Burroughs wins fishing tournament
Boater Jason Burroughs of Hodges, brought five bass to the scale Saturday weighing 16 pounds to win $3,572 and the T-H Marine FLW Bass Fishing League (BFL) Savannah River Division tournament on Lake Hartwell.
“I caught them targeting the blueback herring spawn,” said Burroughs, who earned his third career victory on Lake Hartwell in BFL competition. “It’s the very, very tail end of their spawn. The bite was extremely good in April, but it’s gotten tough. There’s only a few of us trying to do it and its fading fast.”
