April 19, 2011 Newsletter/Tournament 3 Results

One word describes this tournament – WIND! Nothing like pulling up to Tommy’s at 5 in the morning to white caps in the chute of Tommy’s Landing (not to mention it was 50 degrees) to get you motivated to fish all day! Kudos to the guys that braved it out and made the best of it. We all did a good job of being safe and making it back to the landing it one piece.

With the above mentioned winds combined with fishing hours after a cold front the fishing was a little tougher this go around. JJ Wilson won the Angler side with 5 fish weighing 12.14lbs. Randy Mills won the Co-Angler side with 4 fish that weighed 6.52 lbs. Congrats to these winners. Overall as a club the numbers were down in terms of total fish and weights. We only had 5 anglers weigh limits and in total we weighed 55 fish for a total of 91.97 Lbs on Saturday. Below are the top anglers from this weekend.

Angler Division:
1st Place – JJ Wilson 12.14 Lbs
2nd Place – Joel Peeler 10.31 Lbs
3rd Place – Jim Lowe 9.34 Lbs
4th Place – TJ Hare, Sr 8.46 Lbs
5th Place – Greg Horne 7.27 Lbs

Co-angler Division:
1st Place – Randy Mills 6.52 Lbs
2nd Place – Hunter Edwards 2.47 Lbs
3rd Place – George Thrash 0.95 Lbs

Lunker honors were taken by Jim Lowe with a 3.83lb fish. Congratulations to all these fishermen. And 3 tournaments in the Team race is over…JJ’s team won again, while embarrassing the Culprits and the War Eagle Team. JJ’s team had more points than the Culprits and War Eagle teams COMBINED! The race for 2nd place has begun! Congrats to the Dead Ringers for putting on a show.

Upcoming Events in April
• TONIGHT!!!! - General Membership Meeting will be at Sal and Phils Tuesday April 19th. Make an effort to be there people!!!!

Tonight we will be having a special board meeting before the general membership meeting to vote on a Mike Murphy’s application to join the club. Most of yall have met Mike as he has fished as a guest with us the last two tournaments. Pending approval of the board, the general membership will be voting on his membership tonight which is just another reason to make every attempt to be there tonight!!

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!
