Teams fighting it out to stay in top 20

Team Venom Lures recently finished 10th in the sixth leg of the Lowveld Bass Trail (LBT) held at Driekoppies Dam. 

The team now top the log ahead of Salmo Lures which are on 1,025 kilograms, a drift from first place, while Thermocline have narrowed the gap to the overall leaders with a sixth-place finish.

It proved to be a day of heavyweights as bags in excess of seven kilograms were required to place among the top-five teams and a mammoth over nine-kilogram bag took top honours.

Plenty of fish over the two-kilogram mark were weighed in and a lot of solid keeper fish in the region of 1,5 kilograms were being caught.

Team Get the Net took first place in trading off quantity of fish with quality. They managed to capitalise on a few key bites and put together a very respectable bag of 9,305 kilograms.

Rob Gardiner landed his new personal best bass of 4,355 kilograms which took home the big fish prize.
In total 201 fish were weighed in-between the 53 boats averaging 3,79 fish per team. An average fish weight of 1,039 kilograms was recorded which is the largest of the 2018 LBT season.

Team Keep on Fishing with their limit which secured second spot.

A total of 33 (62,26 per cent) of the teams managed a limit of bass and seven (13,21 per cent) teams blanked.

Further down on the log, teams are fighting it out to stay in the top-20 slots as only these teams will be invited to the prestigious 2018 LBT final in October.

For round seven of the 2018 tour, the LBT returns to the Lowveld mega-bass home to complete the back-to-back Driekoppies events on August 11.
