Congratulations to Nicky and Fuzzy Gates! Each boat that entered the tournament brought fish to the scales, but Nicky and Fuzzy had the best bag of all! Their 4.82 lb largemouth helped them win the tournament by nearly 2 1/2 pounds. Congratulations also goes to the newcomers of the club Ron Snyder and Mike Palmer. They brought 5 bass in that totaled 8.96 lbs. Jerry and Shawn Gates continue to show consistency by placing third at 8.09 lbs.

It was a very successful tournament with the wind blowing and the fish biting. It sounds like there were a ton of small fish caught, but each boat was able to bring at least one keeper to the weigh-in. I plan to post pictures and update the AOY standings in the next couple of days.

------------------------------

17 boats (average of 15 boats per tourney through the first four)

34 fishermen

Thanks everybody for participating again, and I look forward to seeing everybody at Peckerwood in May.

CHANGE OF PLANS

Due to information I have received about a big tournament at Devil's Fork, we are going to change where we will put in for the Greers Ferry tournament this Saturday. We will now put in at the same place we did last year. It is the old Hwy 25 road that runs into the lake at Tumbling Shoals. We will begin fishing at 6:30, so please be there by 6:00. Also, please pass this information on to as many members as you can, so everybody will know. I am sorry for having to change, but we felt like it would be better to get away from that traffic, so maybe the fishing won't be so crowded and everybody will have a place to park!

Please call me if you have any questions (512-9400).

Thanks a lot!

Greers Ferry Tourney

It is about time to go fishing again! The weather forecast looks great. It should be around 80 degrees and breezy. We are going to put in at Devil's Fork (Steep Landing). We will begin fishing at 6:30 a.m., so please try to be there by 6:00. It has been decided to start at 6:30 because we could very likely be fishing 8 hours again and this would put us home a little earlier. Plus, there should be plenty of light for safe boating.

The AOY standings are getting a little tighter. So far Michael Brand and Shane Coe are still leading and Jerry and Shawn Gates are sitting in second place. I will update the standings on the website after the tournament at Greers.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
