Greers Ferry (Hill Creek) Results

Greers Ferry (Hill Creek) Champions
Kenneth Haney and Danny Shedd
5 bass --- 12.82 lbs
------------------------------
2nd Place
Marc Keton and James Copeland
5 bass --- 12.69 lbs
------------------------------
3rd Place
Nicky Gates and Fuzzy Gates
5 fish --- 11.67 lbs
-----------------------------------
Congratulations to Kenneth Haney and Danny Shedd! Kenneth and Danny were able to fight off the other boats and weather the storm to come to the ramp with 5 nice bass that weighed 12.82 lbs. Their largest bass was just over 3 lbs. Congrats also goes to Marc Keton and James Copeland as they were narrowly beaten by Haney and Shedd. Nicky and Fuzzy Gates continued their run for the AOY points lead with a third place finish.
The weather and crowd made this tournament a little different than others, but we managed to have our largest field of the year and best results as well. We had only two boats that were unable to weigh fish, but it sounds like there were a lot of fish caught out of Greers Ferry Lake again. I plan to post pics in the next few days, and I will update the AOY standings later in the week.
-----------------------------------
Tournament Stats
18 boats
34 fishermen (2 singles)
68 fish weighed
126.34 lbs of bass
11 boats weighed 5 fish limits
4 more new club members (Total of 46)
-----------------------------------
I owe an apology to Mr. Dwight (not Dewight) Jackson since I have spelled his name wrong so many times on the website. I was informed that he just goes by "Rat"!
-----------------------------------
Thanks again for the wonderful participation. One thing that I asked everyone to do at our meeting in February was to get the word out and try to build membership. So far things are going great. The level of interest in our club is great! I have received numerous calls about our club. Many of them are just questions, but some have been wonderful ideas that have helped our tournaments. We will continue to strive to make this the best bass club that it can be. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks

Greers Ferry (Hill Creek) Tournament

Well, we have learned that next Saturday there will be a couple of other large tournaments going out of Devil's Fork and Higden. There will probably be more than 100 other tournament boats on the water, but we have decided to keep our tournament at Hill Creek and just deal with it. We are going to launch at 5:45 from Hill Creek and we will just try to beat the other boat traffic.
We considered moving to the other part of the lake as well as moving to a totally different location, but we felt that since we have already made changes to the schedule that we would just leave it how it is. There is plenty of water up there to be fished, so good luck to everybody.

Please try to be there by 5:15, so that we can launch on time. Please call with any questions(870) 512-9400. I look forward to seeing everybody there!

SCHEDULE CHANGES and Updated AOY Standings

I posted yesterday that we would be having some major changes to the schedule. We are going to move some of the sites and combine two of the tournaments due to the amount of participation we have had so far this year. We realize that some people like to fish Seven Mile and some like to fish Cache Bayou, but fishing those locations with 15 boats would be tough. The two will be combined for one tournament (like we do at Hurricane). Each boat can decide where they want to fish.

New Tournament Schedule
May 16---------------Greers Ferry Lake (Hill Creek)
June 20--------------Peckerwood
July 11---------------Barnett
August 1-------------White River North
August 15------------Hurricane (Scramble)
August 29------------Seven Mile/Cache Bayou (Combined)
September 19--------Classic (Arkansas River at LR)


UPDATED AOY STANDINGS
#1--Michael Brand/Shane Ray-----------------68.44
#2--Nicky Gates/Fuzzy Gates-----------------55.53
#3--Jerry Gates/Shawn Gates-----------------45.71
#4--Brad Kieffner/Billy Keedy-----------------32.93
#5--Bill Wooten/Jerry Lane-------------------26.07
#6--Bobby Teal/Marvin Thaxton--------------23.61
#7--Marvin Ross/Raymond Bradley-----------20.06
#8--Ron Snyder/Mike Palmer-----------------18.96
#9--Mike Warren/Billy Max Warren-----------14.12
#10-Andy Simpson/Black Anschultz------------8.03
#11-Marc Keton/Partner-----------------------8.00
#12-Rob Hill/Dewight Jackson------------------7.93
#13-Gerald Carlyle/Tom Carlyle----------------5.20
#14-Eric Jackson/Wade Jackson----------------4.77
#15-John Reed/Brad Robertson----------------3.70
#16-Kenneth Haney/Danny Shedd-------------3.10
#17-Michael Bruner/Partner-------------------2.36
#18-Kenneth Youngblood/Patner--------------2.11
#19-Calvin Ward/Partner----------------------1.93
#20-Aaron Simpson/Johnathan Davis----------1.18
#21-Matt Ward/John Morrow------------------1.12
#22-Bobby Gates/Jason Gates-----------------1.11

If you feel that there is a mistake, please contact me. I have a spreadsheet on the computer that figures all of this up for me, but that doesn't mean that the information is always correct. Keep in mind that each boat will drop its two worst tournaments on the schedule. Also, if you feel like you are out of it, remember that winning a tournament with the big bass gets you an automatic 25 points. That can get you right back in it!

MAJOR CHANGES

There are going to be some major changes to our fishing schedule due to all of the rain. I will announce those later on the website. Right now, I want everyone to know that our next tournament (May 16th---originally scheduled for Peckerwood) will now be at Greers Ferry Lake at the Hill Creek landing.

Just to let everyone know, we try to make decisions based on where the fishing conditions will be right for our tournaments. None of the dates are scheduled to change, just the locations. I will try to update the website with all of the changes in the next few days. I also plan to update the AOY standings this weekend as well.

Please let everyone know of this location change for our next tournament!
Thanks
BK
