You gotta love spring weather, February can be one of the greatest months of the year to get out on the water. This was one for the books, After one a brutal day last month Mother Nature dialed up a beauty. Warm temps , lite wind just enough clouds made for a great day to be on the water. East Lake Toho was this months lake choice and it seems that the spawn is in full swing. There were plenty of fish to be caught but finding the big girls was the clue. 18 boats set out and the anglers caught 87 bass,17 limits, no zero’s,14 bags over 8 lbs,7 over 10 lbs,but only 1 fish over 4 pounds for a total of 172.58 lbs of fish, Pretty good showing.

After the coldest Warriors  tournament in years last month Mother Nature sent us a mild day. It was a little of everything. The morning started out cool then it turned cloudy. The sun came out and it got a little warm soon the clouds returned and it rained and got cooler again. As they say if you don’t like the weather in Florida just wait 5 minutes. Lake Kissimmee was this month lake of choice and with a warmer week the fish have started to move in. Not a lot of giants yet but most anglers found the bite pretty good. 18 boats set out and they brought in 76 bass,12 limits5 fish over 4 lbs and one over 6 lbs for a total of 172.20 lbs of bass. Not a bad day. Rounding out the money spots in 3rd was Joe Lewis & Art Hill with 15.20 lbs. Coming in 2nd was Gary Forbes fishing alone and bagging 15.26 lbs.

The big Fish went to Glen Dampier with a pig going 6.74. That fish will take over 2nd big fish of the year. Small Limit went to Cody & Dalton with 7.62 lbs congrats to all the winners.

Old Man Winter shows up with avenges,The coldest Christmas in 30 years and it hits on a Warriors weekend. The temperature at take off was a brisk 34 degrees with a north breeze that made for brutal fishing conditions but as the day went on the sun came out and made it better not good. Lake Gentry was this months lake choice and with the tough conditions on top of a challenging lake it made for a long day The fishing was still not to bad as all but 3 manage to catch something but limits and big fish were few and far between. 16 boat set out and the anglers manage to bring in 44 bass,2 limits,only 2 fish over 3 lbs, and one over 4lbs. That a rough day for this group of anglers. Rounding out the money spots in 3rd place was Tom Crawford with 3 fish that went  9.04 lbs, Coming in 2nd was Bud Morin with 9.22 lbs. Top Honors and all but wrapping up their second Angler of Year was the Red Hot Team of Dale Pitstik & Glen Dampier with a 5 bass limit going 9.32 lbs.Big Fish went to Tom Crawford with a Gentry pig going 4.50 lbs. Due to only 2 limits being weighed in today’s small limit went to Bud Morin with 9.22 lbs. Congrats to all the winners. Want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Little taste of Fall its about time. After months on upper 90′s and rain a smidgen of fall fell on a tournament day. With temps staying around the upper 80′s and a light wind it was very nice day to be on the water. Lake Cypress was this months lake of choice and the fishing seem to be improving but still not great. Most of the Warriors anglers found a few bites but as usual  some found them good. 17 boats started this day and guys caught 74 bass,14 limits,4 fish over 4 lbs, 1 over 5 lbs for a total of 143.78 lbs. Not a bad day. Rounding out the money spots we had a tie for 2nd Joe Lewis & Art Hill plus Vince Edwards & Dale Hayes with 13.94 lbs.

Would like to welcome back Steve Chivini & Scott Hair as well as a new team Dakota & William Scott good to have you guys out with us.

It was a nice break from the heat, With cloudy and breezy conditions most of the day it was a nice break from what has been a miserable hot summer fishing season. Lake Marion was this months lake of choice and with the water level up and running it was a much better day than the last time we were there. 20 boats set out and the Warrior anglers caught 49 bass,5 limits,6 fish over 4 lbs, 2 over 5 and 1 over 6. Not a bad day day but not as good as we have seen it there. Rounding out the money spots in 4th place was Matt Hinman & Keith with 11.40 lbs. 3rd went to Vince Edwards & Dale Hayes with12.12 lbs.

The third tournament of the season is in the books and it was a pretty good one. We are in the middle of summer but with a brisk wind and some clouds it was pretty comfortable for most of the day. Lake Gentry was this months lake choice and the fishing was pretty good for this lake. Normally it is all about one good bite but several anglers found some good ones with only a few not able to hook up. 19 boats set out and the Warriors guys managed 77 bass,13 limits,4 fish over 4 lbs, and 1 over 6 lbs for 138.83 lbs caught.

HOT HOT HOT,The dog days of summer are upon us, Welcome to Florida in June. 96 degrees no wind and high humidity was the recipe and it made for a scorcher on the lake. Add in rising water scattering the fish at 91 degrees and that’s about as tough as you can get. Lake Cypress was this months lake of choice and with tough conditions comes tough fishing. With 18 boats the Warriors angler manage to weigh in 49 bass,5 limits,only 1 fish over 4 lbs for a total weight of 56.99 lbs. But as they say it beats mowing grass. Rounding out the money spots in 3rd place was Billy Bauknight & Brian Deaton with 8.47 lbs. Coming in 2nd was Tane Crossley & Jake Lewis with 8.86 lbs. Top honors fishing on trolling motor only was Dale Pitstik & Glenn Dampier with 13.26 lbs. Big Fish went to Dale Pitstik with a Cypress pig going 5.34 lbs. Hoping for better fishing next month.
