What a day on Tims! First we had a great turnout for the first tourney of 11 adults and 4 juniors. The weather was supposed to be closer to 50 but the front dipped south and whipped us all day long. It also made the fishing very tough all day. None of the juniors turned in fish and voted to get their $15 dollars back at the end of the day. I gave them the chance to draw for the $40 and $20 but I'm sure they all felt they deserved some kind of pay for the miserable day. All juniors received tackle packs courtsey of Castle's Outdoors in Whitwell.
On the adult side Brent Sain took first place with 3 fish totalling 7.57. New member John David Meeks got the second place check with 2 for 5.96 and he also took big fish with a 3.13. Jake Davis took home third place (enough for gas he said) with 1 fish for 2.21. Richard Martinez was the only other angler to turn in a fish with 1 for 1.05.
We also had other folks come to the ramp at the end of the day asking info about membership. So I'm looking for this to be a great year for the Tennessee district.
Our next tourney is on Nickajack on February 21 and we will launch from the Marion County Park ramp at safe daylight. If you have any questions feel free to give Dave a call at 931-235-6216
