A little contest for all those attending and who can't attend the Southern
Classic on Okeechobee in April. The winner will recieve a $50 gift certificate from Pro Bass Shops, courtsy of Moe's Guide Service. Much like the FLW or BASS this will be a fantasy tournament. You will pick 5 angles from the Classic list ( Use the link to my site below and click on the Southern Classic). The winner will be the contestent who's "team" finishes the highest in points. Ties will be broken by total weight in pounds and ounces. First place angler will recieve 100 points, second 95 , third 90 and on down the list. Anyone may enter, but you may enter only once. All entries must br recieved by April 15th ( Tax Day LOL) . Any contestant not entered to fish by that date, but who fishes the Classic, will not be counted and any entry sent in after the 15th will not be valid. Now for some insight on the anglers - as Moe sees it --- ROFL -- I haven't included every angler and may add as the tournament approches. These are not my picks, just some inside info for you. 1. Moe -- Now you might think this guy would be the favorite on his home lake, but the idiot has spent the winter in NY. What kind of fool is this? Still. I think he may catch a fish or two. If he doesn't drop into the guide mode, stays away from the wine, women and song ( A heck of a singer I hear), he may be a force to recken with. I don't think he will be on the top of his game for this one, I hear he likes the bottom. 2. Steve Huber -- Another guide who may drop into that mode, heck he can't even score on his home lake. Huber has been know to catch a fish or two ( he likes throwing keepers back) but his preoccupation with the gators will get him in trouble here. Look for Huber to finish well back in the pack. 3. Pat G -- A real sleeper and I do mean sleeper. Pat will fish his heart out but snooze half the day away. Lunch may be Pats big downfall. The 12" limit will benefit Pat this year, he gets to throw all those 5" er's back and have his picture taken with a real fish. 4. Jerry B -- May be my pick as the overall winner if he stays sober. This old boy can catch fish in a sewer drain, which explains why he hasn't scored to well in past classics -- they are all on real lakes. Jerry has the patience to fish slow, a sure winning presentation on Okee, but 3 cast in 2 hours?? Still, if Jerry wiggles his worm just right we may see a new champ crowned. 5. Joe H -- If the spinnerbait bite is on, Joe will bring a ton of fish to the scales. If not, Joe can fish soft plastics with the best. His past experience on Okeechobee is a plus but don't count on him getting to the scales on time. Send out Search and Rescue for Joe, he needs a new watch. 6. Sean B -- Sean will spend to much time chasing the Okee women around to be much of a factor. A killer fishermen but the ladies man will do his last Tango On Okee. If he does catch one of the local women, look for an early finish by Sean. 7. Doc P -- The former Float Tube King and now Tin Boat King will do well on his now "Home Lake". Wind may be his downfall in the little tin boat but don't count him out and don't call him late for any meals. Doc will be an excellent host and let others finish in front of him. Don't make him mad though, he can turn in a second and lay a 10 pounder on you. 8. Dan D -- Dan spends way to much time greasing up his hair and all that excess oil will spoil the bite for Dan. Look for Dan behind the camera and behind the field. But wait, Dan could be a sleeper here too -- not 9. Jim L -- Another northern want-a-be, get a life Jim and for God's sake leave that 4 pound test home. A great smallmouth fisherman will try his hand at some true Okeechobee hogs. I know for a fact Jim may be the only angler that scares me here -- you ever see him? 10. Warren W -- This is not Boom Lake, don't expect this excellent sight fisherman to be skunked here. Warren's flipping abilities may well benefit him here but the grass may be a factor. A one time Florida resident, he didn't have enough sense to stay -- don't believe I said that -- but his memory is good and unless his boat sinks he will be in the hunt. Look for Warren to try and kiss Sean this year, I know he wants him. 11. Randy -- Randy is due, Randy is past due, Randy is Overdue, Randy is done. Another story will be born. 12. Harry -- What can you say about Harry? An excellent fishermen who's time has come --------- and went. I fully expect to see Harry with a daily limit at the scales, to bad they are all Bluegill. 13. Charles S -- The catfish king will do well on Okee as the lake is full of cats. Charles wants a hog so bad he can taste it. I think bacon may be his downfall. And yes Charles, Roland does fish on the lake. Well, that's all for now. I will add to my list as I go along. You decide who the top 5 will be and good luck to all. -- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

Hey, we need to talk. I've got to get started on the plaque awards for the
Classic, so I'm going to need a list of what positions you're going to recognize, such as, a 1st, 2nd, 3rd. each day, or just an overall 1st. 2nd. 3rd. and Big Fish? We need a "sponsor" listing on the website page. Maybe contact Joe for the graphics of the sponsors from last year? I know we'll have Little Bill's Trophy's and Dean Sellers Ford again, plus I'm bringing in a huge net mfg. named "Ranger", and possibly a local tackle mfg. here to supply us with a new type culling system.

Heck, it's the least I can do since he carried me into a first place team finish last year, while contributing nothing to the team effort.

I musta missed this the first time I read this... probably too lazy to
scroll. Here's my take on your picks Moe. 1. Moe -- I remember fishing with you on Center Hill. You'd already had your limit and probably could have culled everyone you had in the livewell. But... as a true fishing guide, you offered me everything you had after I ran out of my trusty black and blue tubes, AND came up to the front of the boat with me and did everything but set the hook for me. So, unless you draw a competent angler to fish with... you'll be guiding for two days. That's just the way you are. 2. Steve Huber -- Another guide. Yup... same thing applies to you Steve. Just be sure you get on fish early in the day to fill your side of the livewell. Steve also likes the toothy critters, but unfortunaltely the only toothy critters in Okee is the gators... and Steve likes to chase them too. 3. Pat G -- Hmm... Pat could be that guy you don't really worry about until you see him again at the weigh-in. 4. Jerry B -- This guy enjoys talking, and making you laugh your ass off all day. When I fished with him on Center Hill, I had to wait until he was chewing on something to catch a fish. The only time I was able to fish instead of holding my laughing belly was in between bites of his sandwich. He has however, been doing alot of research on Okeechobee, so he's not to be ruled out entirely. I'm going to say that Jerry will probably have a good year on this lake. He's also used to fishing big waters. 5. Joe H -- I've fished against Joe many times, and many times I've been beaten. Mostly, with him fishing used waters behind me. Watch out for Joe... and I'm not just saying this because he's my boss. No, this guy has few baits that he carries with him and he knows how to use them. Ever heard the old saying, "Be careful of the man with only one rod on deck"? Joe is this kind of fisherman. 6. Sean B -- Are there any Walleye in Okeechobee? 7. Doc P -- Two words... Rim Canal. I expect that Doc's been concentrating on the canals and is fairly familiar with them. If the fish are there... he'll weigh-in a few nice ones. 8. Dan D -- Does Dan actually fish? Never seen him with a rod (fishing) in his hands. 9. Jim L -- I already knows Jim's secrets... Cigars, and Senkos. Without either one... he's no contest, but watch out when he's got both. Jim can skip a Senko so far under the brush that you'd think that he'll never see his bait again. That's true only when he latches on to a bass with that 4lb line. 10. Warren W -- When Warren comes south of the Mason-Dixon line... Watch out! Somehow, he manages to find a pattern quickly down here and it always works well to his advantage. I'll place Warren in 2nd place though. (See bottom for my 1st, 2nd, 3rd ratings) 11. Randy -- Randy isn't a problem as long as he's not fishing out of my boat. I'd like to see how he does fishing with me though... I could use the luck. 12. Harry -- Harry is the sleeper. He's learned very quickly and has the confidence to win, and win big. He can also adapt to just about every situation I can think of. 13. Charles S -- That's me! I think I'll probably be a little overwhelmed by the size of the lake, and the amount of weeds. Remember, my primary structure is rock, and I haven't seen any indication of rocks on my maps. I've got a couple of areas that I'm planning on sitting on most of the day if they look as good in person as they do on the map. I'll come up with a back-up plan after I get there. OK... I didn't see Ronnie Garrisons name on the list, so he's not on here anywhere. But my run down for placing is as followed. 1st: Warren Wolk or Moe Conway: Without Ronnie, Warrens almost a gaurentee win, but Moe may come in with a few hogs just to make us look real bad. 2nd: Joe Haubenreich or Moe Conway or Charles: DO NOT LET THESE GUYS FISH TOGETHER. 3rd: Charles Summers or Randy Lisk or Harry: I've came close to first a few times with these guys nipping at my heels. One of us three will take third; I can almost bank on it. -- Charles B. Summers Secret Weapon Lures http://www.secretweaponlures.com |
