Holly Creek Landing, Alabama River
was our July tournament.
We had 19 boats, 20 members and 3 guests brave enough
to try the heat…and boy was it HOT!!!
When we arrived two other clubs showed
up right behind us, one inconsiderate enough to blast off
in Holly creek and run through our club swamping Andy and
a couple of others. Mack announced “we have a new Cliffie”, as Jim
Bell left his live well pumps on and filled the bilge with
water. On to the river. Artie and I stopped to work a Ray Heitland hole
first thing. As short
time later we saw Andy and Big Rich abandoning their first
spot and heading up the river. We moved on to an old favorite of mine and Artie
boated one a few minutes later I followed with my first. Reports from John B and Walter both still looking.
By now the sun was up and the heat was on.
Mack stopped and told us his woes, he lost 3 fish
and a favorite crank bait to a Grinnell. By 12:30 some were already headed to find shade
or AC. Finally weigh in time arrived. Only 15 members and 2 guests caught fish. Andy, however did provide some good entertainment.
He pumped out his livewell to his weigh bag and headed to
the scales. He presented
his water and water bottle to Mack to weigh…oh, forgot his
fish, they are still in the dry well in his boat at the
other end of the parking lot, he rushed back and found his
1 fish and just made it back before Mack closed the scales. I guess that is a first, and probably hands
down a HAMMER! Oh, yeah back to fishing. Wayne took 3rd place with 6 fish
9.71, Bobby 2nd the only 7 fish limit 11.35 and
Big Rich took top honors with 6 fish weighing 12.31.
that makes year to date standings take a big turn
with 3 months to go anything can happen . Did I mention we all need to thank
Billy for placing this one on the schedule.
It was hot, hot and hot and the bite was slow, slow,
slow. One other thing, thanks Mack for helping
Sarge when his brakes locked up on the way home. It is good to travel as a group so help is available
if needed.
