Pan O Prog

[Fish6095]

I was just wondering if anyone here is going to be in the Pan O Prog bass tournament this weekend on lake Marion? I'll be there in a dark colored Nitro so stop by and say hi.

[HellaBass]

I am fishing it, 2nd year. I will be the guy with 25lbs!! J/K, but maybe. I have a 19ft Aries fiberglass bass boat.

Fish6095,

How did you do?

[Fish6095]

I did absolutley terrible. Some how my partner and I managed to zero. We fished everywhere and tried everything we own and just couldnt buy a bite. But it was still fun. How did you end up doing?

[HellaBass]

We took 3rd & Big Bass

HellaBass,

What ended up being the winning weight? I was planning on getting down to the weigh in, but I had a small club tournament that day and didn't make it.

I know if you can find them deep out there you can do pretty well. Do you know if they were caught deep or shallow? Thanks.

[HellaBass]

I think the winning weight was 6 fish 22.8#, 2nd was 22# and we had 20.85 and big fish of 4.87. I believe the top weight was shallow and 2nd was deep. We fished deep as well.

Nice Job hellabass! Thats a solid weight. Thanks for the reply as well.

[HellaBass]

Thanks Bob,

5th last year, 3rd this year, going for the win in 2007!

Hi,

I've never heard of this tourney, where is Lake Marion? Is it the one by Lakeville?

Thanks,

Ole

[OnTheWater]

yea, in lakeville; right off of 35. If you plan on going, get there early, before you get swarmed by skiers and boarders. My buddy was out there at 6:30 AM the other day, and said there were already some clowns gettin an early adrenaline rush. It can get upright ridiculous at times.

[Ole the Guide]

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like there are some nice 'pigs' in that lake! I'll wait till the fall after everyone goes back to school.

I fish that tournament this year we had a solid 4.25lbs ave. prefishing. To find out that 4 different boats went there on fri at the spot and each boat pulled couple each at the 4 to 4.5 lb range., and on sat. the best we could do there was put a 3lb ave together. I'll never unserstand why people pull fish the day before the tournament. I feel better now.

[HellaBass]

There is plenty of pigs in Marion, but it is not the easiest lake to pry them out of. It can be very unforgiving at times

[rippinlips]

prying them out would not be so hard if they were not sore mouthed.

[HellaBass]

Very True!

[rippinlips]

hella did you see about the thursday night reply.

[rippinlips]

hella nice job on sat. we were the boat that you sat down next right away in the morning. you made the right choice by getting out of there after awhile because the big fish never showed up. We hoped real hard that they would, we lived or died there and we died with 15lbs.
