So Shall it Be.... Release the Cracken!
Can I get a AMEN!!! What will go down as one of the toughest bites on record and the 2010 SJHT Classic Championshp belt up for grabs, SJHT members are welcoming the Fall season.
I'm really quite speechless as far a writing something regarding this weekends performance... Heck... Lets go to the Tale of the Tape
Yeah.... 2.06lbs was leading after a horrendous Day 1 Bite at Newton Lake. However these guys were able to at least bring something to the scales.....
Rob "Ram1212"
Jay's Day 1 Lunker... 1.57lbs
Bills Keeper 1.21lbs....
So... Yes....The fishing at Newton Lake has been very slow since we last visited there back in the Middle of August.

Best Lure: Finess worms; Dropshot;

Day#2 at Cooper River Park for some was even worse. So bad...that we had some 2nd Day No-Shows and early departures....but the show must go on!!!

Congrats again to Jimbo for taking my $$$ and catching better quality Bass vs. your Newton .88lb Bass!!! I know personally you've put your Time on the Water this season... so I tip my hat off to you!
Guys....even with a drastically reduced schedule in 2010 along with the extreme 53+ Days in the 90's, we were still able to compete and Do What we Do!!!
Thanks for making this my 3rd Season as President exciting, enjoyable, and a box of chocolates... Arighty..now I'm starting to sound like Forest Gump!!! Time for some much needed rest, sleep, and next home project.
I'll write more maybe on Monday... I'm Beat!!
Peace,
BN06

Congrats to Jimbo on winning the Classic! Tough one to say the least, and boy is he the king of Drop Shotting! One day I'll get that technique down! And a big congrats to Bill on taking AOY 2010! Nice going Kyle for first in rookie standings. And last but not least thanks BN for another fantastic job as Pres. and John & Jay doing a great job at the scales. If I missed anyone sorry but thank you too!!

I hear ya Jiggen Den and Rob....Greatly appreciated. 
You are the dedicated ones that come out each and every tournament. Although it was a tough Bass catching year for alot of people (including myself), I still feel there's a thing to learn from even a poor outing. I'm still scratching my head on the Newton issue. Hopefully the winter season will allow our favorite lakes to cool off a bit and reload with some nice ones for 2011.

To John and Jay for doing a thankless job with the utmost professionalism! BTW nice finish Jay, Hope that finish carries over to next year!! To Big Al "Joker" thanx for the comic relief! To Dale way to rock Tim's boat, and not coming to Newton.  To Justin "most improved" enough said... To Wayne and Wayne jr I hope to see more of you next year!

Everything well put Jimbo and thanks for the shout out! My hummer thanks you also.
Once a week this club presents me with a chance to forget about the stress of everyday work life and gives me a different/relaxing challenge each week or every other. Even when the bite is tough and I am standing for hours without a hint of fish in the area, I still wasnt thinking about the stress of work and the goal was accomplished. Sometimes stressing/itching about catching a fish is actually a relief if thats all your stressing about at that time. These TX's are a great outlet for me, the drives included. I am sure many of you share the same feeling. Man, it's going to be a long off season! |

congrats Jimbo you did real good this year thanks for all the tips. I'll try not to miss any more tournaments, that might be hard with the twins next year but the boss (wife) says I can fish as of now. lol. Thanks to all for the fun times and thanks to Tim rawdognbail for the use of the boat. I might as well come clean now I am not sure how many times I did this but I know at rainbow lake I was throwing back 12" fish for some reason I thought it was 13" I think you all will get a kick out of that. thanks again for a fun season see you all down the road. |
