September Tournament:

    The September tournament  was held at Bay City Lodge on the Apalachicola River. We had 15 boats for the tournament. The weather was pretty decent but hot and the river was out of the banks in most locations and somewhat muddy. Most of us caught fish but some struggled. A much better spring site.

Big Fish winner of the tournament went to Rich Cornelius  with a nice fish at 6.17 lb.

First place also went to Rich Cornelius with 10 fish weighing 22.40 lbs. Ron Fairbanks finished second with 8 fish weighing 12.02, and Lee Brannon finished third with 7 fish at 10.30 lbs. Good job guys.
