June 2015 Newsletter
The picture on the cover of this month’s newsletter was taken by
Bro. Gary at Lake Jordan and is just one of the scenic views this
great fishery has to offer. It really exemplifies the splendor of
God’s creation. It’s so scenic; I decided to use it again.
Our turnout for the June tournament on Perdido River was good
despite the hot weather and slightly stained water. Nineteen
fishermen (and women) blasted off for their favorite honey holes
on this sometimes stingy fishery.
Crawford Odom and his partner, John Werdann, didn’t run too far
early in the morning but were zipping up and down the river in
the afternoon. I don’t know it they were looking for fish or trying
to keep Big John cool but it paid off. The team finished in first
place with five fish weighing in at 7.73 lbs. Bro. Crawford also
had the tournament lunker at 3.22 lbs. Second place went to the
one man team of Jeff Weaver whose four fish came in at 5.53 lbs.
Another angler fishing alone finished in third place when Greg
Smith weighed in two nice fish totaling 5.36 lbs. The final prizewinning position went to the team of Michael and Melissa
Johnson whose five fish stringer tipped the scales at 4.37 lbs. I
don’t know whether to call them Johnson and Johnson or the
M&Ms.
All totaled, the club caught 34 fish weighing a total of 41.19 lbs.
All fish were returned to the river alive.
Our next tournament is our annual cookout and bible study at
Live Oak Landing on July 18th. The pre-fish meeting is scheduled
for July 12th.
See you there.
