Falls Lake just keeps putting out good fish! Air temps from 66 to 90, water temps to 75+ degrees and winds from 10 to 20, gusting to 25!! 28 teams again showed up to challenge these conditions. 69 bass were weighed in totalling 235 lbs. in weight. Big fish was 8.39 lbs.! Bass were caught in shallow to 12 feet of water on everything from topwater to plastics. The fish were biting and it looks as if the spawn is over, however, a few bedding fish were still seen in the waters towards the dam.
