Buckeye still producing

As I mentioned last week, Buckeye Lake has a reputation for becoming a tough place to find bass after late June. However, numbers are still good at the Tuesday night pot tournaments, although the winning weight was down this week.
Robin Cross and Chuck Davis topped a 40-angler field with five bass that weighed 5.85 pounds, while Rod Stufflebean and Ty Nauer were a close second with four bass that weighed 5.27 pounds. Nipping on their heels on third were Kevin Sharrock and Ryan Miskell with five fish that weighed 5.19 pounds.
Mike Watson and Charlie Cray took fourth with four bass that weighed 4.9 pounds and Skip Yates and Jim Watson finished fifth with three fish that weighed 4.48 pounds. Yates and Waton also took big bass honors with a 2.68-pound fish.
Out of the 40 anglers fishing, 14 teams had a total of 4 bass. I don't know the number of "teams" fishing, because an angler can fish these tournaments alone.
Robin is excited about the number of anglers still showing up for these tournaments. I don't have any numbers to compare them to, but they may be as good or better than most pot tournaments in the area.
