October
8, 2011 – Potomac River
Because of a Triathlon event closing Smallwood
Park and potentially
causing a parking problem at Nanjemoy, the Ratz made the decision to
launch from Leesylvania Park.
Four boats launched from Leesylvania to fish the 6th
club tournament in the Potomac under sunny
skies. The water was stained
with a temperature of 65 deg.
All anglers fishing the open boundary tournament caught
fish. Tom and Dan made the
attempt to travel to Aquia, but a failure in Tom’s motor
curtailed his trip. They ended
up trolling their way back to the ramp, and on the way Tom caught a
limit while a relieved Dan caught his one bass in the final moments of
the tournament. William and Gary
crossed the bay to Mattawoman and found their limits there. William edged Gary for a close 2nd
place finish at the weigh in.
Although both fast and slow fishing produced fish, the
spinnerbait bite won the tournament and lunker for Tom, bringing 12.28
pounds to the scales.
