A note out of the past, that lets me know that America is on the Right Track. At the BASS Southern Open on the Harris Chain, when the National Anthem was being played, 4 bald eagles set up a circle pattern and kept circling for some time.
The Seminole Division of C&R Tournament Series took place in 17° weather. The wind was about 15 to 18 miles per hour. Matt Baty won it with 18.85 lbs. of Bass and a 6.75 lbs. Big Fish. Mr. Clay Johns of Covington, GA had a 9 lbs. Bass he caught. A fine Bass note in a tournament though. Mr. Brown came in with a 12 pound Striper and a 4 lbs. Hybrid.
With lots of Bass being taken, the Crappie is still the fish of the week. 28 Crappie, shallow on Minnows, 35 Crappie on Minnows and Jigs, 2 limits of Crappie on Minnows, 45 Crappie taken shallow on Minnows. One family bought 5 Minnow buckets and 4 dozen Minnows in each.

Sorry, no pictures this week.
