Message from the President:
Well Claiborne Lake has come and gone. Like most tounament sites, some liked it, some didn't. Friday was a real scorcher wasn't it. Saturday was not to bad, a little overcast, a little rain. Dave Dyess hung right it there tho. I know it had to be tough on him, but he just kept on sweating and fishing like the rest of us. However, I understand he now has a sore butt. Way to go Dave, except for the sore butt that is. Mac also deserves a round of applause for helping Dave thru Friday and Saturday. Now for the "Gas" raffle tickets. ALL ticket stubs and $20.00 per book MUST be turned in at the August 15th meeting.
Repeat - Repeat - Repeate
ALL TICKET STUBS AND $20.00 PER BOOK MUST BE TURNED IN AT THE AUGUST
15th MEETING.
"No excuses accepted"
If for some reason you cant make the August meeting be sure to give your tickets and $20.00 to someone who will. Remember, that is the night of the drawing and you dont want to be responsible for leaving someone out who has bought tickets. So lets all help each other to remember to bring in those ticket stubs aand $20.00 bills, call your friends to remind them.
Until the next meeting,
keep those lines wet.
See you on the water.
Wally
P.S. Proposed changes to the Constitution, ByLaws and Tournament Rules must be in writing and turned in to the
E-Board at the August 15th meeting. They will be published in the news letter for all to read prior
to open discussion at the September 19th meeting. Thanks.........Wally

The water level was normal and stained. The weather forecast was showers. The high temperature for the day reached the low 90's.
At weigh-in their were 53 fish weighed in for a total of 70.85 lbs. Dave Dyess was fishing with Mack Cramer, Dave we were all glad to see you there, great job on your recovery and keep working hard. We are all behind you. After a hard day of fishing it was Brian Metcalf and Paul Sullivan that were boated together and ended up doing a number on some fish.
Brian put a nice limit of fish together for 8.25 lbs and first place, Sully put his first limit of fish in the boat for 5.60 lbs and ended up in fourth place. Cliff Armstrong, fishing out of the back of Fred Raby's boat, brought four fish to the scales for 6.80 lbs and a career high finish of second. Mitch Gardner brought in a limit of fish using worms and crankbaits for 6.20 lbs and third place. Wally Cassiano and Mack Cramer tied for fifth with 5.35 lbs.
