Renegade Bass Q5 Lake St. Francis
August 16th, 2014
Cornwall Ontario-August 16th, 2014: The last Renegade Bass qualifier for 2014
took place on Lake St Francis. Anglers had access to over sixty kilometers of water
along that stretch of the St Lawrence Seaway.
Many who prefished the week before faced mostly rainy conditions, but things
changed on the day of the event as it was mostly clear with only a bit of rain at
weigh-in time.
On the morning of the event, conditions were mostly cloudy and winds were
minimal. The winds picked up a bit with some gustly conditions at times during midafternoon. Teams spread throughout the body of water, with some boats reporting
that they had ran beyond South Lancaster in search of their fish.
Back at the weigh-in site at the end of the day, many teams reported that the bite
was better during the morning than in the afternoon. There were a fair amount of
big bags brought to the scales at weigh-in time with roughly a fifth of them topping
twenty pounds.
The weigh-in occured at Marina 200, located next to the Cornwall Civic Complex.
This time, the teams that dominated the top positions were mostly from Eastern
Ontario and Western Quebec. The winners, Jean-Charles Goulet and PierreHughes Lussier, managed to weigh in a total of 23.58 pounds, being roughly a
half pound more than the the highest one day weight brought to the scales when
Renegade Bass held their Classic there in 2013.
Following the event, Jean-Charles and Pierre-Hughes mentioned that their prefish
strategy was for Pierre-Hughes to look for promising deeper areas with help of his
Lowrance HDS Structure Scan Unit whereas Jean-Charles focused on shallower
areas with specific targets that held promise. In both cases, they avoided broad
areas, focusing on smaller ones and avoided those that they considered to be
community holes.
They explained that due to a cold front in the days leading up to the event, they
ultimately needed to run and gun between their deeper and shallower areas in order
to get their key bites throughout the day. They added that they used Berkley Gulp!
4 inch Crawlers on a drop shot, green pumpkin coloured tubes, Megabass Jerkbaits
and Booyah spinnerbaits to catch their fish. They explained that the use of their
Power-Poles was important in the shallows in order to be able to target specific
spots.
Their victory not only earned them $5000, but also $500 from Ranger Boats through
the Ranger Cup program.
In second place was the team of Roberto Straccini and Matt Wolfgram, two anglers
fishing together for the first time this season. Their total of 23.04 pounds earned
them a cheque for $3000. They also received two Shimano Cumara rods as they
had signed up for the Shimano Platinum Anglers program.
Rounding out the top five was the team of Mark Baker and Eric Ming with a weight
of 22.47 pounds, earning them a check for $2000. In fourth was Marc Alain and
Jacques Chopin with 22.3 pounds, which earned them a cheque for $1200. Marc
and Jacques also won $250 from Rhodes & Williams. In fifth were Steve Barnett
and Jack Levert with a weight of 22.05 pounds. They took home a cheque for
$1000.
All payouts from second through tenth place were increased for this final event
of the year courtesy of Hookset Marketing. The Lowrance/Navionics Award was
handed out to Carl Roy and Eric Clemot through a random draw. They each
received a Navionics Platinum Plus chip.
In true Lake St Francis fashion, all three of the fish that qualified for the Big Fish
prizes managed to be in the five pound range. The team of Marc Alain and Jacques
Chopin took top honors with a 5.64 pound largemouth, earning them a cheque
for $550. In a post-event interview, Marc explained that the fish was caught on a
Simmz Patriot Tube. Second Big Fish honours belonged to the team of Clancy
Mulvihill and David Craig. Their 5.42 pound bass earned them $330. Jean-Charles
Goulet and Pierre-Hughes Lussier received the $220 Third Big Fish Prize as they
brought a 5.26 pound lunker to the scales.
In other news, the team of Dave Roy and Andy Kinstler won the 2014 Team Of The
Year Race following a strong ninth place finish at this event. They beat out the
second place team in the standings by less than a pound.
