Its that time of year, The cold fronts have arrived. With November comes cold fronts. Blue bird skies wind and cool weather. It also make the fish start to move and become hard to stay up with. This months lake choice was East Lake Toho. With high pressure and cold and windy start the weather seem to calm a bit mid morning. Most of the anglers reported tough fishing that seem to pick up as the morning went on. All in all a pretty nice day.

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.

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.

Warriors anglers get a break from the heat and make them pay. Normally a tournament at the end of August is nothing short of Brutal. With Hurricane brewing in the Gulf and cloudy conditions the anglers got a break and the fish showed up. East Lake Toho was this months lake of choice and the fishing was pretty good for most. 20 boats set out to tackle this lake that can at times be very tough in the summer. The Warriors anglers manage to bring in 90 bass,17 limits,12 fish over 3 lbs, 2 over 7 lbs and a 8 lb stud for a total of 199..67 lbs of fish. That’s a great day on this body of water.

Hot was the phrase of the day, It is the dog days of summer. Temperatures in the mid 90′s and lite wind is a recipe for uncomfortably. The rain did hold off though and all in all it still beats a good day at work. Lake Cypress was this months lake of choice and the fishing was pretty good for the ones that found them and pretty bad for those that did not. We had reports about 35 plus fish days and anglers that never got a bite. Just a normal July fishing day.
