River Tournament Summary Not sure
what to say other than HOTTER THAN H---!
20 members launched at the Boatyard with at least
one I heard losing a truck part to the hanging branch over
the road at the entrance! Thank goodness
for the 2pm weigh in as many were back at the ramp early
and some as early as noon getting cooled in the truck.
I can tell you that at Idle the 2010 Tahoe with max
air and the air conditioned seats on has a fuel consumption
of only .4 gallon per hour. As for the
fishing, most found it very tough but a few members always
seem to find them. With
only 1 limit, and some good anglers including our current
#1 getting shut out, it was by no means automatic.
It appears the worm bite was the primary pattern
with an occasional Buzz bait bonus fish early. The great news is that in the hottest month
of the year with water temps between 88-90 degrees, we didn’t
lose a single fish! Great
job keeping your fish alive! We did have
a hammer nominee that big Rich said should be good enough
to engrave the plaque! At
the weigh in, those with fish stood in a sweltering heat
to show off their skills and when Andy showed up at the
scales, he poured his bag into the tub and other than a
water bottle, there was nothing left in the bag?
I expect the heat was taking as much out of him as
it did the rest of us which just made it that much worse
as he had to hike back to the boat to pull the lone fish
out of the live well and bring it back to the scales. Some shouted a 1 weigh in per angler rule should
be established! Evidently this was a first for the Panhandle
club so congratulations Andy, you are now infamous. With a total
club weight of just over 80 pounds, let’s hope for better
fishing in August at Claiborne!
Stay cool… Sincerely, Ron Fairbanks (Secretary)
