            The Tallyhassee Bass Anglers fished Saterday, Mike Thomas won with 11.68, Dallas Johnson was second with 9.56, Big Fish was 4.8.  This was a half day tournament.

            The Big Bend Bass Club, with 11 members hosted the Teenage Big Bend members at Bristle Landing with a ½ day tournament.  Eddie Ditto and Josh won that event with about 8 lbs.  Big Fish was 3.58.  Crystal clear water moving fast does not make for good fishen.

            Wesley Pelham landed 15 Stripers & Hybreds using Jiggen Spoons in deep water, he also landed a big Bass but released him.

            Mr. Carter landed an eleven pound Bass on Thursday and 9 others.  He was a proud young man.  8 nice Bass was taken on Swim Bait.  If I remember right that is a $30 Lure.  Mike Sloan, one of the owners of Wingate’s landed a good Bass bout daylite Friday.  We have had some fine catches of Bluegill off beds.  Mark Pope and Justin took 87 nice Bluegil off beds using Crickets.  There was many other catches using Crickets & Jigs.

            Perch came to those who went early before the wind got up on several days.  Jigs will out catch Minnows on most days, however, some die-hard Minnow Fishermen still like to catch them on Minnows. 

            3 strange snake stories to tell you this week.  Big White Oak snake interrupted an outdoor cook-out by crawling under a picknick table and into a Mule.  Young man dropped Top Water in Pond, reached to pick it up, Water Moccasin bit him.  Young man in campground was bit by a huge White Oak Snake.  Watch the ground now days, snakes is out.   

(Editor's note White Oak Snakes ARE NOT poisonous. White oak snakes are a color varient of a gray rat snake. These snakes eat birds, birds eggs, frogs, lizards, squirrels and other rodents and generally attack only when provoked. They do look like a light version of a rattle snake and will take a rattle snake posture of "rattling" their tail if frightened. Additional Information, and some more info.)
