Bradford Beavers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 27, 2019  by FLW Communications<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUMMERTON, S.C. \u2013 Pro Bradford Beavers of Summerville, South Carolina<\/a>, caught a five-bass limit weighing 23 pounds, 7 ounces, to win the weather-shortened Costa FLW Series on Santee Cooper Lakes presented by Power-Pole<\/a>. The tournament was shortened from three days to two after competition was cancelled Friday due to high winds. Bradford\u2019s two-day total of 10 bass weighing 54 pounds, 9 ounces, was enough to earn him the victory at the Southeastern Division finale and $93,700, including a new Ranger Z518L boat with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo win on my home lake is quite an accomplishment,\u201d said Beavers, who won the Costa FLW Series Championship on Kentucky Lake in 2017. \u201cI know how good the anglers are here, and it\u2019s a little redemption for the 2014 [FLW Series] event here. I started that final day in second place, but zeroed and ended up finishing ninth. That\u2019s been on my mind for years, so this is great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beavers said he started out fishing on Lake Moultrie each day, targeting shallow cypress trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started at the best cypress trees I knew of, where the bass were either spawning or coming off the bank,\u201d said Beavers. \u201cI had four areas of trees that I fished there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beavers said that he headed to Lake Marion around 1 p.m. each day, running pretty much ran the same pattern in two general areas, but with one small adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI fished even shallower trees on Lake Marion because I felt more [bass] were truly spawning on the upper lake versus Lake Moultrie, so I\u2019d hit trees more in the pocket rather than out in the open,\u201d said Beavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South Carolina pro said he caught seven keepers Thursday and added another nine today. He weighed nearly every fish from a wacky- or Texas-rigged, 5-inch green-pumpkin Yamamoto Senko. One keeper each day came on an Eye Strike Texas Eye jighead with a 3.3-inch shad-colored Keitech swimbait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Eye Strike is like a wobble head with an eye protruding from it. I\u2019d throw it the first 30 minutes because I felt there was a shad spawn going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
