Leslie and Robert Brown win on Lake Bastrop!

The Mr. and Mrs. Bass Club of Austin held it’s first tournament of the 2012 season on the warmer than typical waters of Lake Bastrop.  This was the first time the MMBC held a paper tournament where pictures of the fish on the measuring board must be presented at weigh in.  It worked rather well.  We kicked off the 2012 season with nine teams showing up to challenge the bass in Lake Bastrop despite the cold and windy conditions.  The 2010 Anglers of they Year, Leslie and Robert Brown took top honors on this day.  Since this was a paper tournament, there was no Big Bass money awarded. February takes us to Fayette County lake where we hope to land some of the large bass that Fayette County Lake is known for.

LAKE: Travis

Saturday started with cool temperatures and a little breeze. The fish for the most part must have been on a strict diet because few of them were willing to bite a lure. Of course, there’s always someone who figures out what will trigger a bite and Jesse and Sugein Sanchez did just that. Sugein and Jesse joined the club at the January party so this was their first club tournament. They won the tournament with a total of 8.06 pounds. Fantastic job Sanchez’s. Jerry and Pat Gold brought in 6.92 pounds giving them second place honors. Third was taken by Robert and Lesli Brown with one fish, one 5.37 pound Men’s Big Bass, fish! Fourth place went to the team of Pete and Rosemarie Trevino. Rosemarie took Women’s Big Bass of the tournament.

Eleven teams fished the Travis tournament and although weights were low everyone brought fish to the weigh-in. Considering how the bite has been on Travis that was no small feat and attest to the tenacity of MMBC members! The tournament ended with a stiff, cold, north wind blowing over the lake, nonetheless we had a terrific day.

After the tournament members went to the Iguana Grill for eating and socializing. Next to fishing it’s our best sport. We had fish tales to tell, good food to eat, and great friends to enjoy it all with. The next MMBC tournament is scheduled for February 27th on Choke Canyon Reservoir. The February club meeting will be Tuesday, February 2, see you there.
