Congratulations to Michael Brand and Shane Ray. Going to Seven Mile paid off for them. They weighed a solid sack of over 10 lbs to win the Cache Bayou/Seven Mile tourney. Mike Warren and Dennis Ray dominated at Cache Bayou to take second place at just under 10 lbs. Their second place finish was aided by a 3.45 lb largemouth that won the big bass award. Third place was awarded to Brad Lewis and Dustin Roddy's five fish limit of just under 9 lbs. The tournament was another success with beautiful weather. The fish bit for many of the anglers, but these three boats led the way.

We are scheduled to fish this Saturday at Seven Mile and Cache Bayou. We will meet at 5:30 am at the store in Gregory. Everybody will declare there where they are going to fish and the rules will be explained at that time. We will probably try to weigh in at around 1:00 at one of the two fishing locations. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Thanks

Nicky and Fuzzy Gates took second place with 8.12 lbs. It was very tight between them and Luke Brownd and Cory Burgin.

Important Tournament Information

I am sorry for the lack of updates lately, but I have been out of town for a while and busy with a lot of other things. It is now time for me to get back to fishing! There are a couple of important things that I need to let the club know:

#1 Due to high water conditions and membership requests, our next tournament (currently scheduled for Hurricane) has been changed to the White River at Jacksonport. We will leave from the Mary Woods at 5:30 on August 15th. Please try to be there around 5:00. We will all launch from the Mary Woods and fishing any adjoining water will be acceptable as long as the club rules are followed.

#2 Congratulations to Kenneth Haney and Danny Shedd! They won the White River-North tournament last weekend with 6.95 lbs. It sounds like the tournament went pretty well with a decent crowd and numerous fish weighed. Congrats also goes to Ron Snyder and Craig Anselmi for taking second place at 6.68 lbs. and to Michael Bruner and T. Li (hope I spelled that correctly) for third at 6.53 lbs. The Big Bass was caught by John Reed and Brad Robertson (2.75 lbs).

#3 I will try to get the AOY standings updated pretty soon.

#4 I know our schedule is over after September 19th (classic), but I have considered just having random tournaments during the late fall and just wonder what people think about that. I thought we could just watch the weather and plan a tournament a few days in advance if people are interested. I know many of our members deer hunt, but quite a few don't. I personally love to fish in October and November and know that others do to. It is just a thought, so if you have any thoughts about that, please feel free to call and let me know what you think. (870-512-9400).

Thanks
