             Last Friday at Boyd’s Marine’s 75th Annaversary Open House in Dothan, these awards was given, “Eufala Bass Club” 36 years of Children’s Fishing Contest, 300 plus each year, “Sowega Bass Club” for putting on a tournement for St. Jude’s Hospital, “Dothan Bassmasters” for many years sponsored “The Sportsman Night Out” to benefit the Children’s Home and last, Mr. Boyd, 85 years young for his lifelong contribution to the boating industry.

A new GA State Record Blue Catfish has been caught in Middle Georgia by a 15 year old, Tyler Dodson.  Here is his bait, he mixed chili with jalapino pepper with sloppy joe mix, red kidney beans and primo catfish bait, sewed into a section of panty hose with a 5/0 hood empeded in it.  Anyone with a 15 year old can appreciate that formula.

Things I see in weather changes, just hundreds of Robins about, about 4 acres of Blackbirds, thousands of Rice Birds in our area and 2 Ducks killed by road traffic.

Bainbridge Bass Club’s recent Fishout’s 1st place went to Paul Pickles with 7.19 lbs., with the Big Fish at 4.11 lbs., 2nd place went to Don Hensley with 7.14 lbs., and 3rd place went to Lance Whiddon with 6.71 lbs.  By the way, the air temp was 31.6.

This is good to know, the Court reversed it’s decision on the water wars.  Atlanta can no longer negosiate an agreement with the Corps of Eng.  It has to make terms with the Congress, and as an astute politician sed recently, “With-in 24 hours of spending the tax payers money the amount should be put on line so everyone can know where his tax doller is being spent.”  Amen!

Kelly Brown had 10 Bass, one at 8.6 lbs.  Al Carter had 10 Bass, one at 10 ½ , there was many other big fish caught.

Big, heavy Perch was taken over the weekend on Jigs, Small Diving Baits and Traps.  There was many slabs taken, one boat had 60 biguns taken.

The Georgia Bass Federation Nation Championship Tournement was held at Wingate’s this past weekend.  The Hydrilla Gnats Bass Club liked 8 lbs. winning the team title which went to the Dixie Bass Club.  Bradley Enfinger came in 1st with 28.65 lbs., Our own Paul Tyre came in 2nd with 28.32 lbs. and our own Angelo (Andy) Koundourakis came in 3rd with 19.42 lbs.  Andy Koundourakis had the Big Fish with a 6.68 lbs.  A great tournement and great fellowship.
