Tournament Fishing Reports. 

Stuart 9/6-7
The weather finally cleared for the weekend and lots of snook were caught making this one of the most successful tournaments in quite a while for our club.  Don Shoots caught a snook of a lifetime that weighed just over seventeen pounds and Ron Dunham caught several nice snook in and over the slot limit.  Most of the fish were caught on walk the dog baits and rattletraps.  Despite weather conditions being very similar most of the fish were caught on Saturday as opposed to Sunday.

Peace River 11/1-2
Several snook were caught the first day of the tournament below and in the slot.  Soft plastic baits and bucktail jigs were the most effective baits.  Joe Markovitz caught his big snook on a soft plastic bait fishing a dock.  Ron Dunham and Mike Howell caught several snook fishing around bridge pilings with Millie jigs.

South Chain 12/13/2009
It was a very cold and windy day and we encountered some of the worst fishing conditions in recent memory.  Most of the fish were caught early primarily on rattletrap type baits.  Gene Ledford caught several of his bass on Strike King's Red Eye Shad in the Sexy Shad color.

Lake Clinch  1/24/2009
Gene Ledford used a Carolina Rig with a Junebug Trick Worm over a brushpile in open water to catch a 7.86 pound bass to anchor his tournament winning stringer of 12.14 pounds.  His partner, Nook, used the same technique to catch a 3.30 pound bass and finish in third place.

Walk In The Water  6/13/2009
Richard Vieths used a white spinnerbait to land several keeper size fish.  The fish were caught around scattered grass and buggy whips.  After ten thirty the fishing slowed considerably in the high heat.
