Chris Neely and Andy Koundourakis placed 6th and 8th places in the Georgia Top 12 on Lake Oconee in November and will go to Lake Gaston April 1st thru 4th, 2009. They are the Hydrilla Gnat's top line of fishermen.

Randy and Eddie Ditto placed 1st and 2nd in the Poor Man's Bass Trail on Saterday. The fishen was tough, the weather cold. The water has been above Norman and logs coming down the Flint is a hard thing to dodge and maintain being up on plane.

We had a close neighbor, W.C. Johnson, fishen from his dock, pitchen a Crappie Jig on 4 pound test line, hook into and landed a 7 lbs. Bass from his dock. That, my friends, is a miracle on Lake Seminole.

We have had lots of good catches of Crappie taken on Minnows and Jigs, some shallow and some deep. It doesn't make sense why so much difference in depth.

Nic Jeter and family have had a great week on Ducks. Yours truly expects to get 4 or 5 of them fresh killed Ducks. Wood Ducks & Ringnecks to me are the best, they both eat lots of acorns and that makes them taste good.

The Hydrilla Gnat's Bass Club's 12" to 14" Slot Limit Classic went like this: Mike Sloan came in 1st with 6.63 lbs., Andy Koundourakis came in 2nd with 5.83 lbs., Mike Prindle came in 3rd with 3.97 lbs., Chris Neely came in 4th with 1.10 lbs. and Nick Brown came in 5th with .86 lbs. They had a great time with that one.

We wish to let folks know that on the 24th of January at the Shrine Club on east 84 at 9:30am, Orion Lodge and other Mason's will be processing kids with the following: teeth impressions, pictures, fingerprints and DNA samples. This will be put on a DVD and handed to the parents. All families with kids need to take advantage of this.

W.C. Johnson, of Recovery, GA with a 7 lbs. Bass he caught on a 4 lbs. test line with a Crappie Jig off of his dock.
