100% BASS Press Release 04/19/08 - Garrigan / Phelps Take Delta by the Narrowest of Margins Fishing on Saturday turned out to be pretty
good considering for 3 days strait the wind had blown and by noon it was howling
again. That being said, it sure didn’t slow down the fish or the anglers. When
everyone was checking in at Russo’s Marina, all they could talk about was bed
fishing and would the wind lie down and let them do it. It didn’t, but those who
figured out the flip bite, had really good days. Taking top honors this day were Brentwood’s Bob
Garrigan and Stockton’s Darren Phelps. These two Second place went to Tom Lutz of Vacaville and
Ash Twigg of Oakley. It must have been hard missing the top slot by such a small
margin, but these guys handled it like real pros.
Finishing in third place was Tony Mello and Ron
Lopes of Brentwood and Galt. These two also had a big bag of fish and missed out
by less than ½ a pound, totaling 30.16 pounds for their 5 fish. It just goes to
show how competitive this sport can be and why every fish counts. Mello said at
the weigh in, they had a completely different pattern that most, as they fished
in the windy areas of Franks Tract and used Spinnerbaits and Chatterbaits all
day, in most white or white/chartreuse. Tony wanted to thank Quantum, Sufix, Eye
Surrender and his partner for supporting their fishing. They took home
$1315 for their efforts and memories of what might have been. Congratulations to all and we hope to see many more of you at Brandon Island State Park for our next event on May 10th. 100% BASS would like to thank the fine sponsors that make the difference between fishing and the quality events we are able to provide as a result of their support.

have been fishing together for just a few years, but are starting to show
everyone they will be force to be reckoned with from now on. Their 5 fish limit
(seen right) tipped the scales at 31.60 pounds with an 8.04 Lb anchor fish. This
weight was the narrowest victory in years at 100% BASS, as they won by only 2
hundredths of a pound. During the awards, Garrigan told us they Flipped Black
and Blue Revenge Jigs all day, focusing there efforts in the back waters of the
central Delta. Tulles were the key and we had to work the baits very slow, said
Garrigan. I guess it paid off as they received two very nice plaques sponsored
by the Hook, Line, & Sinker in Oakley, and what everyone really wants, the
winner check in the amount of $4390. Congratulations to Bob and Darren for a
great day of fishing. 
Their
5 fish (seen left) of course weighed 31.58 pounds and included an 8.45 pound
kicker. Lutz said they were on the same pattern as the winners, only the focused
on the Franks Tract Area using Brown and Purple Pepper Jigs. Tom also took the
time to thank sponsor Mossdale Boats (Home of BASSCAT in Northern California)
for their support. For their hard work, they received $2155 and a pair of those
nice plaques for “The Hook”.
