Lake Waco, event #2 of the season for the anglers within Texas Central Division. We gathered at Lake Waco yesterday morning (2/27/2021) to calm tempatures, zero wind blowing, lake was as smooth as a brand new piece of glass. Picture perfect conditions considering the nasty weather Texas has experienced the last few weeks. Spirits were high and all conversations were seemed to be about water pipes that busted, copious amounts of firewood that were utilized to heat homes, how many hours electricity had been out at one house or another, however all that chatter changed once the park attendant at Airport Beach opened the gates, those thoughts and conversations came to an close and the focus was placed on catching 5 fish and winning a tournament.

We launched after giving thanks to the Lord for such a wonderful morning and the opportunity for us all to gather and compete. We had 18 boats show up to battle it out on Lake Waco and as we all ran to our "secret spots", we were all sure it was going to come together in a big way, 5 bass that would tilt the scales in our favor. To all the competitors surprise we were faced with changes, and by changes I am referring to a fog that settled on the lake around 9:30am and was present and grew thicker until 1:45-2:00pm. It was a very thick fog that certainly limited boat mobility on the water, we also experienced a short period of showers and wind that picked up during all this time. With all the changes in weather, one has to wander how the bite was for these Fishers of Men, well as the weigh in commenced it was obvious that the fish were not liking the weather either... Lake Waco bass just did not bite on this day, it was truly a brutal day trying to convince the pee sized brain of a fish to attack a lure.

The team of Erik Olson and Kory Grelle tied with Patrick Zangarine (who fished the event solo)  for first place. Erik and Kory also obtained Big Bass money for the event and both teams were Bonus Bucks entries, which benefited them with a few extra dollars to carry home.

Brian Washburn and Jacob Washburn were able to secure the second place spot. It was truly a pleasure seeing a youngster fishing with his father and witnessing his smile when he realized how they finished amongst the competition. Brian and Jacob will split a check and will also split bonus bucks entry money as well. 

We ended the day with a wonderful message from Mr. Kelly Barnett.  During his message Kelly referenced another tough day in history for some fisherman who were casting their nets unsuccessfully.......... Thank you for taking the time and putting together such a great message Kelly.
