Tournaments

June is in the books as we concluded our one-day tournament on Lake Nacogdoches. After heavy considerations this week due to weather and rising lake levels, those that made it out did not disappoint at weigh in including Shane with the year’s largest so far at 9.75. Congrats to all the winners as all anglers caught fish and dealt with the extreme weather conditions from monsoon pour downs to blistering hot sunny skies all in one day of fishing. Some interesting tidbits observed during this tournament…..Our Tour. Dir. shows up in a new Skeeter, second time on the water. Now mind you he’s a season angler and boat operator. From those on hand, this was apparently the ramp activity witnessed. Picture the scene 8 o’clock in the morning raining like mad. John Morse backs Tad Kresta into the lake in his brand spanking new Skeeter.  Tad, who by the way has been fishing for years and been a boat owner for years, and who professionally is managing millions of dollars of property goes to start his brand new boat.  He turned the key nothing happens. He turns the key again and nothing happens. Look on his face is bewilderment and frustration, his brand new boat isn’t operating.  Clay and Rori are looking on, John Morse gets out of the truck to see if he can help.  Rori, who is always helpful and genuinely all-around nice guy holds up his own kills witch cable and says very loud is your kill switch cable connected.  Todd gets out of the Capt. seat goes to a front compartment pulls out his life vest, and says it’s still connected to my life vest.  He plugged in the kill switch cable, and the boat starts perfectly.  Tad with a big smile fishes happily ever after.  Seems there may be training program needed here, something the club may undertake in the future.  On to July, tight lines.
