Highlights from Saguaro Lake, July 15

Saguaro was another good MWBA showing for a summer day: 27 boats; 54 anglers; and 81 bass weighed in (79 alive) — 6 weighed more than 5 lb! Not bad for an event that ended at 1100, to save fish and anglers from excessive irradiation. The three-fish limit was also in place, again to benefit the fish.

Nick Teschler and Rick Knight took 1st Place, with 15.76 lb for $584. They also took 1st Place Big Fish for $338 and 1st Place Side Pot for $560. Nick’s Bass Bites report outlined their strategy and success. A 1st Place Big Fish of 7.66 lb anchored their limit.

Mike Bidak & Rockey Coffey took 2nd Place with 14.84 lb for $378 and, with Rocky’s dandy 9.75-lber, took the 5-lber Pot for $560. They also won 2nd Place in the Side Pot for $340.

Joe Michels & Bart Bohlen took 3rd Place with 14.38 lb for $222, 2nd Place Big Fish for $226 and 3rd Place Side Pot for $220. Joe, as always, wrote a great report.

Vu Au & Bob Bereiter took 4th Place with 12.08 lb for $170. Bob caught a 6-lber that anchored his usual informative Bass Bites report. Bob said, "The fish had shoulders!" It was caught on a Berkley Maxscent Worm.
