Congratulations
to Gary Burns for winning the August Tournament held on Lake
Greenwood at Buzzards Roost Landing. Gary brought 2 fish to
the landing for the tournament weighing in at 5.14 lbs. and
had the tournament Big Fish of 4.10 lbs.
The lake level and water flow was lower than normal which
appeared to have a negative affect on the fish. Anglers saw
several large fish floating dead on top of the water. Few
fish were caught which made it a slow day. High temperatures
made for a longer day where many anglers would have found
better things to do.

During
the August 11th meeting the club voted to grant meeting
points to a few members who attended the Town Creek Club
meeting because of conflicting schedule. This was a one time
points issue and will not be granted in the future. When
there is a conflict of meeting dates and times, then the
members may decide to attend parts of both or reschedule one
or both meeting times to accomodate attendance. With this
exception of the rules for this one tournament, it was
decided to grant all participants who attended the meeting
and all of the members who fished the tournament meeting
points.
There was also an error made on the July meeting points by
granting only 5 points for the meeting instead of 10 points.
This has been corrected and YTD results have been posted for
July and August. I apologize for the error.

As one of the newest members, Rickey Overman shared his
observations and a story of one trip with his Dad. He shared
that his Dad had especially enjoyed the prayer on the water
before the blast off and agian after weigh-in at the landing.
He noticed that this club was a very open, accepting of new
people and visitors.
Once
again Stan Harmon brought us all to laugh at ourselves for
some of the silly and sometimes unconventional things we do
while fishing for bass.
Houston
Brown was awarded First Place Champion as the points leader
and "Angler of the Year" for the most weight for

Millbrook's Own Pairs up to Win the Tournament of Champions
Team Tournament at Lake Guntersville Alabama !
Don Nesbitt
paired with Tim Cody to win the Tournament of Champions Team
Tournament sponsored by Champion Boats.
Here's what Don had to say....
To all, This past week-end my pursuit of little
green fishies turned into the BIG WIN that I wondered if I'd
ever experience. I went down to Lake Guntersville
Alabama to fish a Tournament of Champions Team
Tournament. I fished with Tim Cody from Tenessee and
new found fishing friend (we met on the internet and had
fished together one other time). Anyway Tim and I were
able to find some fish (and catch them for a change for
me). On Saturday we had 16.91 lbs which was good for
5th place going into day 2 when we brought a sack to the
scales of a little over 19 lbs to win by 4 oz or so.

The Interview
All of our fish
were caught on plastic frog/rat baits thrown and fished on
big mats of millfoil grass. This is a very exciting
kind of fishing (topwater) because the strikes are so
visible. We would set the hook and battle the fish
through, over, under the matted grass. Anyway sorry to
load you email box with such large photos, I hope that you
enjoy them.
Peace and God Bless, Don

A few years
ago I had the priviledge of fishing the PVA Bass tournament
on Clarks Hill at the Fort Gordon Recreation area. It was a
two day event where the boats and non-boaters (Vets) fished
the first day as a team event and then the boat served as a
guide for his partner the second day. It was one of those
rare opportunities that I was blessed with and shall remember
always. The tournament was first class from the pre-fish
meeting to the final awards dinner. I remember my partner
tied on a Super Spook at the first stop of the day and used a
7 foot rod to launch the lure at least 100 yards (or it
seemed). As he began retrieving the lure I remember thinking
to myself, this will never work under these conditions. About
five feet from where the retrieve began the water exploded
with a splash that seemed to rock the boat. I looked back at
my partner and the rod was bent in half and my first thought
was "he's got a striper". His lure was so far out
away from the boat I made another cast waiting for him to
bring the fish closer so I could net it for him. Just a few
seconds later he said "I think I'm hung". I turned
to look back at him and immediately a fish (that looked to be
in the 8 pound rage) jumped just a few feet behind my motor
and spit the lure out. My partner was still holding the rod
tight as he looked where the fish had been and spotted his
lure drifting in the water a few feet from the boat. He
turned his head towards me and with a calm voice said I think
that's my lure. I didn't know what to say, so I told him
let's re-tie and try it again. It only took him a few minutes
to pull in his line while I netted his lure. He re-tied and
made the same cast. Again, after moving the bait only a few
feet another explosion occured and the fight was on. This
time he landed the fish and it weighed in at 4 lbs. 3 oz.
second big fish for the day. It began raining and the rest of
the day was a challege for any fisherman, but my partner
refused to go back to the landing. We continued to fish a few
rocky points I know and he managed to learn how to catch
three more fish on a Carolina Rig. He finished one place out
of the money, but I still remember how happy he was because
he said that was the most fish he had ever weighed in at a
PVA tournment before.
It was the best $50.00 I ever spent fishing.

elusive for some of the fishermen who fished the upper

Carolina side of the lake near Parksville, SC.
Clouds and cooler tempetures threatened rain early but
managed to hold off until the sun broke through with rising

that early spring. The cold front which pushed through late
Friday lingered until late morning making the bite some what
slower than in practice.
The club had 21 boats and 42 members fishing the tournament
which matches our previous record. A total of 4 limits was
weighed in, with some good fish being brought to the scales.

03/22/2003 Clark Hill Tournament
The March tournament was held
Saturday the 22nd at the Parksville Landing on Clarks Hill Lake at Thurmond Dam. Parksville Landing is located on the South
Carolina side of the lake near Parksville, SC.
A perfect spring day is the only way to describe the weather.
Brisk morning air, lots of sunshine and just a little breeze
to keep it from getting too warm. I for one was ready for
such a day after several tournaments held in rainy, stormy
weather.
With this back drop the club had a excellent turn out. A
couple of limits were caught but with about half of the
anglers finding a few fish, others found it hard to find a
pattern. Those who did not catch fish found it a joy just to
be on the lake on such a nice day.
The majority of the fish were caught in 5 to 6 feet on
Carolina Rigs using lizards. Some anglers found fish hitting
small crank baits (I heard shad raps).
Congratulations
to the top five:
Barry Beasley won with 5 fish weighing in
with 10-13 lbs.
Elzie Peals took second with 5 fish weighing
8-10 lbs. with big fish of 4-3 lbs.

6-15 lbs. with big fish of 5-4 lbs.

02/22/2003 Clark Hill Tournament
The February tournament was
held Saturday the 23th at the Hawe Creek Landing on Clarks Hill Lake at Thurmond Dam. Hawe Creek Landing is located on the South
Carolina side of the lake near McCormick, SC.
The threat of thunder storms was in the air which proved to
be inevitable. The rain held off until the tournament was
well under way, as most of the anglers hoped the storm would
skirt around us. By late morning the rain settled in a steady
and constant downpour. The storm would prove to be more than
even an avid die hard angler would endure. As the storm
rolled in with gusts of 45 mph all of the anglers were forced
to find some type of shelter to protect them from the sharp
lightning. The worst of the storm blew over in about 2 hours.
The anglers were able to salvage about 3 hours of fishing
during the afternoon to finish out what most considered to be
a rough but memorable day. As with any tournament some
anglers find fish and this tournament was no different.
Although no one caught a limit there were a few good strings
at the weigh in.
Don Nesbitt won with 4 fish weighing in with 8-9 lbs.
Robin Dillman took second with 2 fish weighing 5-6 lbs with
big fish of 4-3 lbs.
Larry Young had 3rd with 1 fish weighing 3-10 lbs.
Harry Harmon finished 4th with 3 fish weighing 3-4 lbs.
Ken Boyle had 1 fish weighing 2-15 to take 5th place.
The next meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm on Thursday, March 20th at Millbrook Baptist Church. Our next tournament is scheduled for March 22nd on Clarks Hill Lake at Thurmond Dam at Parksville Landing at Parksville, SC. The tournament time will be voted on at the meeting.
