The groups that attended this year's trip were: Fred Lentz/Rick Lentz/Greg Lentz; Scott Bowen/Bill Ridel; Mike Miller Sr/Esteban Pafarias; Bill Duckardt/ Dennis Snyder/Jimmy Ohono; Jim Miller/Mark Edmeads; John Chattley/John Lauria; and Dave Lloyd/Howard Nuttal. On this trip we held one lunker contest and one five-bass contest. In general the fishing was sporadic, with all of the boats struggling to put a pattern together and get more than a few fish. The water level was 300 which is not too bad. The weather was cool and damp on most of the days with a hard rain one night and during one lunch. The wind didn't kick up much on this trip. This year, due to the size of the overall crowd, we had each group do their own meals.
Thursday, April 26 (Lunker, 14" minimum)
