Lake Henderson
August 25th, 2012
I would like to start off by welcoming the new team of Rick and Blanche Johnson. Please make sure you say hi and introduce yourselves if you have not already. I was a little worried since they live up this way and have fished Henderson recently. Rick informed me it has been tough, but did not think it would be as tough as it was. Also fishing as a sub was Jim Fesperman who fished with his old partner Mike Touchton. It was nice to see Jim back, fishing with us, even if it was as a sub. Eleven teams showed up to fish on this dog day of summer. With all the rain there was plenty of water. Maybe too much too soon which may have caused the bite to be as slow or non existent as it was. The first place team of Keith and Justin got so frustrated with the poor fishing and having engine issues ( low oil ) they decided to pack up early and head home. Gap between them and team Darrell and Brandon just got a lot closer.
First Place with 5 bass weighing 7.25 lbs goes to Joe and Greg
Second Place with 3 bass weighing 4.80 lbs goes to Rob and his ghost partner Tony
Third Place with 2 bass weighing 4.52 lbs goes to Phil and Frank
Big Bass weighing 3.20 lbs goes to Darrell and Brandon
Next tournament is on Lake Panasoffkee out of Tracy’s Point Sept. 22nd.
It was brought to my attention the 2012 Classic which was voted on to fish February 9th and 10th on Okeechobee out of Clewiston has another major event that weekend. We will be watching all the other pro tournament dates and locations so we can choose another lake. The alternate lake is St. Johns, but we will have to see if available?
See You Next Tournament
