Last Day Totals on Lake Gaston About Like Rest of Week

Jim Bauer wrapped up his final day for this trip yesterday with a total of four fish. His catch included two dinks, one bream, and this big fish of the week, which weighed in at 1-8 (see photo left). Everything came on the Whopper Plopper,.

The water temperature ranged from 80 to 81 degrees. It also was overcast and a bit breezy, with a chill in the air from the north wind.

"I was hoping for some good action, but it never happened," said Jim. "I fished toward the mouth again and called it quits after four hours at noon," adding, "I talked to a few tourney fishermen who hadn't done much either."

All in all, it was a pretty frustrating week for him, who went on to say he's thinking about reducing the number of Gaston trips next year to just one, given the lack of action he has experienced the last two years.

He pulled his boat yesterday, cleaned it up, and arrived home safely earlier today.
