The
Speckled Perch have gone crazy this past week. Carl Keim of
Bass Island Campground here at Wingate’s caught 263 this past
week alone on Jigs in deep water. He said it was the best fishin
he’s ever had. Amos Frazier and Don Logsdon brought em
in by the boatload too. Cliff Straughn of Chattahoochee,
FL caught lots of Perch on Minnows, along with Russ Rodgers, Eddie
Ditto and Kelly Brown.
We
can’t complain about the ducks either. Ron Goldsmith
of Lake Oconee, GA and
Mike Harmon of Douglasville, GA brought
in 10 Ringnecks. Chris Jannakas and Keith Davis of Grey, GA
brought in a bunch of Ringnecks and Bluebills. Bill Estes
and Steve White of Duluth, GA brought
in several different breeds with help from good ole Jake the Wonder
Dog.
The
Buckmaster’s Disabled Hunt was held down across the state line. Ray
Krolokowski killed a 9 point buck using only his mouth. It’s
pretty neat how they set those guys up to hunt. It takes a
lot of volunteers and man hours. Russell Smith and Mike Laird
are the two that put it on and it takes them a whole year to get
ready for the next one.
The
Hydrilla Gnats came in 2nd in the Georgia Bass Club World Team Championship
on Lake Russell this
weekend. Mike Prindle, Andy Koundourakis, Mike Sloan, Paul
Tyre, Sean Neel and Billy “Gizmo” Roton made up the team, “The
Swarm”. Congratulations boys, you made us proud.
