Childers Wins Season Opener on Lake Keowee

Running out of South Cove park in Seneca South Carolina, the Townville South Carolina angler weighed in a five bass limit weighing 15.66 lbs. For his win Childers took home $3200.00.

I caught most of my fish on a jig fishing anywhere from 6-20 feet. Other baits I caught fish on were a blade runner and a shaky head said Childers.

Taking second place, Cody Hoyle of Rutherfordton, NC weighed in a five bass limit weighing 15.14 lbs. He earned $1500.00 for the effort.

I caught my fish on a custom glide bait that I paint fishing main lake points in 10-25 feet
Said Hoyle.

Steven Ricker of Greenville, SC placed third with a five bass limit weighing 14.97 lbs.
He received $1000.00 for his finish. Ricker also weighed in the biggest bass of the event with a fish that weighed 5.08lbs. He took home an additional $400.00 for his bass.

My day didn’t start out too well, by 1:00 I only had three fish. I just ran and hit as many spots as I could. I think I ended up catching seven fish and my biggest fish came on a swimbait at about 15 feet.

Finishing fourth Gregory Glouse of Liberty, SC weighed in a five bass limit weighing 14.59 lbs. and rounding out the top five, Keith Westrick of Marietta, Ga weighed in a five bass limit weighing 14.44 lbs.

At the end of the season, the best anglers from across the nation will advance to the 2024 Ray Scott Champoinship to be held at Lake Eufaula in April 2025.
