For the second year in a row, our club trip was to Mattawoman Creek on the Potomac River in Maryland (camping at Smallwood State Park).  This is a location that our club used to take annual trips to in our early days.  The boat groups that attended this year's trip were:  Scott Bowen/Bill Ridel; Bill Duckardt/ Dennis Snyder; Sean Summers/Fred Lentz.  On this trip we held a lunker contests on one day, a three-bass tourney on one day and a five bass tourney on one day.  The first three days of the trip were marked by drizzly, misty conditions and a drop in water temperature.  The sun and warm air temps finally made an appearance near the end of the trip.  In general the fishing was very slow, with all of the boats struggling to catch bass over the 15 inch minimum size.  Each of the three boat groups hosted a dinner for the entire club group.  As usual, a good time was had by all.
