Wilson Lake 5-8-04

There were 9 teams competing for $500 in Cash and it only took 54 Pounds to win.....Thats 5 fish around a 10 Lb average......which is low for Wilson in a cat tournament....The cats were caught in various places in different water depths and no real pattern was found by any of the anglers....No water was being generated out of Wheeler and it was hot to say the least....But everyone did have a blast and there were four 20 lbers weighed in the biggest being 24.....The winning team was SCA Members Richard Woodruff and James Azbell, they also took Big Cat....They won a total of 522 dollars for their catch, and have been doing very well through out the year.

Guntersville Lake 4-17-04

With bright blue sky's, 15 MPH winds, and no water being generated by TVA.....this made for a tuff day of fishing on Guntersville lake.....Along with the fact that Guntersville can be a tough lake for catfisherman most of the time......It took two fish that weighed in at 35 lbs. 13 OZ. to get first, caught by Sammy and Mike Mitchell......the team also got Big Cat with a 26.4 Blue Cat....these fish were caught on cut skip-jack in 15-25 ft of water near Scottsboro....only one Team managed a five fish limit, and more channels were weighed in than anything. Come out and Join us at Mcfarland Park on Pickwick Lake next Saturday from 2-10 P.M.......There will be fun for all and I anticipate to see several cats in the 25-50 lb range.

Wheeler Lake March 27, 2004

Another great SCA event with beautiful weather, calm waters, and huge cats caught. With a large crowd gathered at the weigh in site, partly due to a large bass tournament weighing in only 30 minutes prior to our weigh in. The crowd got an eye full to say the least. With the first few 30 pounder's getting weighed in, the bass anglers jaws dropped, some saying how can you land those. Then the team of Richard Woodruff and James Azbell brought in a 60 lb Blue Cat and everyone was amazed, then they got out a 75 lb blue then another nice fish for a 3 fish total weight of 168 pounds. Needles to say they took first and big cat. Several more nice fished were weighed including a 42 lb flathead.   All fish were caught using cut / whole skip-jack for bait, in the 25-50 ft depth range.   Hope to see everyone April 17 at Guntersville State Park.
