FUN ~ FAMILY ~ FRIENDS "Results" ~ Clarks Hill ~ November 1, 2014 A totally wonderful day, spent in fellowship with some die hard anglers that showed up for the tournament with a “National Weather Service Wind Advisory" already in place. The event started the evening before, with 14 of us meeting for dinner at El Portal Mexican Restaurant. Then, in the morning, with rain gear on and boats in tow, we met at the ramp. All enjoyed some visiting and “enjoying” a wet morning. Since the wind advisory was up, we had to cancel the bass fishing but, all agreed to meet at the Hickory Knob Restaurant for breakfast and fun. In the SC Couples tradition, we had prizes for everyone. A lot of teams saw the wind advisory and stayed home. Prayers for safe conditions for our next tournament. Yo-Zuri baits were a hot prize item! Check out Yo-Zuri

Prefishing for the Clarks Hill tournament was good... Caught this nice 6 pound 4 ounce bass using my Lew's reel and my Kissel Krafts Custom Rod. Made a cast with my spinnerbait to the hydrilla weeds and on the way out, passed some isolated weeds, and this nice bass bit.
CONGRATULATIONS to our South Carolina team,
Dale and Victoria Goff

Yo-Zuri "3DB" Pencils are the featured item on our gift bags for the June 7th tournament.
This is the bait that Don and I had a nice limit on Lake Keowee, in less than 30 minutes. Great bait and thankful to Yo-Zuri for letting us give these "3DB" Pencils, a great topwater bait, to our South Carolina ABA Couples teams. Available at Cabela's. Check them out at www.yo-zuri.com.
