Striped bass tournament was held in Troy on Saturday, May 15th. Unfortunately I was out of town on the day, and I could watch or participate the tourney. I saw
an article about it on Troy Record: because it was windy, results were disappointing. Here is a list of winners:
1st place Robert Hicks
- 17.88 pound, 33 and ¾ inches
- a 3 oz jig on a 10 foot rod (I saw many using this tactic near the Troy dam. I have not seen anyone catching striper in this way, but clearly it works. Casting 3 oz jig is a back-breaking job though)
- from the shore at at 8 a.m
2nd place Brian Atchinson
3rd place Beth Dare (first ever female ranked in the competition)
- 16.22 pounds, 33.5 inches
No 20 pounders this year. Last year, the tourney was held early May. They may need schedule it back to earlier time next year.
