Day 1

Nov 8-9 we held our Club Championship at Lake havasu. You could not have asked for better weather, low of 65 and a high of over 80! The only drawback was they had dropped the lake about 3-4 feet and some areas were not accessible. With a 4 boat field (we really need to get more people there)! We launched a little late day one but everyone got out and it was game on.  Don and Ellison came out of the gate in front for the first day with a nice 3.83 smallmouth and a 5 fish limit of 8.45 pounds, Gary and Calvin were right behind with the big fish the first day of 4.50 and a 3 fish weight of 6.71. Paul Hemsley was in third with 2 fish with his big fish of 3.89 and a total weight of 4.97 and Toby and Randall  Bruce with 2 fish at 4.13.

Day 2

After we synchronized our watches we all launched as the sun was coming up this time and again the weather was awesome! The bite was a bit tougher the second day with at least three tournaments going on over the weekend. The top water bite was a little slow but came through for a few boats! At the end of the day Gary and Calvin came in with a nice sack of 9.35 for a 2 day total 16.06. Don and Ellison came in with 5.35 for a total weight of 13.80, Toby and Randall had 5.03 and Paul had a rough day with 1 fish but did not weigh in.

All in all it was a fun weekend with the traditional p@ker game that Randall and Toby went to wire with Randall taking home the win! Fun time had by all with everyone stating that they can’t wait for the spring 2 dayer at Lake Havasu.

It was a great night on the lake for the Bass Anglers Federation.  Seven teams launched for the clubs annual night tournament and everyone weighed fish.  Toby and Randall stayed on the lake this year and finished 3rd, weighing five fish for 11.47 with a 4.10lb contender for big fish.  KVR and Calvin came in with a solid limit of 12.21lbs to take 2nd place.  In 1st place, bringing in 13.90lbs, is Gary and Anthony.  As I heard it, the tourney was won at dawn.  Anthony stuck a couple of solid keepers just before sunrise to put em over that included big fish weighing 4.60lbs.  Congrats to Gary and Anthony.  The both of these guys needed a win to keep em in contention for Angler of the Year.  The end of the points season is fast upon us and the dock talk has shifted from how and where you caught em to "how much weight you got?".  Toby and Paul are tied up on the boaters side with 468 points, KVR is right there with 467 points, and Gary makes it tough with 466 points.  On the non-boater side, Ellison leads the pack with 481 points.  Anthony trails by 9 points and Matt is just 17 points behind Ellison.  Keep the excitement up, guys!  Here's the breakdown of our night tourney.
