Good news for Bainbridge and Decatur Co. We hear threw the grapevine that F.L.W. and B.A.S.S. will be here next April and May. That means a ton of bizness for the town and county, also Wingate’s mite pick up a dollar or two.
Now, for some bad news, we saw in the Wall Street Journal that things were really slowing down in Chicago, the mafia has laid off 5 judges.
The Weekly Jack Wingate Thursday Night Big Fish Tournament held out of Wingate’s was won by B.J. Johns and Reed Heard with a 6.83 pounder, 2nd place went to Clint Brown and Wade Rudd with a 6.48 pounder.
The Backwoods Outdoors Tournament took place with 68 boats fishing. Went like this: 1st place went to Stevens and Johnson with 27.92 lbs. of Bass, 2nd place went to Brian Key and Jim Merritt with 24.64 lbs., 3rd place went to Steve Bushore and Craig Taylor with 24.22 lbs., Steven and Johnson had Big Fish with a 7.39 pounder.
The Talquin Hookers Bassin’ Gals of Tallahassee fished Saterday also with the winner being #1 Sheila Brust with 8.40, #2 Linda Chelette with 8.07, #3 Toni Scott with 6.63 and Big Fish went to Sarah Dunn with a 3.65 pounder.
The way Bass has went all week long, we thought there would be a lot more fish taken Saterday. It has got to be where a 4 lb. – 5 fish limit will not get you in the money now. We hope it keeps it up twill be good for bizness around the lake.
The biggest hatch of Willow Flies “May” are out and Bream are on every tree from Faceville Landing to the dam. We swept up a 10 qt. water bucket full off the front door Saterday morning at 5am. Fly Rod time is NOW!
Bream are bedding in many places, lots of folks are culling and bringing in the big ones only. Many bed have been found, the reason lots of folks don’t find beds is they only fish when they are bedding.
