American Bass Angler Tournament Results

Lake Erie June 3, 2006

The day started out a little chilly with light showers. We had 15 anglers come out for this tournament. This was the second tournament for ABA District 4 on Lake Erie this year. This being our last ONE fish tournament. The sky was overcast, with intermittent showers all day long. The air temp was in the mid 60’s with light winds.

The Anglers seemed to be very excited about this tournament. I had made an announcement that Jimmy Yarborough from ABA Headquarters was doing a feature article on our Lake Erie Tournament. The article will be featured on the ABA website as well as, published in the ABA Magazine. The top 3 finishers for this tournament will be interviewed by Jimmy.

Water temperature ranged from 61 to 64 degrees…and clear. Wave action was very slight. The anglers reported they were using tubes, spinner baits and crank baits. The fish were caught at depths of 20’ and less.

Top 5 Finishers:

1st Dave Livingstone 5.14 lbs.
2nd Jim Missel 4.11 lbs.
3rd Joe Liptak 4.07 lbs.
4th James Boccacci 3.92 lbs.
5th Craig Alderman 3.78 lbs.

Our next two tournaments are on June 17th Sodus Bay and June 18th Port Bay.

Hope to see you all at our next tournament!
