We have reached the half way mark, With the completion of October tournament the season is half over. Its been a great year so far. We have had 4 fish over 8 pounds weighed in so far. Dale & Glenn continue to hold a good lead for the angler of the year but the 7 teams are only 10 points apart so it is setting up to be a race to the finish line. Lets hope the second half is a much fun as the first. West lake Toho was this months lake choice and the fishing was pretty tough. Although most of the teams mange to catch a few the numbers were down a bit for this fishery. We had 17 boats that manage to catch 72 bass,10 limits,5 fish over 4 lbs, 2 over 6 lbs and 1 over 8 for a total of 143.21 lbs of fish. Not what this lake is known for but not as bad as Marion. Rounding out the money spots coming in 3rd was Lee Barbee fishing alone with 12.80 lbs. Coming in 2nd was Brandon Blondeel with 13.56 lbs. Top honors went to Cody Hayes & Austin with 14.14 lbs.

Congrates to all the winners.

What a crazy tournament, The first tournament of fall end up being a crazy event. After drawing out lake Gentry and determining the ramp and dock would not allow the club to safely launch we were forced to go to the alternate. Lake Marion was the alternate choice chosen so off we went. The weather was good, water level was up the ditches were running so everything was in place for a great event. Someone forgot to tell the fish. It seemed as there were three tournaments going on. Some  teams caught them good, some caught enough to get points and the rest really struggled. All came down to if you stopped on them or not.25 boats set out and the club managed to catch 46 bass,5 limits,4 fish over 5 lbs,1 over 6 lbs, for a total of 122 lbs of fish. That’s pretty slim pic-ken’s for this group of anglers. Rounding out the money spots in 5th was Billy Myers & Barry Norton with 9.78 lbs. 4th went to Billy Bauknight & Brian Deaton with 13.18 lbs. Coming in 3rd was Vince Edwards & Dale Hayes with13.46 lbs. They were this months anglers of the month so they picked up a extra $30. 2nd went to Dale Pitstik & Glen Dampier with 16.60 lbs.
