Day shoot????... Let the challange begin!:bash:

This will be the first and only tournament on clinton lake this year. is it going to be cookout as well? West ramp is that where we had it before? Hope we can find 6 carp.

never been to the lake....would it be worth going if i didnt get big motor fixed and just had troller?

Poole won a tournament there...from that ramp...with only a troller...so I'd say YES. :)

Well I am not one to keep a secret... I have a secret weapon for the tournament.....

Looks like trouble to me. leave it to ken to bring a ringer. Joe, Clinton lake is typically a good lake to shoot. Has lots of common carp. You might see a buffalo or two but that is it. no gar, grassies etc. That time of year most of the speed boats should be gone. Should be a good hurrah for the season.

We will have to see if anyone is interested in a cook out. If enough people let me know before hand...

But thats Poole! I think im gonna have to miss this one...with only the troller working if i even get around to fixing it. Then there is a huge UFC fight on that i got some money on. Next year ill try to be a contender more for all the shoots!

Darn, would love to be there but will be down south in Arkansas. I hope you have a great shoot and post plenty of pics.

I don't have anyone to shoot with. I thought maybe someone might have room for me on there boat. If anyone wants another shooter give me a call. 217 720 1846. By the way I know Clinton lake like the back of my hand if that helps

Well Looks as if I have another ace in the hole.... LOL...

Kendall, looks like we are going to have a small turn out. at least we can beat up on ken tho. Doubt if a cook out would be worth wile.

So lets see those results and congrats to the Danville Boyz for laying the wood to the rest of the entries.

I do not have all the names and numbers. SURE CRISTINE WILL POST THEM SOON.
Can tell you that there were only 4 boats not counting the CIRFC FAN TOON. Our winning 6 fish was 36.1 pounds which averages 6# per fish is way above the average typical fish foe clinton. The main point we beat Ken & Jarrad (his ace in the hole) by a pound & half. We did have a big fish and most fish side bet going. We again managed to nose them out by around a pound with a 8.3 pound carp. most numbers was a non-club member boat with 55 fish of which about 15 were tiny shad but they all count. most boats averaged around 15-17 fish. lots of pull off's we had 10. water was great. clear little wind, most of the day no sun tho. I'd do it again in a minute.

In the books...
 

Well it looks like Ken couldn't keep the Aces in the boat. :s13:

Let's see...

There were 4 boats. We had a $20 per boat entry fee for numbers and big fish plus the "coveted" Brass Carp trophy.

First place in numbers with a $90 payout went to Charlie Robbins boat with 55 fish.

Big fish was 8.1 lbs and was taken by Billy K. that paid a whopping $90 prize.

Tracy's boat won the "worst fish barrel" award and netted them a $50 prize.

And now for the news you've all been waiting for...drum roll please.

The Brass Carp was won by Johnny B. with a 6 fish weight of 35.6 lbs (I may be off with this weight)

I'm sad I couldn't shoot it. I have to try to get my shoulder working again for deer season. :(

Thanks to the participants and of course, Kendall!

As you all can see how clear the water was. It was the best shooting conditions that I have ever seen at clinton. Still did not keep us from missing our share. I think it was too clear, as I kept shooting high.
