Fishers of Men Lake Buchanan Details

The second stop on the Fishers of Men Central Texas Trail will take us to Lake Buchanan February 23, 2008, where the spawn should be heating up, and Big Buch’s big bass will be on the minds of every team flipping, pitching and cranking this 22,000 acre lake.
Coming off a big win on Lake Travis, Mike Hastings and Flint Fisher hold the first place spot with only one point separating them from Jacky Roberts and Ken Wilkins.
In third place and the current Male/Female leaders is the team of Allen and Tammy Gass and they are only 3 points from the leaders. The race for the Male/Female Anglers of the Year has come alive after the Lake Travis Tournament with three teams in the top 10 with Earl and Leisha Loggains in 7th place and Roger and Jerral Boling in 8th place.
At the top of the Youth/Adult category are Glyn and Joseph Kennedy who are competing in their first tournament trail together, and currently in 25th place. Great job guys.
