The groups that attended this year's trip were: Fred Lentz & Rick Lentz; Scott Bowen & Bill Ridel; Mike Miller Sr, Mike Miller Jr & Jim Miller; Bill Duckardt & Dennis Snyder and John Chattley. (Bill R's son & his buddy also camped next to us.) On this trip we held two lunker contests and one five-bass contest. In general the fishing was fair, with all of the boats getting decent quantity and at least one or two nice sized bass. The water level was 303 to 304 feet which is ideal. The weather was warm and sunny just about every day with only a slight drizzle one night. The biggest bass brought in during one of the competitive sessions was a 3 lb 15 oz bass weighed in by Bill Duckardt. The biggest bass weighed in during the trip was a 5.3 lb fish caught by Mike Miller Jr during one of the non-competitive sessions. At least three other bass over 4 lbs were caught during non-competitive sessions. Fantastic group meals were hosted on the four evenings by four of the groups.
Thursday, May 1 am (Lunker, 15" minimum)
