Due to current water level issues at Peckerwood and the wonderful results at Lake Conway, and after consulting with numerous club members, I have made the "executive decision" to change the location of the May 14th tournament from Peckerwood to Lake Conway again. On May 14th we will go out of Palarm Creek Landing again and hope the club slaughters the bass like what occurred earlier today. We have an open date at the end of the season, so we will consider Peckerwood for that tournament.
Please try to spread the word that the May 14 location has changed to Lake Conway. If you have any questions, please give me a call. If you have complaints about this, please contact Nicky Gates and obviously you weren't at today's weigh-in.

Congratulations to Aaron and Josh! On a day with many fish caught, they caught the right fish. A very nice sack of bass that weighed 15.77 lbs. Welcome back to the club guys! Second place went to Marvin Ross and Raymond Bradley. They got their 2011 season on track with a 13.90 lb bag of largemouth. Third went to Brad Lewis and Dustin Roddy. Their third place finish has put them right in the running for AOY. They are currently in second place in the standings. Fourth place belonged to Chris Clark and Mark Watson. Their bag was just big enough to hold off numerous boats that had double digit bags as well.
Nobody got lost too bad (Nicky), the scales worked, we didn't get too wet (except Jordan Walker when he fell in), and a whole lot of fish were brought to the weigh-in. It was a wonderful tournament and I think we all look forward to doing it again!

Conway---Thursday UPDATE
From what I understand, there were some people from our club that fished at Conway yesterday. It sounds like we might have to take a different route to get there, but that will be fine. I have been told that if you turn left on Hwy 107 right when you get to the Vilonia School there is a way to get there easily.
I will try to update again tomorrow, but I feel pretty confident in saying that we are fishing Saturday. Let me know if you hear anything crazy or helpful!
Thanks

Lake Conway Update
I just want to let everybody know that the Lake Conway tournament scheduled for this Saturday is currently still ON! We have somebody monitoring the water level there and it seems like we should be fine. If that changes for some reason, I will update the website. Please check the website periodically over the next couple of days for any changes.
As of right now, the plan is to fish out of Palarm Creek Landing. We will leave out at 6:30 and probably weigh-in at 3:00. This will allow 8 hours of fishing and 30 minutes to motor (SLOWLY) to and from where you are going to fish. It looks like the next couple of days are going to bring dry weather, so hopefully that will allow the lake level to drop a little more and everything will be fine. Again, we are still scheduled to fish and unless something drastic changes, I don't see that changing. PLEASE STAY TUNED!
Call with any questions.

Brad and Larry Lewis
5 bass---8.38 lbs
-----------------------------------
2nd Place
Kenneth Haney
4 bass---8.16 lbs
-----------------------------------
3rd Place
Jordan and Jerry Walker
3 bass---7.16 lbs
Big Bass---3.51 lbs
-----------------------------------
4th Place
Greg Latting
5 bass---6.84 lbs
-----------------------------------
Congratulations to Brad and Larry Lewis!!! They overcame the tough bite and windy conditions to bring 8.38lbs of bass to the (jacked up) scales. Their majority smallmouth sack squeaked by for the win. Second place went to Kenneth Haney. He caught 4 largemouth that weighed 8.16 lbs to put him in the top 4 for the second straight tournament. Third went to Jordan and Jerry Walker. They followed up their previous Greers Ferry 2nd place finish with a 3rd place finish that was aided by the days big bass of 3.51lbs. Newcomer Greg Latting had a good opening appearance with a limit of bass that weighed 6.84 lbs to finish 4th. Welcome to the club! I want to apologize for the delay with the scales. We couldn't get it to convert from kgs to lbs, so we had to manually compute the difference. In the end, it didn't matter because we got the correct weights, but I hate that everybody had to wait. Thanks to Rob Hill and Mike Warren for trying to help figure it out. We have now figured out how to get it to work and should get them weighed in a timely manner from now on!

Greers Ferry #2
We will launch from Devils Fork this Saturday morning for our third tournament of the season and our second on Greers Ferry. We will leave the ramp at 6:30, so please try to have your boat on the water by 6:15. I still hope to have the pictures from the last tournament loaded soon, but we have had some technical difficulties. Spread the word that we are fishing Saturday and it is supposed to be a beautiful 85 degrees! I hope to see 20+ boats again! BK
