Team Landlocked "lands" first place in July boat tournament on Clarks Hill!
Midlands Striper Club’s July tournament was held from Clarks Hill. MSC included Clarks Hill in two of it's regularly held 2010 boat events for July and August. This change was implemented last year as a conservation effort to reduce the mortality of short fish caught on Lake Murray during these hot summer months. Last year both events were non-points tournaments to allow anglers to familiarize themselves with the lake. This event proved to challenge the best of anglers. No boats had 4 fish creels with only one boat weighing 3 fish. We had 30 anglers fishing 12 teams participate in the event with First Place going to Team Landlocked ,Captain Richy Brensinger and Joey Smoak with a total weight of 18lbs 2 ozs and Big Fish at 9 lbs 12 oz. Second Place for the third straight boat event goes to Team Wildman, Captain Donnie Christopher, Justin Christopher, Danny Young Jerry Broughton and Skip Morgan with a total wieght of 11 lbs 14 ozs.. Finishing in Third Place was Team Nobody, Captain Billy Durant and Van Cook with a total weight of 9 lbs 6 ozs. The events "Smallest Creel" when to Team 2 Guys & Gizzard, Captain Cam Littlejohn and Woody Barnes.

Our Hydro Glo Tournament was a big success last month. Due to the combined efforts of many of our members we were able to attract 91 anglers fishing from 32 boats. The club will realize more than $3,000.00 in profit from the tournament which will later be used to benefit the striper fishery in this state.
Many thanks to all the people who contributed with their time and effort. Donnie Christopher, Woody Barnes, Richy Brinsinger, Reed Bull, and all others who contributed to a very smoothly run event. Thanks to all the club members who solicited contributions for our biggest fundraiser of the year. Congratulation to Team Catch All who smoked the rest of the competition in the fish and money departments. I personally thought it was outstanding that the first five places went to MSC members. I’d like to think Darrell Keith of Hydro Glo lights who was our main sponsor. He along with all the business and MSC members that helped contribute financially need to be rewarded with our thanks and business if possible.
Lastly, on a more somber note, as most of you are aware, DNR was patrolling for short fish the night and morning of the tournament. I talked to two of the officers just before weigh in and they were upset at the number of short fish they had found on boats during the course of the tournament. Their first reaction was that these were all MSC members holding these short fish. I explained to the officers that there were lots of fishermen not in our club on the lake that night, some of whom were fishing the tournament and some were not. I assured them that MSC members take very seriously the fishing regulations and potential violations. I do not think any of our guys were ticketed that night and hopefully we left on a good note with the DNR officers.
Next tournament, July 17.
See you at the Hill!
