Where in the world has all the good night fishing gone???? If that first line doesn't tell you how the night went...at least for me and my co-angler Jose. It was a tough one yet again, someone even took a little siesta on the his boat. The best thing is there were no zeros this month. There were a total of 5 limits caught, 36 bass caught and released for a total of 96.01 lbs. Big Bass was 5.38.

Results as follows

1st Jeff - 18.32

2nd Rex - 15.23

3rd Eddy - 12.84

Co- Anglers

1st Nick - 12.78

2nd Jody - 11.46

3rd Jose - 2.14

Big Bass

Jeff - 5.38

Next month will be Big L/ Little L choice from safelight to 2p. Weigh in will be at Little L Ramp. See you then!

Let's start with the President forgot about the meeting, but I still rewarded everyone with meeting points. There were a couple things to go over but we didn't have time.

First the 6 month big bag has restarted and I have put everyone in it for now. Next month bring your 25 bucks if you want in on it, or you can pay it monthly and it will be 30 bucks. Anyone who doesn't pay anything next month you will not be in on the big bag pot.

Next the first half of the big bag pot goes to Jeff, with 22.68. Congrats fine sir!

Next month's tournament will be at Alley West on August 15th from 6p-1a. We will decide on the Club Meeting location and time the week of the tournament.

On to the results from this weekend. It was tough and slow, even after pre-fishing two weekends in a row. Good thing is I learned a couple things, but conditions were different and I had to switch it up. Anyways, I felt like Jaden Smith from Karate Kid, put the jacket on, take it off, put it on, take it off, with all the rain that kept coming through. One storm put a couple of us under the bridge for about 30 min. The outcome of the tournament wasn't that great for what Aerojet usually produces at night. 18 bass were weighed in for a total of 42.36lbs and big bas was 4.86.

Here are the results.

1st Tony - 11.62

2nd Rex - 10.44

3rd Jody - 6.67

Big Bass Tony - 4.86

The running for angler of the year is close. In order, Rex with 392 points, Jeff with 391 points and Tony with 389 points.

Co- angler of the year running is Mike with 267 points, Nick with 264 points and Jody with 257 points.

Good luck to all as we approach the end of the season. Still have plenty of time for things to switch up. Until next month. Tight Lines

First and foremost my apologies for a super late post. I have been having difficulties logging on to the website to edit the pages. Anyways, first congrats to Ralf for his win at Alley West with a nice bag coming in at 20.83. He also had big bass for 6.31. Second and third went to Rex with 19.72 and Jeff with 19.55.

It was a tough tournament...at least for me. It started with a run all the way out west, to only find out I left all my food in the truck. Then it followed by not a single bite until 11pm. We weighed in 29 fish with 100% live release. There were 12 of us fishing and we had a combined total weight of 97.79.

We held the club meeting right before the tournament began. Two drops are still in effect even though we missed two tournaments this season. Jody was voted into the club. Next meeting we will have to vote in Chuck. We also have two possible new members...if they can get the vote in...Bill and Danny.

The results have been posted for the 6 month big bag....the winner is Jeff with 22.68. Congrats to you fine sir. The standings for the season so far are also posted. We have a pretty tight running. Jeff in first with 340, Rex in second with 338, and Tony in third with 332.

First and foremost, it was great to see Richard Prager out with us. Keep getting stronger buddy. The day started with jig saw puzzling parking 6 trailers in the little space we had at the ramp, but we figured it out. I do have a little suggestion after this tournament, we should somehow incorporate a team tournament into our tournament functions. It was cool to work with the guy behind you versus trying to keep him from catching fish, hahaha. 

Anyways, someone needs to stop this man. Chunky has been on a train for the last two to three months. Congrats to him and his partner Javier Abreu for taking it all, first and big bass. They had 16.20 lbs and big bass at 4.93. There were 5 limits caught, 26 fish weighed in for a total weight of 63.69lbs. Not too bad with the water the way it was.

There was a suggestion brought up at the boat ramp, to start hosting the meetings after/before tournaments, until things get back to normal. As I put on the homepage, we will be seeing how we do next month's meeting depending on the status of the VFW. I also know a lot of people are not comfortable yet to be close to anyone. So the suggestion may work out great. We did however vote that next tournament will count for points, and we voted Alley West on June 20th from 6p-2a.

Until next time

Tony

Well I guess I was wrong...Chunky did it again, back to back wins! Congrats brother! Needless to say a fun time was fun by all. It was a beautiful day, and it was fun. As Jeff and I continue our back and forth battle, others are still destroying props, and losing parts of their skegs. We haven't even made it to Okeechobee. Speaking of Okeechobee, amidst everything that is going on with this virus, we have decided to change our tournament to a 1 day local at L29 on Saturday April 18th from 6a-3p. Well here are the results

Anglers

1st Chunky 17.32

2nd Jeff 14.37

3rd Tony 11.02

Co-Anglers

1st Nick 9.48

2nd Mike 6.03

3rd Jody 5.48

Big Bass

Chunky 7.04

Congrats to all and til next time!

Tony

Someone explain to me how Chunky just randomly shows up and we donate to him??? Chunky next time that's not happening, not saying it's going to be me that'll do it but someone will, haha. The day was windy and slow, it would rain, stop, the get really hot and about the time you took off your rain get from borderline heat exhaustion, it would start raining again. The morning started off rough for me with a blown tire, but luckily it happened at the ramp. Then after the tournament, finding our your spare is flat, then having to borrow a spare, to then borrow another one, then noticing your hub is loose, I would say that's a little rough day. Luckily 2nd place and big fish will pay for some of the repair costs. Anyways here are the results

Anglers

Chunky - 12.06

Tony - 10.17

Jeff - 9.42

Co-Anglers

Nick - 4.43

Clint - 3.64

Jody - 2.78

Big Bass 

Tony - 4.39

Next tournament will be March 21st out of Holiday Park from 6a-3p. See you there!!

Once upon a time, we fished two tournaments in a row with 20 plus mph winds. Yes, it was windy yet again, for some of us in our favor, for others not so much. First off I would like to send a special thanks to the 'Canic for finally getting my boat right!! It seemed to be the fish were everywhere and you could catch a dozen in 30 seconds, but you couldn't even take them to the weigh in. We weighed in 52 fish altogether and from the stories at the ramp, we probably collectively caught 200 bass, 300 mudfish and another dozen gar. Nothing like wanting that big fish and whether you have a non boater and scream for the net or you're solo and run around your boat jumping over every obstacle to get the net to only find out its a 10lb mudfish. There's only one person without that problem...Rex Thompson, only because you won't find a net in his boat. All in all it was a good turnout, like I said we weighed in 52 fish for a total weight of 84.31lbs and the big bass was 5.33. There were 8 limits caught out of the 12 of us that fished. The results are as follows:

Anglers

1st Chris 14.20

2nd Jeff 12.60

3rd Tony 8.67

Co Anglers

1st Clint 7.70

2nd Mike 3.93

3rd Jody 3.82

Big bass 

Jeff 5.33

Congrats to all the winners.

First off, this is how a tournament turn out should be. It almost reminded me of when I first joined the club, with the exception of we had more non-boaters back in the day. It was cool to see 9 boats stacked in the basin of Little L preparing for take off. 

Anyways on to the day, it was windy, the day was one of those that I think I put on and took off my rain gear more times than I switched lures. A couple of us went swimming in that 60 degree water to fix boat issues, needless to say only one of those two boats were able to run. I must say I am glad that one is over. Oh, and to the President Jeff, don't doubt your tournament director, haha. I told you I would get the boats sent off by 6a. 

Well congrats to all the winners! See the tournament results below.

Anglers

1st Jeff - 13.33

2nd Chunky - 12.66

3rd Rex - 11.78

Co- Anglers

1st Jose - 9.82

2nd Mike - 7.02

3rd Jody - 2.48

Big Bass

Rex - 3.98

Until next month tight lines!

Well, this years Classic was another success. Total weigh in was 65.78 lbs. There were a total of 30 bass weighed in and 29 live releases. The results are pretty much the usual, haha. The only difference was I got to fish the tournament with my own boat, and it was pretty much her maiden voyage. Barry fished with me and we went to weigh in with two limits. Found out my the fish in my live well like to switch sides, got to be thankful for cull tags. 

Anyways here are the results for the Classic for last years season.

1st - Rex Thompson - 15.11 lbs

2nd - Tony Dominguez - 11.57 lbs

3rd - Jeff Blom - 11.30 lbs

Big Bass - Rex Thompson - 3.72 lbs

Congrats to all the winners! Let's see what this next season brings all of us. 

To members and prospective members the club meeting will be this Thursday at the VFW. Try to arrive by 7pm to enjoy our End of the Year party as well, with a steak dinner provided by the VFW. Also do not forget your white elephant gifts.
