Congratulations to Nicky and Fuzzy Gates! They have established themselves as the team to beat. They brought in a season high 16.75 lbs to the weigh-in and won by over 4 lbs. They also had the big bass of the day at 4.24 lbs. Marvin Ross and Raymond Bradley came in with 12.69 lbs to claim second prize. Newcomers Kenzie Houston and Brandon Cook introduced themselves to the club with nearly 10 lbs of bass to take home 3rd. It was another wonderful tournament with many fish caught. The size of the fish seemed to be good and it was great to get the Jackson County Bass Club back on the water after more than a month off.

I would like to thank everybody for participating again. I also would like to apologize for the delayed update to the site. Saturday I fell asleep and when I could have updated yesterday, my wife was on the computer doing school work (she is trying to get her Masters degree). I plan to have some pics up in the next few days.

PECKERWOOD TOURNEY and a few notes

There has been some discussion about the upcoming Peckerwood tournament. The decision has been made to fish at Peckerwood. We considered changing locations due to water conditions, but there have been some people that have pre-fished and it is only fair to keep it at that location. We will launch at 6:00 from the Red Barn landing (please try to be there a little early). If you have any questions regarding this tournament, please call me at 512-9400.

On a different note, I would like to congratulate a few members of our club. There have been three tournaments in the last month or so that our club has been represented very well. Ron Snyder and his partner (not sure who he fished with) won the Augusta Days tournament a few weeks ago (I heard with around 11 lbs). Two weekends ago Jerry Lane and Bill Wooten won the Portfest tournament with a whopping 26 pound bag of 7 fish. Calvin Ward and Jerry Burgess came in second with 18 lbs. This past weekend Nicky and Fuzzy Gates tied for big bass and won the overall Big Fat Bass Tournament at Hogue. This just lets everyone know that our club is a good club with some really good anglers. The competition is stiff and the tight standings are proving that.

See you soon!
