NEWCOMERS GET THE BIG WEIGHT FOR THE WIN
Joseph and I were anticipating over 21 boats for our 3rd Semi-Pro event of the season. Boy, were we surprised when we were launching 28 boats ready for a day of tournament fishing. It was a cold calm morning and the docks had a thin layer of ice on them. Looking out onto the lake we could see that it was going to be a slow go out to that promised morning spot. The fog was thick and lying low on the water. Even with mother-nature giving us a bit of trouble we got everyone out on time. Thanks to Markley Cove the day for us was full of preparation for weigh in and providing over 60 people with lunch. Markley Cove provided us with a check to compensate for the additional fees we pay to hold an event on Lake Berryessa. Joseph and I were able to provide our staff, Markley Cove staff, and most important our participants with Polish Sausages, chips, cookies, and drinks during weigh in. The spring like weather was perfect for such a lunch. The sun was out making it a nice warm day with no wind to speak of. 3 p.m. hit and we were all set up and ready for our first team to weigh in. The first 8 or so boats came in with weights hitting 8 pounds and below. It seemed to have been a rough day and we were wondering if we were going to see any big weights. Well sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for it to happen. Once we got our first bag above 9 pounds weighed in it was out of control. 9.12 pounds won the â€œOne Out of the Moneyâ€
