Cedar creek was hot and the fishing was
tough for most, but several anglers found the fish. Gary Ables
topped 65 anglers with 8.69lbs and rumor has it that he caught
two keepers on one cast with a crank bait. David Mulcahy and
Mike Wood rounded out the top 3 with 8.03 and 7.54 lbs.
respectively. Congratulations to Wade Griffin for bringing in
the biggest bass of the tournament with his lunker of 5.30
lbs. For all of those at the weigh in, I am still trying to
get the picture of Mike Pannell out of my mind. For all of you
that weren't there ... Mike was taking his fish out of live
well and one got away over the side of his boat with Mike
going in after it. About 5 minutes later ... someone said that
they saw a bobber floating around the dock and Mike went back
in the water chasing his fish with the bobber attached.
Luckily for Mike, he got it back ... but the sight that we all
saw was a reminder of things that should not be seen. Needless
to say, we all got a huge laugh out of the deal.
The Fun Tournament of 2008 was held at
Eagle Mountain with over 30 people fishing it. Monte Coon won
the tournament. I hear that Carl Koch caught a nice fish, so
everyone needs to ask Carl about it because he loves to share
his stories about big fish.
The Coors/BCFW fishing tournament
benefiting St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital will be held at Lake
Lewisville on November 8, 2008. I want to thank Eddie Jones
and his committee for starting the process. We as a club
are going to be responsible for putting on this event, so we
need ALL members to help. Please contact Bill Smith or Eddie
Jones for more information. This is something the club can do
to give back to a great cause.
Our next club tournament will be at Lake
Lewisville on August 16th from 5:30am to 2:30pm. The launch
site will be Tower Bay Remember ... life jackets and kill
switches save lives.
