Kemp finds honey hole for Dardanelle victory
 ATHENS, Ala. – Cody Kemp found a secret spot to win the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Weekend Series, operated by American Bass Anglers, Arkansas Division 12 tournament, held May 12, 2012, on Lake Dardanelle.
Running out of Dardanelle State Park Marina near Russellville, the 26-year-old Donaldson, Ark., angler brought in five keepers weighing 17.70 pounds with a 4.24-pound kicker. He actually landed 15 bass.
“I didn’t get any practice time,” Kemp lamented. “I fished some areas close to deep water that always hold big fish. The area holds a lot of big gizzard shad. The bass were keying on those shad. I don’t think that place gets a lot of pressure. I fished the outside of the grass with a walking bait or a frog on an 8-foot flipping stick with 80-pound Power Pro line.”

Jay Carter Takes Win On Stockton
 American Bass Anglers Division 126 held a qualifying tournament on Stockton Lake May 12, 2012. Air temperatures were 60-70˚ with very light wind, which switched to the north at the end of the afternoon. Water temperatures were mid 70’s. There was some overcast and rain had been forecast, but did not happen until after tournament hours.
Almost half of the field of anglers brought in a five fish limit. However, finding the bigger fish was the key to winning. Willard angler, Jay Carter took the win with a weight of 12.10 pounds. Carter reported catching a limit of fish early on top water, then upgrading his weight ounces at a time. He mainly worked the mid-lake area flipping spawning pockets when the top water bite was over. The win earned Carter $488. Carter’s personal sponsors include Bass Cat Boats, Mercury, Lews, Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock and Poor Boys Custom Jigs.
