I fished at ChungPyung on Sunday in the 4th KSA tournament of the year. I put the boat in on Friday night and had a good night’s rest. I fished from 6:00am until 1:00pm on Saturday to try and find a pattern for Sunday’s tournament. I caught 13 bass in total, mostly dinks like these…….
I caught most of the morning’s bass on a SureCatch Sensa-worm Neko rig in about 5 foot of water. Then a switched to a jig-head with a trick-worm and caught a few more including a couple of better sized bass. The bass in this lake/river are generally small, with a 12 incher being pretty good, so these bass around 14 inches were very welcome in my boat. They were good fighters also, put a good bend in my rod.
With a good pattern worked out I called it a day and headed back to the pension where my wife and daughter were impatiently waiting, lol.
Sunday morning, the weather was just the same as the Saturday, so I knew and hoped the bass would still be in the pattern, and I was right. After catching a couple of undersized dinks on a topwater I caught my first keeper (albeit still a dink). Here’s some of the dinks caught on different baits.
Then I moved to my main spot about 10:00am and caught my 3 biggest bass of the tournament within about 5 or 6 casts with an-all chartreuse SureCatch Sniperspin spinnerbait and a pearl Sensortail trailer worm. That was it for a while, then just before weigh-in time (1:30pm) I caught a couple more tiny bass.
With the sun and hot weather we had on Sunday, I was pumping in fresh water every few minutes to keep the bass fight fit. I weighed in my limit for 1,630g which turned out to good enough for 8th place and 100,000won ![]()
