One would have thought that the way Ross Barnett was setting up – Warmer temps, little wind, few clouds, the spawn during the “super” moon would equal huge sacks of fish….well as it often does it just didn’t turn out that way. Well that is the way it was for everyone except Larry Lowery. With an average of 3.5 lbs per fish Larry brought 17.52lbs to the scale to win by more than 6lbs! Congrats Larry…can’t wait to hear how you did it!!
Overall as a club we did pretty well in terms of number of fish. We had 10 anglers weigh limits and in total we weighed 67 fish for a total of 149.21 Lbs on Saturday. Below are the top anglers from this weekend.
Angler Division:
1st Place – Larry Lowery 17.52 Lbs
2nd Place – RB Shephard 11.48 Lbs
3rd Place – Charlie Moore 10.49 Lbs
4th Place – T.J. Hare, Sr 9.82 Lbs
5th Place – Mike Overall 9.22 Lbs
Co-angler Division:
1st Place – Randy Mills 7.02 Lbs
2nd Place – Hunter Edwards 5.36 Lbs
3rd Place – George Thrash 2.52 Lbs
Lunker honors were taken by Charlie Brown with a 4.66lb fish (right now that is the biggest fish brought to the scales this year). Congratulations to all these fishermen. And as you might expect JJ’s Dead Ringer team put the hurt on the Culprit and War Eagle teams again this tournament. (I have a feeling I will be typing that a lot this year). I will say though that the War Eagle Team showed the most improvement this tournament and came in second place while the culprits came in last (Greg – your buddy going soft on you has really hurt your team’s efforts!!!)
Upcoming Events in April
• Board of Directors Meeting at Sal and Phils Tuesday April 5th
• Point tournament on Ross Barnett Saturday April 16th.
• General Membership Meeting will be at Sal and Phils Tuesday April 19th.
As usual we have a couple of boaters whose insurance expires prior to our next tournament. I will be getting with each of you this week, please get your renewal policy to me as quickly as possible so it will not affect your eligibility for the upcoming tournament in April.
I passed out Manuals at the last General Membership Meeting; however a lot of folks were not present at the meeting. I have the extra manuals in my truck so either at the next meeting or tournament please remind me to get you a copy. Everyone needs to have a manual. I didn’t spend all that time putting those together for them to ride in my truck
Everyone seems to be taking the challenge of recruiting new members to heart and I am glad to see that! We had a prospective member at the last general membership meeting and at this past tournament. I have heard other speculation from members about other folks interested. Let’s stay on top of these folks and make sure they join. The more quality folks we have in this club the better it is for everyone. It makes the social aspect of the club as well as the competitiveness of the club that much better. Keep up the good work!
As usual if you see anything on the points or weights that is not correct please let me know. I have double and triple checked everything but that doesn’t mean I haven’t messed something up!

March 7th Newsletter - Lake Bruin Results
The 2011 JBC tournament year is off and running. Our first tournament is in the books and let me say that Bruin was much improved from last year (and it didn’t take much). Hard to believe I am typing this, but I am glad we caught Bruin on a rainy /windy day. Based on the pre-fishing reports I heard, it looks like the weather really improved the bite. We had 15 Anglers and 2 Co-Anglers show up and brave the weather. In total we weighed 51 fish for a total of 106.90 lbs. Congrats go to J.J. Wilson for bringing 15.39lbs to the scale and taking first place on the Angler side – quite impressive! Below are your top Anglers from Lake Bruin.
Angler Division:
1st Place – J.J. Wilson 15.39 Lbs
2nd Place – Greg Horne 11.82 Lbs
3rd Place – Dan Stokes 9.38 Lbs
4th Place – Carl Sandberg 8.78 Lbs
5th Place – Joel Peeler 8.07 Lbs
Co-angler Division:
1st Place – Hunter Edwards 4.29 Lbs
Lunker honors were taken by J.J. Wilson with a 4.29lb fish. Congratulations to all these fishermen. Big surprise here I am sure, but JJ’s team the Dead Ringers put it on the Culprits and War Eagles again to win the first tournament team honors. That man knows how to put together a team!!
Hunter Edwards is a new member to the JBC so please take time to introduce yourself to him and make him feel welcome. From looking above, it is obvious it didn’t take him long to settle in as he now leads the co-angler division by 15 points! (I am interested to talk with him and see how many times he hit that new power pole on Peeler’s boat)
Upcoming events
• The General Membership Meeting will be at Sal and Phils Tuesday March 15th.
• Point tournament on Ross Barnett Saturday March 19th.
We have a couple of boaters whose insurance expires prior to our next tournament. I will be getting with each of you this week, please get your renewal policy to me as quickly as possible so it will not affect your eligibility for the upcoming tournament.
Please go ahead and mark your calenders for Saturday September 10th for our annual JBC Fish Fry out at Lake Caroline. There will be more details sent out as we approach the date but this is always a good time of food and fellowship for our club.
I am planning to have the JBC Manuals ready by this next General Membership Meeting (Tuesday March 15th) so please make every effort to attend this meeting and pick up your manual. It is important to be familiar with this manual as it contains everything you need to know about the club from membership to tournament rules to the club by-laws. There are changes from year to year and it is really easy to miss something if you don’t keep up to date.
We all need to make every effort to bring in new members. We all know people who may be interested and we need both boaters and co-anglers. We still want the best members we can get, and I’m sure we can entice some new folks into the JBC with all we have to offer in the form of fun and fellowship. I have heard some speculation that there could be a couple of prospective members at the next general membership meeting so lets all be there and make them feel welcome.
As stated above, the next General Membership meeting is on Tuesday March 15th at Sal and Phils in Ridgeland. We hope to see you there.
