Jen Cardinale Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 On Sunday August 7, 2011 twenty six Salt City members competed in the fourth points event of the 2011 season. The tournament anglers were met with a day of overcast skies, which produced an afternoon downpour, moderate winds, and temperatures in the low 80’s. Boater (Pro) Division: Mike Donahue placed first in the boater division weighing in 14 pounds 9 ounces. Donahue spent the entire day fishing a black and blue jig in 6 inches to 4 feet of water. Although he didn’t have any fish in the boat until after 9 am, Donahue caught about 20 fish throughout the day including his 3 pound 12 ounce division Lunker. Brian Kelly finished second weighing in 13 pounds 9 ounces. Kelly used a shallow diving crankbait over the top of and around the edges of weeds in 12 feet of water. The weeds were about 5 feet below the surface. Occasionally, he would slow down and fish a 7 inch Texas-rigged senko which contributed to one of his keepers. Steve Balyszak rounded out the Top 3, finishing third with 13 pounds even. Balyszak fished jigs in 8 to 12 feet of water. Co-Angler (Am) Division: Lenny Potts finished first in the co-angler division weighing in 13 pounds 12 ounces. Potts fished a jig in 8 feet of water until noon before moving to 12 feet of water to drop shot. Brent Lyons finished second weighing in 11 pounds 14 ounces. Lyons fished black and blue weighted senkos (Texas style) and jigs on a weed flat in 4 to 8 feet of water. Curtis Waterman finished third weighing in 11 pounds 7 ounces. Waterman fished fat, senko style worms with no weight along the break wall. Occasionally, he threw black and blue jigs. Co-Angler division Lunker went to Kim Moran, who weighed in a impressive 4 pound 10 ounce Largemouth. Moran’s tournament Lunker came out of less than 2 feet of water on a scum frog.
