Story by Steve Jennings
Friday Night Meeting was Whites Creek Baptist Church. After everyone had lots of great food to eat, we had just a short walk over to the sanctuary where Pastor Roger feed our souls with a heart felt message. So thankful for this church family.
Saturday Morning came with unseasonable hot humid and no wind. At the end of the day the newly formed team of Tim Smiley and Lynn Spears came to the scales with 3 bass weighing in at 10.23 pounds. Tim reported catching fish on a variety of lures. Fishing deep and shallow during the day.
Second place went to George Headdon fishing by himself, came to the scales with 3 fish limit weighing in at 10.14 pounds. George reported catching 12 keepers during the day fishing from topwater down to 18 feet deep. George ran his new Mercury Outboard around the mid-section of the lake to catch fish many different lures.
Third place went to the seasoned team of Greg Cope and Donnie Wormsley who came to the scales with 3 fish limit weighing 9.32 lbs. they also had the lunker of the tournament a beautiful 4.74 largemouth bass. This team ran their Mercury Outboard around the mid-section of the lake fishing shallow early and then moving out deep on main lake points later in the day.
