Lake Tarpon Nov. 12th, 2011
2011 tournament season has come to a close!
On this final tournament only 6 teams showed up to fish. Alledgedly another team showed up after we launched and decided not to participate after they had called one of the directors and was informed all they had to do was have their live wells checked and fish. Then rumor has it they had a great catch this day? Oh, then we had Phil who brought in a wringer since Darrell was out of town to try and catch the first place team? Then comes Mike Touchton with his wringer sub to compete on this very slow fishing day. The bite was slow and slower.
Before we had launched we picked the lakes for 2012. This was the first time we tried a new way by drawing names out of a hat. I must say this was the fastest we have ever picked the lakes. And yes if there is any conflict or issue with a particular lake the board will make a decision on a sub, just like we have always done. A total of 16 bass were brought to the scales with a total weight of 30.88 pounds.
First Place with 5 bass weighing 11.39lbs goes to Mike Touchton and wringer sub Tommy Z.
Second Place with 5 bass weighing 8.77lbs goes to Phil and wringer sub Brent.
Third Place with 4 bass weighing 8.33lbs goes to Frank and Keith.
Big Bass weighing 2.77lbs goes to Mike Touchton and Tommy Z.
ANGLERS OF THE YEAR GOES TO FRANK AND KEITH WITH 292 POINTS! Congrats to Frank and Keith
The first tournament will be January 28th, 2012 on a new lake to us. Tsala Apopka Lake in Floral City.
On behalf oy myself and the board we wish all of you a happy holiday season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Mike
