Whiteford angler Ed Casey wins FLW Bass Fishing League tourney in New York
Ed Casey of Whiteford weighed a five bass limit totaling 18 pounds, 4 ounces, Saturday to win the fourth FLW Bass Fishing League Northeast Division tournament of 2016, presented by Power-Pole, held on Oneida Lake in upstate New York.
For his winning catch, Casey took home $6,009 in prize money.
Casey said he spent his day fishing mid-lake shoals that had a lot of mussels and scattered grass on them.
“The shoals were good in practice so I went back there figuring they’d still be holding fish,” Casey, who earned his second win in BFL competition, said in a news release from tournament organizer FLW. “I threw a drop-shot rig with a baby bass-colored Jackall Crosstail Shad and Dark Melon goby-colored Strike King Coffee Tubes, and had a limit in the boat by 9 a.m.”
