It was a cool overcast day as eight teams blasted off from the Harpers City Ramp. Except for a five minuet sprinkle, during the mid morning the rain escaped us. The wind picked up out of the north and made for a somewhat chilly day on the water; but that didn't stop three out of the eight teams from carding a five fish limit. Congratulations to team Ahrens, Tim and Tom, on their first place finish, scoring five fish for a total of 21.29 pounds along with big fish at 5.39 pounds ! Following in second was the team of Scott Schipper and Kevin Belz with a five fish score card of 18.32 pounds, and second place big fish at 4.07 pounds ! In third place was the team of Greg Azbill and Grant Rowe, with a five fish limit of 11 pounds ! Following in fourth place was Jim Kobliska and Jay Pendleton with one fish for 1.69 pounds ! And rounding out the top five was the team of Craig Schmitt and Matt McElree with one fish for 1.32 pounds ! It was another successful CVWC tournament ! It was good to see a couple of "old teams" back on the water along with a "new team". Our next tournament is May 8th at Clear Lake. This is the time for all of you "Lake Lunkers" that have been sitting on the fence to come out and show those "river rats" how its done ! See ya on the water !
