Well folks it was another tough day out there dealing with the dinks. We caught at least a dozen or more bass today but only had three to bring in to the scales. Two under and one over is the best we could do. We had a lot of rain over the past couple days plus a front came through Friday night making the temps fall some Sat then a lot today. Went from being in the 80's at day break to 58 degrees this morning. Had to put sleeves and long paints on for this blast off. Once the sun came up she heated up fast but the big fish still did not bite much at all. Big fish for the day was 3.14 lbs. We came in 6th place with 6.0 lbs. Even though we did not win we still moved ahead four more pounds in the year standings. We are now 16 lbs ahead leading this pack. If we can stay consistent like this I feel we have a shot at holding first place for the year.

Best part about this tournament today was the team that won first place & big fish pot has never won anything in our club tournaments since they started with us from the beginning of last year. Hats off to Chris & Derrick for hanging in there with us to Git-R-Done. They are now hooked in this tournament game for life. They also won 2nd place in the rat tournament last weekend to be their first time ever winning any money in all three different tournaments we hold.

Congrats to all these guys that won today.

1st Place & BF Pot: Chris & Derrick, Hats off to you guys for pulling this one off. Its been a long time coming for ya no doubt.
 
2nd Place: Jerry & Scott, Jerry has been out of service for the last month with health problems and had an operation as well. Glad to have him back with us.

3rd Place: Greg & Charlie, Here is a visiting team that has only fished this river once in their life and that was last weekend in the rat tournament. WTG Guys on taking 3rd place winnings home fishing unknown water.

Now we have to wait two weeks before the next club tournament being held on that sorry no count Jordan Lake. Yippee I can't wait... Oh yeah we have the You The Man on Jordan next sunday as well.    Maybe I will get lucky and find a keeper over 16" to bring into these next two tournaments. Jordan is slam full of 14" to 15" fish but they refuse to lower the size limit for some ungodly reason.

Well folks here is the lay down on Today's Tournament. It  more less started out as a dink day for everyone, 10 boats out of 18 had a fish or two to bring in. Cookie and I was one of those teams to have two keeper fish. Congrats to Josh & Donny on first place with 10.4 lbs. This was their first win for the year. Second place to Randy & Steve with 7.15 lbs and Third place to Cookie & I with 7.3 lbs. Congrats to Jevon & Waylon on big fish pot for the day weighing 4.8 lbs. This is another team that has not won anything this year until today. Hats off to both teams for stepping up to show everyone that it can happen at any given tournament so never give up hope. Cookie & I would of had second place but my BF was gutted very deep and died on us. We lost a pound for dead fish that costed us second place. It happens in the heat of summer plus the old Hawg Sauce makes them suck the bait up pretty fast. When she hit me she came right to the boat so by the time I caught up with her it was to late. She had done swallowed it deep. We are now leading this pack by 21 pounds in the Year Standings. Cookie and I have a great lead on them with a total of 121.10 with a new second place team having 100.8 lbs. I bet between Cookie & I we landed over 15 bass today, I thank the fish gods for letting us have those two keepers to move up a little more in the lead. We can't afford to slip now with only 3 tournaments left then the two day classic. I told Cookie today all we need to do is keep bringing something in to weigh and we will be ok. A skunk could cost us big time so you better bet the old Hawg Sauce will be on everything we throw from here on out. Good luck to everyone over the next two weeks as that will be my next club report. Next Sunday will be the River Rat Tournament.

Another tough day on the river. Congrats to Brian & James for 1st place, David & Russell for 2nd place & BF and Chris & Derrick for 3rd place. Cookie & I just could not find any keepers to bring in but we did have two dinks to weigh-in. We are still holding the lead by just under 20 lbs. Going to be a tight run for the end as these guys are hot on our rear trying to take that lead away. Next up is Roberson Creek on that sucky Jordan lake. I am looking so forward to fishing that dink hole where no dinks can be brought in. Just hope we can find a keeper to hold us on the top. Junior & Sammy took 2nd place in the standings and they are good on Jordan Lake. I have a feeling it will be down to the wire for the classic. Two more tournaments to go then we fish the classic. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Well folks here is the lay down of Todays Tournament on that suck ass Jordan lake. Have I ever told ya how much I hate Roberson Creek / Jordan Lake? Anyway congrats to Brian & James for 1st place, Ronnie & Neil for 2nd place & BF and Randy & Steve for 3rd place. Cookie & I caught a limit of fish if we had been anywhere other then Jordan Lake but seeings we had to through them all back let Junior & Sammy, Randy & Steve and Brian & James close the gap some. We are only 17 pounds in the lead for the Year Standings. I still say it will come down to the classic to see who wins this year. To many chances of two Jordan lakes being pulled out of the hat that could hurt Cookie and I bad. We plan to find a limit of fish in two weeks to show everyone that there are keeper fish in Fayetteville then all the cry babies will have to suck it up. I hope lots of boats catch a keeper then we have a shot at keeping it in the club next year. If not then I guess we will lose that river. If this happens then we need to check out Eno or some other river to take its place. We next weekend we have off from fishing. Don't know how that happen but it will give me a chance to get our deer stands trimmed out and plant new food plots so everything will be ready come opening day of deer season on Oct 14th.

WAKE UP AMERICA... Its time to go fishing. This is the last tournament for the year before we head into out two day classic in two weeks. Sure hope the fish are on for the home team to Git-R-Done for us to hold onto this lead we have for the year standings. Good luck to all on the water today. Well give a report when I return home this afternoon.

Congrats to Junior & Sammy for 1st place, Jevon & Waylon for 2nd place & BF and Robin & Bill for 3rd place. Cookie and I zeroed out once again letting our lead drop now to only 13 lbs. Some keepers were brought in this time to that show there are some in that river. Jevon had BF weighing 3.4 lbs, Nice one no doubt. We voted to not put this river in the two day classic. I am all for that vote myself as there are just to many dinks there. This also made it to be voted out next year. Now we have two Jordan's, Two Harris and one Avents that will be put in the bag Friday night 10-20-06.

Way to go CB!!

Congrats CB & Cookie 

Way to go, and congrats!
