TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR FISH!!!! That is how many keepers were brought to the scales over the two day tournament at Pomme de Terre. For reference the club weighed in 200 fish in 2016 and 190 in 2017 each with 24 boats in attendance. Thanks to everyone who took extra measures to keep their fish alive in the heat and warm water temps. 96% of the fish were released back into the water unharmed. Saturday saw cooler temps than originally forecasted and a heavy rainstorm came in around 9AM along with a heavy wind causing several anglers to seek cover. Sunday saw zero clouds in the sky and very sunny conditions. Many anglers reported catching fish pitching into flooded bushes given the lake was 3’ over normal pool and flooded shoreline vegetation was plentiful. A big thanks to Dale at Nemo Bridge Resort for hosting the club and NEMO Lanes for the discount they gave us on the Pizza for Saturday night.

G.Loomis has been a Major Sponsor of the Hawg Hawlers for 8 years! We have given several rods away over the years at the Annual Awards Banquet and several club members own and fish G.Loomis exclusively. If you are in the market for a new rod please make sure to check out their amazing selection of technique specific rods. They offer 6 different lines of rods for bass anglers to include the Conquest, NRX, IMX-Pro, GLX, E6X and Classic.

CLASSIC MAG BASS

These are the rods that started it all for G.Loomis in the bass fishing world. Based on levels of performance, these rods remain on the cutting edge of graphite technology today. They are no-nonsense, no frills, high performance fishing tools. Fuji reel seats, cork grips and the best guides available to give anglers the lightest, most sensitive rods in the business. There are three levels of graphite performance available in the most popular models, GL3, IMX and GLX. These

are 6'6” and 7' casting rods, originally developed for longer casts applications. The term MAG came from their magnum tapers that generate a lot of power and provide excellent fish-fighting capability. Longer rear-cork grips help provide leverage and balance. They are excellent for pitching or overhand casting and are unbelievably strong for such light weight rods. These rods were originally designed to fish for bass, but as anglers will experiment many have found them to be excellent for walleye, pike, freshwater stripers, redfish and snook - a testament to their light weight and sensitivity, not to mention unbelievable power. You will be amazed at the versatility of these rods!


Tournament Big Bass

Eddie Hinrichs caught the tournament big bass weighing in at 4.86 lbs on Sunday. Eddie caught the fish on a Carolina Rigged Brush

Schedule your boat for an Outboard Annual Service which includes checking main engine components, fluid levels, greasing fittings, replacing the water pump, spark plugs, fuel filter, gear lube, pressure test of gear housing seals, and much more.

give OPC a call to get you back on the water. If you didn’t winterize your boat in 2017, don’t make the same mistake this year. Check out their 3 different Winterization packages before you put your boat up for the season.

YO-ZURI is a Major Sponsor for the Club this year. They have an awesome selection of hard baits, line and a new spinnerbait called the “knuckle-bait.” Various assortment of colors and 3D Prism effects are absolutely amazing. You can find their products at Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Academy, Dicks or online at www.yo-zuri.com

G Loomis - With 8 different lines of bass fishing rods (NRX, GLX, E6X, GL2, Classic, Bronzeback Series, Fiber-Blend) you should have no problem finding the perfect rod for whatever type of technique you prefer. If you’ve never fished with a G Loomis rod before, you don’t know what you are missing. These are some of the most sensitive rods out there and built for serious bass fishermen.

Shimano is by far one of the world’s most premier fishing tackle companies and highly respected by bass fishermen everywhere. Given the Curado’s great reputation as the gold buy standard of

affordability priced bulletproof baitcasters, it’s likely there are more of these reels in bass boat rod-lockers than any other make. It’s hard to believe that even in the spinning reel world, Shimano hit another home run with their Stradic Ci4 (check the online reviews if you don’t believe me). I recently picked up one of their Crucial rods a Bass Pro and let me tell you it is one of the lightest rods I’ve ever handled.
