"It Never Happens To Me!!!"

We have all fished in a tournament and came in to hear someone talk about how they

were catching fish from several areas. Sometimes they are even culling keeper fish

when you couldn't buy a keeper fish! Well, on Saturday Feb. 11th at Lake Sam

Rayburn, Keith & Jana Cole came in with five largemouth weighing 15.76 lbs. to take

1st Place in C.A.S.T. Southeast's second tournament of the 2012 season! Working

back and forth between three separate pods of fish Keith & Jana kept their bite going

all day building their stringer with each fish. At weigh-in Keith said, "this never

happens to me", but today it did! All of us have had a great day of fishing, that's why

we keep going back. The days of not catching fish make the days of loading the boat all the more gratifying. Congratulations to Keith & Jana!!!

Also having a great day on Sam Rayburn were Larry & Joyce Coleman. Larry & Joyce had

a five fish limit weighing 13.21 lbs. including the Big Bass of the day; a nice 5.61 lbs. fish!

The Coleman's are on a roll already in 2012 taking 2nd Place this weekend to go with their

3rd Place finish two weeks ago at Sam Rayburn. We'll see if they can keep the mojo going

at Toledo Bend Reservoir in March. Good Job Guys!! Keep it going!

Taking 3rd Place for the tournament were a new couple to C.A.S.T. Southeast, Ryan Glass &

Patricia Kilgore, they also had a nice limit of bass weighing 13.08 lbs. This handsome stringer was caught in-spite of the extremely cold and miserable weather at this event. The wind blew almost 15 mph out of the north all day until weigh-in. Morning temperatures were in the mid 30s and with the wind it felt like it was in the low 20s. Ryan &

Patricia braved the cold, wind & waves to preserve a good day on a bad weather day. They will

be strong competitors for the rest of the year!

Following their win on Sam Rayburn two weeks earlier Donnie & Juanita Robinson brought a

limit of fish in to take 4th Place today. They reported not having a fish in the livewell before 2

pm then catching 11.70 lbs. of fish on carolina-rigs in just 30 minutes. That is the way to adapt

and salvage a tough day of fishing. Experience gives you confidence and the Robinson's used

their experience wisely! Excellent Job!

Also collecting a nice check were Jeff Bunch & Tara Mesara with five fish weighing 11.05 lbs. Tara is new to bass tournaments but she has already proved she is a tough competitor in the last two C.A.S.T. events. Keep casting Tara!

C.A.S.T. Southeast's next tournament will be Saturday, March 17th at Toledo Bend Reservoir. We will conduct registration from our motel room at Fin & Feather Resort beginning at 5:00 am. Trailering will be allowed once you are registered and livewells checked. Weigh-in will be near the ramp at Fin & Feather. If you have questions or need more information please feel free to contact us anytime. We look forward to seeing you on the lake!
