2008 Results

Mark Ward is no stranger to five fish limits. At West Point in April, Mark brought the only limit to the scales and took the win. His total weight was 5.44 pounds, including the big fish of the tournament at 1.65 pounds.

Scott Ebitino took second with three fish and 3.90 pounds. Nick Ward placed third and Shawn Hendrix rounded out the top four.

Nicodemus Bests Weather at Sinclair

The club fished Lake Sinclair for its first of two tournaments in April. Due to some very inclement weather including thunderstorms, only three Anglers and two boats braved the elements (Tom Nicodemus and the club’s two newcomers Scott Ebetino and Shawn Hendrix). Scott fished with Tom and Shawn fished solo.

The three anglers fished in heavy rain until 10:30am then returned to Sinclair Marina at the first crack of lightning. At noon, the three took off again only to have Tom spin his prop, and which time the “die-hards” called it a day. Thank goodness for Tom as he had already sacked three fish which took the win for a total of 3 fish and 5.17 pounds and big fish of 2.55 lbs. Scott and Shawn did not catch fish. The club is looking for better weather in later April as we travel to West Point looking for the spawn and post spawn hawgs.

Bost Back On Top

March found the club on Lake Eufaula for a single-day event. Cliff Bost showed the club he is the "Scholar on Eufaula". Cliff had an early limit and culled several fish throughout the day. He ended up with over 14 pounds and an easy win. He also weighed the big fish of the tournament at 3.74 pounds.

Ronnie Hendrickson took second place with a nice catch of 4 fish and 7.53 pounds. Third went to Scott Ebetino who had a pair of fish and 5.15 pounds, while Matt Davis placed fourth with 2 fish and 4.38 pounds.

Hunt Hooks Hawg

Lanier Hunt Hooked a 6.40 pound fish at our Lake Seminole tournament in February. In doing so he not only won the tournament and the big fish pot, he broke the seemingly unbreakable 6 pound lunker pot. It was a good payday for Lanier as it has been quite a while since the lunker pot had paid out.

Lanier had 3 fish and a total weight of 9.79 pounds.

Second place went to Andy Treon with 6 fish and 6.63 pounds. Mike Sullivan took third with 2 fish and 3.45 pounds, and Cliff Bost placed fourth with 2 fish and 3.23 pounds.

Needless to say Lanier's lunker was the highlight of the event as there just weren't that many fish caught.

Mike Brunett IS the Weewee King

The 2008 season kicked off with a single-day tournament at Lake Wedowee. A weak cold front passed through only two days before tournament day, and it didn't look like we would have a very good creel. It is January, after all.

Most of the club was pleasantly surprised at how well the fish were biting. The water temps were in the low to mid fifties, and the cold front and bluebird skies didn't seem to have that much of an effect on the fish.

Three anglers brought limits to the scales, four anglers had four fish, and no one zeroed. Fourteen total anglers caught a total of 44 fish. Not too shabby for early January.

For the third straight Lake Wedowee tournament, Mike has dominated. This month Mike had a five fish limit and a total weight of 9.90 pounds. He caught his fish on a crankbait with a little help from the wind.

Second place went to Andy Treon. After a seven month hiatus, Andy came back and got busy with a limit and 6.19 pounds. His fish were caught on a jerkbait and the trusty spot sticker.

Third went to newcomer Shawn Hendrix. Shawn had four fish and a total of 5.94 pounds. Don DeHaven caught his first limit and finished fourth with 5.89 pounds. Congrats to these guys for their first time accomplishments. There are surely more to come...
