Thanks goes out to Florence Baptist Church for hosting our Friday night meeting.  They served us a delicious supper of spaghetti, salad, and cookies.  The meal was followed by a time of music and worship.  We had 41 teams at the meeting.  One present rededicated their life to Christ. 

Our 41 teams kicked off our season on Wilson lake with fairly nice weather.  It was partly cloudy with lots of wind and stained water.  FIshing was tough for some teams and patterns from earlier in the week seemed to no longer be working.

1 - David Surratt and Jeff Surratt with 29.32 pounds

2 - Tony Harvey and Donny Beck with 26.49 pounds

3 - Pride Weaver and Austin Weaver with 24.68 pounds

4 - Chaz McMahan and Jason Smith with 23.91 pounds

5 - Martin McCravy and Kyle Moody with 23.77

6 - Gabby Tate and Bradley Cross with 21.73

7 - Andrew Lambert and Lacey Lambert with 20.69 pounds

8 - Mike Crump and Jeff Cooper with 19.6 pounds

9 - Jim Barnette and Jonathan Barnette wit h18.35 pounds

Big fish went to Martin McCrayand Kyly Moody at 6.98 pounds.

Looking forward to our next tournament on Wheeler Lake with our Friday night meeting held at Lindsay Lane Baptist Church on 3/23/18.  The address is 1300 Lindsay Lane S in Athens, AL.  Registration starts at 5:30 pm.  Remember that late registration fees apply so get your entry fee postmarked by 3/16.
