August Tournament:

The morning weather was warm and muggy with some fog rolling in just before day light, during the lengthy idol out towards the main river, the Yamaha's and the Mercury's took care of the mosquito problem along with the fresh air, the lack of. Once we were all out to the main river, we all got some fresh air and the fog wasn't so bad.
You might know the one day we were hoping for some cloud cover there was none, blue bird skies all day and no rain in sight. It was definitely a change all except for the rising waters once again. Like last month, getting a keeper bass to make a mistake was tough, but if you could hit them on the head, chances were good.
At the weigh-in, no limits were brought in, Larry Foshee had the best catch of the day with 6 keepers and also had big fish for the day which weighed in at 2.98 lbs. Good job Larry.
Wayne Thomley came in second with 4 fish and Rich Cornelius took 3rd with 3 fish.
Jigs and plastics worked the best for most. This was the last tournament with a 2 p.m. weigh-in.
Starting next month, it will be a 4 p.m. Weigh-in.
