Cast-A-Wy BassClub NWGA, Lake Lanier DONE

[Bob Smith (Porko)]

We meet at the Center St. Tavern and Grill in Old Town Acworth, GA. the Wednesday before the tournament (Meeting on April 17, 2013). WE require that you pay for the event on or before the Wednesday prior to the Tournament regardless of if you are a member or guest. If you fish as a guest you may do so one time, if you wish to fish another tournament with us, you will need to join the club (which is a worthwhile deal anyway!).
This month we will be fishing Lake Sidney Lanier. The club will be launching out of the Charleston Park Ramp on Six Mile Creek. This is a county park so the CoE pass does not work. I will pass out pay envelopes at the meeting, this Wednesday, so the members can simply drop the envelope in the pay box when they launch (be SURE to put the removable part with the DAY CIRCLED in your windshield before locking up your vehicle!)
The directions are simple also. Most of the folks in this club will likely go through Canton. Take GA20 Eastward then go left on HWY 369. Go past GA 400 and keep going until you see the brown and white "Charleston Park" sign. Turn right and it will dead end at the boat ramp.

What a weigh in!! Today we attacked Lanier with bluebird skies, north-northwest winds, temperatures in the 30s when we started and warming to the 60s by weigh-in. Water temps were around 63 to 65 pretty much everywhere I went today. Slightly stained in the back of the coves with creeks to pretty danged clear, the closer you got the main lake.
There were 20 Cast-A-Way members and 4 guests fishing today out of 15 boats. We brought 101 fish to the scales for a total of 196.98 lbs. That's a 1.95 lb per fish average! 18ea 5-fish limits were brought to the scales. Of those limits, 11 of them were over 10 lbs! I would say that Lanier has a healthy population of fish!

Barry M. had 5th place with 5 fish for 10.80 for $48
4th place was Freddy Wayne H with 5 fish for 10.98 and $72
3rd place went to Terry D. who had 5 fish for 11.20 lbs for $96
I had 2nd place with 5 fish for 11.73 lbs for $120
1st place went to one of our guests, Tom E. with 5 fish for 12.51 lbs for $144.
Big Bass went to Freddy Wayne with a 3.82 lb spotted Bass.
