Greers Ferry UPDATE!

After speaking with numerous people about the possible weather coming tomorrow, I took it upon myself to contact a weather person in Jonesboro. They believe that there will be storms coming through after midnight through the morning hours. Once they get through, it should be fine. I gave them a scenario for what my plan might be and they thought that it was a good plan. SO, HERE IT IS:

We are going to fish tomorrow morning from Hill Creek at 6:00. (Please be there by 5:45 or so) If we get there and it is still storming, or if there is a line of storms coming shortly, we will postpone it an hour or two (maybe all go eat breakfast or something) and then come back and fish. Be prepared to be there for 8 hours or more because if we have to postpone we may fish a little later than usual. If we get there and it storms from 6:00 through 8:30 and it looks like it is going to continue, then we can load up and come home and everybody can hate me....sorry! Again, I have been told that once it gets here and gets gone....it should be gone.

We will all fish at our own risk, but I want to try to be as safe as possible as a club. If it rains, let it rain....we won't melt. If there is lightning, we don't need to be on the water. So, be prepared to launch at 6:00 and bring your rain gear!

Good luck and I hope to see you all there!

Greers Ferry Tournament (Location and Time Change)

Due to information that I received earlier today, we are changing from Devil's Fork to Hill Creek this Saturday. We are going to try to launch at 6:00, so try to be there by 5:30 or so. There is supposed to be a large tournament going out of Devil's Fork Saturday, so I would like us to take off right at safe light if possible. Please try to spread the word of this change. We have changed the ramp and the time. It is very difficult to contact everybody when you have close to 60 members.

I will also be keeping my eye on the weather. It looks like we could have some storms coming through Friday night that could linger into Saturday. I still want to plan to fish the tournament, but we will need to proceed with caution if there is a major storm coming. Please continue to monitor this website over the next 24-48 hours. If you have any questions, please call 512-9400.

Thanks
BK

Notes

There are a few things I want to let everybody know:

#1 I want to sincerely apologize to Dewight Jackson (not Dewayne Johnson) for butchering his name on the results page for the Norfork tournament. Going forward I will try to get every name right, but I will probably just call him Ratt to keep it simple.....haha!

#2 If I ever put any kind of information on this website that is incorrect, please contact me. I can edit the post to make it correct. I am human and with a club that has 50 members it is hard to keep names and other information straight sometimes.

#3 The Greers Ferry tournament on April 24th will launch from Devils Fork unless something changes later. I think that Devils Fork is a more central place and will allow people a better opportunity to get to more spots on the lake. The launch time has not been determined yet, but I would like to go at 6:30. I have checked a different website and didn't see another tournament going off at Devils Fork on the 24th, but if you are aware of one let me know and we can move it to Hill Creek.

Let the Pre-fishing begin!

Congratulations to Rob Hill and Ratt (Dewight Jackson)!!! They were dominant with their performance at Norfork with a sack nearly weighing 15 lbs. The spotlight of their sack was a 4.12 lb largemouth that brought them the Big Bass honors. Their closest contenders were John Reed and Brad Robertson. John and Brad brought a nice 11.37 lb sack to the weigh-in on a day when many boats didn't weigh a fish. Third place went to Brad Kieffner and Billy Keedy (me). We were able to break the double digit barrier with 10.36 lbs of bass.

The rain that came through the night prior to the tournament caused the bite to be a little difficult for most. There were three limits brought in, but 10 of the 16 boats weighed 2 fish or less.

I hope to have the AOY standings updated on the website before the next tournament at Greers. Thanks to everyone again today. The tourney went very well and the participation remains consistent (we are averaging 17 boats per tournament so far).

Norfork Tourney (Jordan)

Well, it looks like the weather is warming up and hopefully the fish will bite this Saturday on Norfork. We will launch from the Jordan landing at 7:00. Please try to be there by 6:30. Also, be prepared to fish 8 hours again.

I am looking forward to having another good crowd. I have heard of numerous people that have pre-fished up there and I have had a couple call saying they are going to head that way on Saturday. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Call with any questions! (870) 512-9400
