(Lake Crescent)
Thirty-nine (39) teams are qualified for
tournament (largest to date) With
additional sponsorship prizes,certificates
to come in along with cash placements.
total value to date $17,666.00, to be awarded to all teams. Again, largest
ever payout for a non dues charging club tournament.
2014 has been best year since FCC
was started in 2003.
Thanks to all you involved - it has been plasure to fish with and be around you all. See you at the Classic
Typo error, water temp was 64.4 not 54.4.........not that cold yet....just fat fingered
wrong key.
When Darryl's 2 lb 8.5 oncer was filet out - "SHE HAD ALMOST NO ROE IN HER"
Would probably be well into 3 lb bracket in about another month or so........
Again, this lake amazed several people saturday in wheather conditions we were
working with.
