Winter Haven Chain
1-26-19
Welcome 2019!
Seems like it has been way too long since we all got together to fish. For some that have not been able to fish it has been. Now we just have to get through hopefully two cold months of fishing. Hopefully February will be nice to us? It was quite chilly and breezy this January day, but 14 teams including 3 new teams braved the elements. I would like to welcome team Albert Sr. and Albert Jr., team Bill and Tommie and team Joe and Paul. Also nice to have Malcolm back who is fishing with Keith. Oh yeah and not to forget George is fishing with his wife Trish. I am sure Joe and Greg thought their bad luck days were behind after last year, and wanted to start the year off with a bang. Well they did by blowing up their engine heading to their secret spot. Fished with their trolling motor all the way back to the ramp.
First Place with 5 bass weighing 12.88 lbs goes to Darrell and Jason
Second Place with 5 bass weighing 10.40 lbs goes to Mike and Steve
Third Place with 4 bass weighing 9.18 lbs goes to Gary and Richard
Big Bass weighing 4.64 lbs goes to Darrell and Jason
50/50 goes to Darrell.
Out of 14 teams only 4 limits were caught and Darrell and Jason’s big bass beat Steve and mine by .25. So close and yet so far.
Next tournament is February 23rd on the Butler Chain, launching from RD Keene Park. Please remember the ramp is not so user friendly and have to park a bit away. We will be able trailer boats to parking area after tournament, but all boats need to be in staging area by ramp by 2:00.
See you at the ramp,
Mike
