Cook And Cook Hold Off Strong Field To Win Summer Bass Sizzler
Father and son team of Roger and Cory Cook smacked the big ones for two nice bags of tournament fish in the Glaize to win the Bassing Bob Summer Bass Sizzler. The field of LOZ fisherman was tough, with some of the top names and teams in the area competing, Most anglers reported catching their fish in multiple patterns all over the lake. Typical August transition time, some fish being caught deep on points, some in shallow to deep brush piles, around shallow docks and in shade around laydowns. The baits reported to be catching them were 1/2oz – 3/4oz jigs, shaky heads with magnum trick worm or creature baits and texas rigged plastic worms. While I do not know for sure about quality fish on other baits, but no one mentioned top water, swim baits, spinner baits or crank baits. However, I am sure those baits were thrown as during the transition from end of summer to fall these baits will become good baits to catch-em. One team reported catching keepers on a fluke.
