Issacs Creek on Claiborne Lake was the tournament choice
for our August event.
It was HOT, literally.
Most members went up on Friday to witness the experiences
of Jim Bell. It
is reported that Cliffie and
Billy got together and put the mojo
on Jim…I guess he will draw #13 for the rest of the year.
He came in Friday with ‘boat problems’, apparently
he had run on a mud bar and clogged his water pump.
Mack rose to the occasion and came to assistance
in clearing the mud and sand from Jims cooling system.
On tournament day and qualifying for the HAMMER
Jim had a weak battery and crossed the leads trying to
get power and started a fire.
They found a fire extinguisher and got it put out
without major damage. In the meantime Mr. Repine also had a dead battery
and needed assistance in getting his rig ready. Saturday
it was HOT. We
had 14 members and 3 guest looking for Mr. Bass.
The numbers were called out in strict order, and
blast off went smoothly.
Most members went to short river spots, a few tried
the creeks. Wayne
and Dora started low with little action so decided to run,
and run north. Richie
and John had already made the long run and were fishing
tree tops above the 10 bridge. Lee had a guide and went to his secret spots
(probably one of my holes).
It was HOT. Finally
2:00pm rolled around and the stringers were a little short
on fish. No limits,
Lee took 3rd with 1 fish 4.19, Richie found
5 for 6.07 and squeezed into 2nd, and Wayne
moved up on Big Rich a few points with 6 fish weighing
8.47. Mr.
Repine found a local guide, but forgot where he told him
to fish. Ron and Steve G left early, had to beat the
traffic back home. There
were 3 guests, Jim Bell, Sr
took guest honors with 1 fish for 1.85lbs., Dora
provided motivation for Wayne. Hopefully,
September will offer some cooler weather as we head to
Lay/Mitchell for a 2 day event. Until then,
Keep your line wet.
