Jamie And The Bassdozer

Results

"Great fishing for bass, walleyes and stripers!" is how the first place team of Russ Bassdozer and Jamie Cyphers described the weekend action at the two one-day events held out of Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell.
Bassdozer and Cyphers didn't prefish and had not fished the Bullfrog region of Lake Powell since last spring. "Saturday afternoon, we located some open water reefs and humps offshore from some underwater points. In between were some deepwater channels where we marked lots of threadfin shad on the electronics. On Saturday, we caught plenty of walleyes, stripers, and we culled a lot of bass there Saturday, so we weren't sure if we burned out the spot on Saturday. But on Sunday morning, there were many schools of stripers, bass and walleye busting shad up against the offshore reefs, so we just fished that spot for the rest of the day. The gamefish and the shad were not going anywhere. So neither did we," says Bassdozer.

The team caught fish on Yamamoto Senkos, Yamamoto tubes, Yamamoto hula grubs and Yamamoto spinnerbaits, but their best five bass hit larger sizes of LuckyCraft ripbaits, crankbaits and topwaters. "The bigger hard baits got a reaction from the better bass," says Jamie Cyphers.
