The 2011 Greene Boat & Motor Championship was held on
Lake Norman this past weekend with 29 teams competing for a purse totaling over
$12,000.00! We had two beautiful days of fishing with some wind added in but
that more than likely helped the bite. Lake Norman looks to be 4 to 5 foot low
but most teams reported the bass were on shallow docks with some being caught
on the creek points with crankbaits. We look forward to next year a with a few
schedule changes that will make an even better schedule for 2012.
Hank Cherry and Craig Chambers had two excellent days of
fishing on Lake Norman. So good in fact that they weighed in a bass over 5
pounds both days. Any local Norman angler knows if you do that you’re going to
be on top at the end of the tournament. Hank and Craig brought in 10 bass with
a two day total of 30.23 lbs. They also weighed in a 5.17 lb. bass to take 1st place Big Fish plus another $630.00 in BONUS $. All total they collected
$7,036.00!
Longtime Lake Norman tournament guys Louie Hull and Chuck Montgomery
brought in 10 bass weighing up at 24.05 lbs and they took 2nd place
worth $3,000.00.
Stacy Richards and Brian Triplett finished in 3rd Place with 10 bass weighing 23.39 lbs and they also weighed in a 5.16 lb bass
taking 2nd Place Big Fish. They also collected $270.00 in BONUS $.
All total they took home $1,444.00
Tiger Elton and Chris Martin took 4th with 10
bass weighing 21.90 lbs and they received $540.00.
2012 schedules will be out soon! Thanks for fishing and we
will see you next year….and bring some of your friends and you may take home a
boat load of cash!
