Mr. Cliff  Armstrong

 

The True Story:

Lake Seminole earley spawn

With a heavy early morning fog on the water Steve Meadows gave the invocation and Mack the blast off. As the fog burned off and day began to heat, the bedding fish became the targeted fish for most fishermen with some nice fish being boated. Mr. Cliff Armstrong lost the dark cloud over his head and boated a new club record 7.62 pounder, ( it was wearing the life jacket he lost)

Wayne Thomley was able to scratch out the only two day limits of fish to take first place with 19.63 lbs. Those gps way points you got off Rich Cornelius Lowrance sure worked !

John Kasic used all of his own skills to get on bedding fish and pitch soft plastics to run a very close second place  with a two day total of nine fish weighing in at 19.23 lbs.

Billy Blackwell said he got on some bedding fish that liked his little jig and those that did not eat that jumped on his jerk bait. Billy grabbed third place with 17.46 lbs. and eight fish for two days.

The overall picture of this event for the entire club was very good with 20 of 21 members boating a total of 100 fish ,55 on day 1, with 3 limits being caught by Wayne, John K. and Rich H. and 45 on day 2, with Wayne the only one to catch 2 limits Billy and Lee both had a second day limit weighing in at 200.24 lbs, 114.70 lbs on day one and 85.54 lbs on day 2.On the Cramer fishing scale I would give Lake Seminole a 8.3 for the event.

Ken Repine (3 fish 3.47 lbs.)                     out fished

 Rich Cornelius(2fish3.13lbs.)
