November 30th turned out to be a tough day on Lake Egypt as strong steady winds complicated the already tough bite on the lake. Recent cold fronts and unstable weather over the week leading up to the event seemed to put the fish in an uncooperative mood. The more than brisk winds compounded the problem as it that much tougher to find fishable water with keeper fish willing to bite.

The first place team of Danny Clark and Mark Jelley both from Mulkeytown, Illinois showed why they are known as the team to beat on the lake by taking home first place honors for the second event in a row. The team used a combination of spinner baits and jigs to catch their fish. The fish were located in grass beds that were in water depths ranging from eight to twelve feet. Their five fish limit was anchored by the big bass of the day weighing 4.62lbs. The team had a total weight of 14.23lbs earning them checks totaling $1,535.00 for the day on the water. The team is sponsored by Pyramid Acres. Great Job Guys!!

The second place team of Jack Doan and Ben Doan from Desoto, Illinois had a similar approach to the day as they concentrated on grass beds in water depths of approximately ten feet. The baits of choice for the team were Competitive Edge Little Big Man spinner baits and RC lures jigs. The team brought five fish to the scales weighing 12.67lbs and cashed checks totaling $781.00 Jack and Ben are sponsored by Competitive Edge Fishing and RC Lures.

Third place went to the team of Greg Berner from Elkville, Illinois and David "Boo" Guill of Royalton, Illinois. Greg and David fished grass beds located in water depths ranging from twelve to fifteen feet of water. The team used a Lunker Lure Ultimate Rattling jig catch their fish. They received checks totaling $344.00 for the place and would like to thank the following sponsors: Lunker Lure, Jackson Hewitt, Harrison's Sport Shop, Dunn's Sporting Goods, Falcon Rods, Pyramid Acres and Triton Boats
