Senior December 13,
2011 Tournament
at Oak Creek Lake
To quote an American icon Gomer Pyle, “Golly”. At least that is what he would have said if he attended the weigh in for the Still Waters Seniors Tournament on December 13th. Nine hardy folks participated in drizzle, foggy and cloudy conditions. It reminded me of the Carl Sandburg poem, “The fog creeps in on little cat feet.” There was no creeping up to the scales for three of the contestants. They whalloped the rest of us. Robert Halford took home $135 cash as he was the stringer winner with 18.58 lbs. which included a pair of seven pounders. Taking bragging rights to second place and $45 cash for big bass was Larry Gathers with a stringer of 17.30 lbs. and big bass of 8.48 lbs. Richard Rhodes had a very respectable 14.55 lbs. with a 7.39 lb big bass. Mike Pruitt and I were ”also rans” with stringers around 1/3 of the winning total. Others released their fish prior to weighing. -- Smitty

December 3,
2011 Tournament
at Possum Kingdom Lake
The December tournament at Possum Kingdom Lake was cancelled due to high winds and pounding waves on the launch ramp. The low water conditions at PK restricted our use of the ramps at the lake to one ramp facing a strong south wind. The high winds had been blowing several hours and radar showed a line of rain and thundershowers forming to the west of the lake. In the interest of safety, the last tournament of the year was cancelled reluctantly.
