Ok after what seemed like weeks of rain and wind the weather finally settled out and made for a great day with temps in the low seventies and partly cloudy skies. The wind picked up at the end of the day but other than that a nice day on the water. The morning started off a bit foggy, however that lent to some early top water action for some anglers. Most of the teams had limited the key was fining the bigger fish. Taking 1st place was Dan Santis with an impressive 17.04 lbs. He also had Lunker of the day with a nice 4.68 lb fish. Coming in 2nd Place Casey & Corey with 15.75 lbs. 3rd Place honors went Danny & Rich with 12.95 lbs. Reports had fish taken on top water, pig & jig, crankbaits, and a variety of soft plastics.
The Angler of the Year race is shaping up this event put Steve Funkhouser at the top of the leader board, however Casey Griggs is a mere one point behind with John Krieg and Brandon Rountree within striking distance.
The Non-Boater Angler of the Year is no exception to a tight race. Currently Cody Jester is holding the lead, however Steven Atkins and Jacob Reynolds are just a couple of points behind and could easily take over. Other honorable mention catches for the tournament:
Jerry McAfee – 4.51 lb
Casey Griggs – 3.8 lb
Lewis Golay – 3.21 lb
Jim Carlson – 2.13 lb

Well, the weather corporates with partly sunny skies, temps in the low seventies and light winds from the south. The previous days of rain made the river high with a good sustained fast current flow.

However, there is always a winning and Jim &Rich took 1st place with 9.48 lbs. they also had a nice 4,34 lb. kicker fish as well. Coming 2nd Place was Mike & Chris with 8.77 lbs.

Cancer Benefit Tournament Lake Meade & Cohoon
13 May 2023
The local fishing community pulled together to support a local girl who is fighting Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer. Bass-Jons sponsored the event with clubs and trails from Jon Boat Elite Trail, Hawg Wild, Single-Doubles Trail and some local legends. We are happy to report that the benefit was a complete success, the young lady had no idea we were doing the event until she arrived, to support family and friends to what she thought was just a regular tournament. She was taken aback by all the support and kindness received from all the anglers that fished and contributed. We raised a grand total of $2,545.00! Now onto the results, first it ended up to a pretty nice day partly sunny and temps reaching the mid eighties and winds 9-20 mph. We had twenty-three boats participate in the event with a payout for four places. The team that took 1st Place Brad Webb & Matt Holt with 25.03 lbs they also had Lunker of the day with massive 8.19 lb fish. According to the team they literally caught this fish within sight of the boat ramp at 3:55, so the saying it’s not over until it’s over held true for them. Coming in 2nd Place was Evan Worley & Allen Oliner with 19.33 lbs. Third Place went to Chris Mullins & Jake Lusk with 18.18 lbs and coming 4th was Bob Bullen & Kevin Atkins with 16.50 lbs. Again, a big thank you to all that came out and supported the event, it was really appreciated.

The second tournament in a row where the winds were brutal throughout the day. The temperatures reached 80 degrees and for the most part mostly cloudy with a few light rain showers. Water temps 56 – 59 degrees. The fishing was sporadic at times they were chewing and then long periods of no bites. Larry & Jason took 1st place with 14.76 lbs. Coming in a close second was Steve & Cody 14.22 lbs this puts Steve at the top of the leader board for AOY. Going to see an interesting year of back and forth with points leaders as its anyone’s game right now. 3rd Place went to Brandon & Jacob with 12.50 lbs. Big Fish honors went Steven Atkins with a nice 5.40 lb fish.

Wow what a great way to lick off our 22nd season. The weather as far as temps and partly sunny skies made the opening event somewhat enjoyable, however the winds 14 mph with frequent gusts over 30 mph made fishing at times difficult. The water temps were 52 degrees. Only four teams had double digits numbers and then only three had a five fish limit. Casey & Corey took 1st place with 19.68 lbs, they also had Lunker of the day with a nice 5.41 lb fish. Coming in 2nd was Steve & Cody with 16.68 lbs. I think we see these two teams battle it out throughout the year, 3rd Place went to Mike & Mike with 11.85.
