The final event for the 2011 Five County Bassmasters season took place on November 19th 2011 on beautiful Kerr Lake. A cool start to the morning greeted the anglers, but the cold temps didn’t stop the fish from biting as several anglers brought a limit of largemouth to the scales.
Grabbing another late fall win on Kerr was Tim Gardner. Tim bagged a solid five fish limit worth 13.92 lbs which also included the lunker for the event at 4.94 lbs. Keying in on rocky points near the main lake, Gardner used a couple variations of crankbaits to cover both shallow and deep water searching for fish feeding on nearby shad.
Following in the second position was Ed Collier with a five fish limit tipping the scales at 13.07 lbs. Joey Worley nailed down the third spot with his five fish limit weighing 12.31 lbs. Finishing in the fourth position was Jeff Narron with five fish worth 11.76 lbs. Andy Evans rounded out the top five with yet another five fish limit giving him a total of 10.15 lbs. Another notable five-fish limit included Wayne Worley with his sixth place finish where he was able to bring 8.04 lbs to the scales while fishing in the rear of the boat, behind third place Joey Worley.
With his win and bonus points collected from the event lunker, Tim Gardner vaulted himself from third place in points into a tie with Ed Collier for Angler Of The Year awards. Congratulations to you both on your accomplishment!!!
