. We still need some more rain but the lake level is holding steady.
