Well, things are starting to get back to normal weatherwise bringing a large crowd to fish the PBC Qualifer #3 at 
Shearon Harris. We did get a break in the weather today, but it was still cold in the morning at 35 degrees but 
pretty nice towards days end with about 55. Wind, however, was the factor today with 5 to 15 mph then some gusts 
up to about 20. Water temps ranged from 55 to 59 depending on the area fished. Most of the 65 teams said the 
bite was pretty shallow and many of the bass were seen in 1 to 2 foot of water in the shade of the grass beds which 
means the spawn is coming soon!

      Kevin Beverly & Tyler Faggart took their first win this year with 5 bass weighing a total of 27.46 lbs. along with 
1st place TWT for a total of $2,333 in winnings. Greyson Barefoot & Aaron Johnson took 2nd place with 4 fish 
weighing 22.07 lbs. They also won the Big Fish Award (7.98 lbs.) and 2nd Place TWT for a grand total of $2,141. 
2nd Place Big Fish (7.98 lbs.) was caught by the team of Jerry Marshburn & Chuck Byrd (7.93 lbs.) netting them 
$384 in cash.
      100 fish were weighed in for a total of 355 pounds for an average of 3.56 lbs. each. There were a lot more bass 
caught that could not be weighed in because of the slot limit rule on Harris. Most of the fish were caught on 
plastics and jerk baits with a few on topwater.
      I want to thank all the anglers that participated and all our sponsors that support this trail.
     Coming up April 4th will be the Cashion Fishing Rods Spring Team Bass Mini Trail Q#3 at Shearon Harris. On 
the following weekend we have a double header, the Piedmont Bass Classics $10,000 Spring Team Bass Trail 
Qualifier #4 on April 11th At Falls Lake and the Qualifier #2 on April 12th at Jordan Lake which is the makeup 
date for the that event that was supposed to be held on March 14th.
