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!
