Our single biggest fish also gets added seperately if we participate in our Big Bass Weight Ticket tourney.

Big shout out to the guys participating in this!

6-13-09: PABC Monthly Tourney Lake Ivie

The PABC held its monthly tourney at OH Ivie Reservoir on 6-13-09. Due to the 100+ degree weather, we started at Safe Light until 12 PM. I got a great intro to the lake as I followed Tad Box's advice and caught everything on a white topwater just north of Concho Park. It was great for 2 guys in a plastic boat.

Scott Gagliano and I got there very early in the AM.



As mentioned in the video clip, our attention was drawn to some activity going on over at a large tent nearby in Concho Park. Being naturally curious, I went to investigate and met Mike "Stubby" Arnold out of Midland who was kind enough to visit with me about their organization.



Dawn broke and we got started. We fished and I got a hit on my 3rd cast on the little topwater. I even managed to catch the 2.7 on my 5th cast (I've really got to get a hat cam).

We were expecting 15-20 MPH winds, but they never developed. Wind was nice as the big barges made large wakes for us to handle. I can honestly say that I had no problems as it was for the kids and it was cool seeing them waving to us in their orange shirts as they passed on by. Water was really clear (about 4-5 feet visibility) and 80 degrees climbing to 82 by noon.

Ivie was pretty good to us. Just an interesting note on the lake. you can have 2 fish under 14" on a stringer so long as the rest are over 18". I imagine that they do this to cull the smaller fish population as to help the big fish get bigger.

I caught about 6 fish while Scott caught 1 and lost a monster on a worm.

We wrapped it up and reported to weigh in.



We had a funny event occur. Scott and I knew that with the water being 80+ degrees we couldn't keep fish on a stringer and expect them to survive so we obtained an aerator and cooler and made a live well. We had 2 fish in the live well when we accidentally jostled the live well and I noted water in the boat; we had knocked open the spout on the cooler. Thinking quickly, we went to shore and sealed the spout, but we had taken on a good amount of water and with the live well, we were cramped. I decided to chance quickly opening the live well to get the aerator out and use it as a bilge on the water. We moved quickly, but the bass were quicker. Both got out and Scott managed to get the 3 pounder back in, but the little one made it. I can blame no one but myself. We've all heard stories like this, but I got to live it. Gee, lucky me!

Point of interest as I will be stepping down as record keeper of the PABC and focusing on the reporting aspect.



We had a blast on the lake!




Results are below.

1. Morris, Jeff 2 14/16, 2 14/16, and 6 for a total of 11 12/16 (Big Bass)
2. Cavaness, Roy 3 1/16, 5 3/16, and 2 1/16 for a total of 10 5/16

4-25-09 PABC Monthly Tourney: Twin Buttes

LOL!

OK! Not my best intro!

Truth is that it was a great tourney! We had 16 fishermen heading out to take on the wind and great green monsters! This is a great bunch of guys and they have been infinitely patient with my foolishness. Also, I record the weights and keep the records.

Besides the usual suspects, we had some guests who promised to make this an interesting tourney. Wendell Ramsey, a veteran tournament participant and Outdoors Writer for the Standard Times, was invited by yours truly for this event. Dave Snyder, another tournament vet and heck of a nice guy, was fishing with us and Bud Swafford who had the dubious honor of being one of Wendell's roll models and use to take him fishing when Wendell was a boy. How cool!

We met up at 6 AM and it was a cool sight.

The weather was windy with gusts up to 25 MPH. Water temp was 69 and it was expected to be overcast for the better part of the day. I kinda thought we would see a great day of fishing.

We saw many fishermen flogging the water and we caught a lot of fish. At the end of the day, the standings came out.

1. Ramsey, Wendell 4 15/16, 2 10/16, and 3 12/16 for a total of 11 5/16 (Big Bass)
2. Snyder, Dave 3 3/16, 3 5/16, and 4 5/16 for a total of 10 13/16
3. Minor, Scott 2 10/16, 3 4/16, and 4 4/16 for a total of 10 2/16
4. Dorman, Mike 3 8/16, 2 2/16, and 2 8/16 for a total of 8 2/16
5. Palko, Chip 2 2/16, 1 14/16, and 4 1/16 for a total of 8 1/16
6. Leeper, Jay 2 15/16, 2 1/16, and 2 6/16 for a total of 7 6/16
7. Morris, Jeff 1 13/16, 2 1/16, and 2 4/16 for a total of 6 2/16
8. Cavenass, Roy 1 13/16, 2, and 2, for a total of 5 13/16
9. Lucas, Jesse 1 5/16 and 3 14/16 for a total of 5 3/16
10. Swafford, Bud 1 8/16, 1 11/16, and 1 11/16 for a total of 4 14/16
11. Witt, Bob 1 7/16, 1 13/16, and 1 5/16 for a total of 4 9/16
12. Day, Jim 2 and 1 8/16 for a total of 3 8/16
13. Gagliano. Scott 3 6/16 for a total of 3 6/16
14. Dorman, Bryan 3 5/16 for a total of 3 5/16
15. Carter, Randy 1 10/16 for a total of 1 10/16
16. Cavaness, Stephen 1 5/16 for a total of 1 5/16

We had a great time and a lot of fun. Thanks to the PABC for letting me cover the event.
