This maybe a new circuit
but we have our first repeat winners. I said in the
newsletter last month that the team of Wade Jordan/Mike
Carver was going to be a team to be reckoned with. Not
only did they repeat but also they raised the bar by
weighing in 24.56 lbs of largemouth good for $930.00.
I know that the big bags are supposed to come out of
the lakes with those kinds of reputations but Morgan
Lake just keeps doing it. When was the last time 21
lbs. did not get a check at almost any lake in the country?
That was Stan Horn's dilemma when the final tally showed
him in 4th place. That's right, fourth with over 21
lbs. and all he got was the cash for Lucky Loser, first
out if the money. The team of David Perry/Scott Skelton
was 2nd with 22.46 lbs. that paid $465.00. They also
brought in a great representative of the "HOG"
club with a 7.17 lb bucketmouth. Coming in just a little
shy at 22.33 lbs for 3rd place was the team of Sean
Hill/Dennis Cook, which rewarded them $240.00. Can Wade
and Mike say "Three-Peat"? There were 8 limits
weighed with every team weighing at least one fish.
There were 15 teams with one new team from Grand Junction,
Co. coming down to sample the great fishing. I forgot
to get the winning patterns out of the top teams but
I would bet a dollar to a donut hole that it was a mix
of plastic and reaction baits. The bite was strong all
day.
For the teams that could
not make it due to weather, Mother Nature did you wrong
big time. Hope you don't miss the next one at Navajo
Lake, April 19th, which should be another one that takes
some serious weight to win. The meeting will be at K
B Dillon's from 5 pm till 7 pm on April 18th. Plan on
eating, they have great food at a reasonable price.
Let's support our sponsors when we can.
For anyone looking for
a circuit to join, look no further than Anglers Choice/Four
Corners division. We fish some of the best lakes in
the area with diverse habitats that challenges some
of the best anglers in the region. Just give me a call
or e-mail for info on fishing the most exciting team
circuit in the USA, U.S. Anglers Choice Team Tournament
Circuit. Where else can the anglers in this area get
a chance to qualify for a Championship event where they
give away 3 fully rigged Bass Cat boats? No where else.
On top of that, there is no entry fee into Championship
event.
Anglers Choice has the
greatest sponsors who really get behind the anglers.
At this event, I was able to give everyone who fished
a bag of Yamamoto Senkos. Word is they came in useful
to some of the teams in getting a few more bites out
of an area. Thank you Yamamoto Custom Bait Co. for the
support. Another great sponsor is Bass Cat boats who
awarded a $1000.00 Bas Cat Bucks certificate good towards
the purchase of a new boat to the first place team.
This is not one of those programs where you have to
be using the manufacture's boats; it is for the winners
no matter what they own. Thank you Bass Cat boats. Our
other sponsors include Lowrance electronics, Motorguide
trolling motors, Mercury Outboards, Competitive Edge
baits, Solar Bat eyewear, Hamby's Protector, Bass West
magazine. Our local sponsor is K B Dillon's restaurant
who provides the meeting place for us. Do not forget
our great sponsors when considering your next purchase,
without them, it would be impossible to bring this circuit
to you.
