Dog Days ended the 5th day of September. The song birds has been quiet so long, but now, by the 15th of September, they will begin to sing their songs. I miss them so much.
The Jack Wingate Thursday Night Big Fish Tournament hosted by the Hydrilla Gnats Bass Club out of Wingate’s Lunker Lodge was won by Joey Sloan with a big 7 ¾ lbs. Bass. I don’t think he slept at all Thursday nite, nore tetched the ground all day Friday. He is 11 years of age.
The Georgia Bass Federation Nation Youth Tournement held out of Wingate’s on Saterday was won by our own Nic Jeter with 10.93 lbs. and he had the Big Fish at 4.79 lbs. Dawson Lenz took second with 10.09 lbs. and his Big Fish weighed 4.52 lbs.
There has been lots of Bream and Shellcrackers taken on Crickets and Worms. That’s a whole lot of beds up and down the lake. Catfish did good on Wigglers this week, some as long as 18 inches long. We have had over all a very good week and then Gator season opened Saterday. We have pics of the first 2 to come into Wingate’s, one was 8.2 feet and the other was 10.5 feet. That was a rite sizeable lizard.
