Yadkin River Crappie Trail Feb 2023 High Rock Lake Tournament

Despite some tough wind and an incoming cold front, the 26 teams competing in the Yadkin River Crappie Trail's winter visit to High Rock Lake came to the scales with some very nice fish. This is one of the finest tournament trails on the Yadkin River Chain, making stops at lakes all up and down the river. This season's last stop at High Rock was in the fall. The winning team of TC Lloyd and Justin Steen brought in 14.16lbs and also had the big fish weighing 2.32lbs. That's impressive. Below are the results and pics from the weigh in and winners.

The Yadkin Mastercatters is a fishing tournament trail held on various lakes along the Yadkin River chain. This tournament was part of the 2022/23 Fall/Winter series and followed a previous tournament held in September of 2022 on High Rock Lake. (scroll down for pics from this one) Even though the weather was not bad for January, a fifteen degree cooler temperature swing in two days made the bite tough.
