Hello Folks,

On Saturday 3-25-23 we had our opening event on Lake Chesdin launching out of Seven Springs Marina. We ha 8 boats show up to the landing that morning for registration at 0600. We had anticipated a few more boats, however I guess the sketchy weather and the Bass Master Classic being the same weekend held some teams out. Boats were checked as they rolled in, and they registered at the ramp.  Boats were launched and staged inside the no wake zone. We had a real treat as Jacob Krahenbill one of our former youth anglers came back as an adult angler with a new youth member which was fishing his first ever bass fishing tx . Jacob delivered our message on his boat geared towards our youth. His message was about appreciating what God had made for us and enjoying what was around them and also enjoying their company and making memories . Also let them know God was always there and watching over them. After the message we prayed for the safety of our anglers and their safe return. We then played our National Anthem and saluted our country. All eight boats were released to fish for 5 fish 12" limit. Anglers were due back in at 1300.  The stage was set for weigh in and the rain rolled in about 0930 just as everything was set up.  We had one team return to the ramp to get a fresh set of cloths, However the young lady persevered after the change and continued to fish.  Team Walt  and Jack Emmerson had some bad luck as their lower unit failed on them . They were able to keep fishing and limp back in safely .

All eight teams returned on time for a trailered weigh-in. 5 out of 8 teams brought fish to the scales.  A pizza lunch was served at the weigh in as well as our tx raffle table.  As the tallies were computed folks enjoyed lunch and the raffle with several nice prizes awarded. 

Eight boats were in the derby in which we paid out two spots and we had 5 boats in bonus bucks.
