    The weather cooperated, nice day for fishing, and nice turnout....especially for February tourney.
    + 12 lbs was the winning stringer and that was a good looking mess of fish.
    It was nice meeting everyone and we had a great time. Looking forward to the next tourney in March at Pickwick.
    Believe the open/fruit jar format with money payout is a good idea.
    In addition to the tourney, we passed out our 2011 Awards....congrats to Jerry Miller & Blake Bryant for 2011 Team of the Year....y'all done good!!

    If anyone has any pics, please post a few.

    2012 started with a bang! Them local fellers put a hurtin on us.

    I did manage to get a picture of last years champs Jerry Miller and Blake Bryant. Mr. Jerry and Blake couldn't fish yesterday so everybody else had a chance. A couple of genuine fine fellows. Congrats gentlemen.

    Fish were caught all over. Some teams fished the "Backwater". Some went to the Beech River, and a few made a run up the TN. Mostly spider rigging, but we had a few single pole fishermen. Shallow drops close to deeper water produced well for a lot of folks that I talked to.

    I fished from 12 to 4 on beech yesterday and caught 26 keepers. I caught them in 2 to 4 ft tight to cover. Casting a jig and bobber.

    I fished the tournament, first one ever. Certainly different that ‘just fishin’ and had a great time. Fine bunch of guys and well organized also! I WILL try to do this again! Only gripe is that ramp that goes into the river SUCKS big time, but the club has no power over it.

    I single pole fished the Beech River only, on laydowns beginning on the deeper ones first. There was some current out early but quit around 10:00. Bite was REAL good until current stopped on the deeper 6’-10’ cover. Then I found fish at the mouths of the backwater near adjacent cover in 2-4 FOW. Around noon I tried some of the shallower 1-2 FOW stake beds and found a few decent fish. Dinks were plentiful enough that I bent the barb down to make getting them off easier/quicker.

    Water was 46-48d and stained brown/verging on muddy, visibility to 8” or so. I started with 1/16oz plain lead head and lime/chart micro skirt. Changed to firecracker, orange/chart, pink/chart then settled in on pearl. Ended up cleaning 18.
