We were so excited to get the 2017 Tournament Season started this past weekend, especially after the late winter storm. Spring has sprung, the trees are blooming and the weather was perfect for a tournament on the Potomac! Marbury Baptist was amazing as usual with their hospitality; they always welcome us with a warm heart and wonderful meal. A huge thank you to all those at Marbury Baptist for their continued support. Kevin Weston was our guest speaker and provided a great message for the anglers to start their weekend with. Thank you Kevin for coming out and sharing your message with us!
We were hoping that the warm weather would wake up the bass however; it was a tough day on the Potomac. They were not as eager to play as we all hoped for. Shawn Skobel and Gary Crayton found the sweet spot and brought in a 5 fish limit and a total weight of 19.72 lbs. They also had the big fish for the day weighing in at 5.37 lbs. Second place was secured by Tom Wood and Joe Riccio with a total weight of 17.91 lbs. Third place was taken home by Petie Griffin and Brandon Cord with a total weight of 13.76 lbs.
Though the fish weren't fiercely biting it was still a great day on the water and great fellowship. Looking forward to the next tournament to be held on the Upper Bay out of Tydings Marina on 22 April. Hope to see everyone there!
