2012 Tournament Recaps

PATTERSON/BAYOU TECHE - January 28, 2012

"Pre-Season"

All went well for our 2nd annual "Pre-Season" Tournament at Patterson. The weather was great, a little wind kicked up around noon time but did not change our fishing tactics.  A few teams met for breakfast and a blessed prayer by Lawrence sent us on our way. 9 teams participated in the event with each person putting up $5 as an entry fee.  You won't believe who took bring stringer and big fish for the day......Mark Angelle and Bubba Patin had 4 keepers on the day with a nice 8.55 lb sack of bass.  Their big one went 3.68 lbs and with that they took home all the money. Wait until next year !!!!  Lawrence Brunet fished with guest Douglas Thibodeaux to capture 2nd place with a 3 fish total coming in at 5.34 lbs.  Team J & J, that's Joe Phillips and Jim Walton followed close behind with 3 keepers that came in at 5.30 lbs. The Choate's, Tim and Ezra, took 4th with 3.18 lbs of bass and they had the honor of taking everyone's picture for the weighin...thanks guys.  Paul Barnes and Doc Bryant finished 5th with 1 nice keeper that scaled in at 2.67 lbs. The Gimp-Limp team of Al Perry and Randy Prejean boated one keeper for the day that totaled 1.41 lbs. Bob Gaudet and Elmer Savoie tied with David Hebert for 7th with 0.00 lbs of bass.  Thanks to all that participated, it was great to be back on the water.  This tournament was not an official points tournament and no weighs will be carried for the start of the year.  Next meeting is on the 6th of February and our first official tournament is set for February 18th at Patterson.  Once again, God has blessed us in so many ways and especially with so many good members, all putting God first.  2012 should be an outstanding year !!!!!!

2011 Tournament Recaps

HENDERSON - December 10, 2011

"HOT" Tournament

"Helping Our Troops"

Waiting to see what God has in store for us for this year's "HOT" Tournament.  We will be helping out the Hamilton family that lost Aaron in an auto accident on 11-11-11 (Veterans Day). Aaron left behind his wife, Lynn and 5 children, ages 3 to 17.  Aaron was a navy veteran so we thought with the situation being as it is, this would be a family that AOC would help out.  Hope to see you on the water for the tournament.

Well, another great tournament is in the books...we had 17 teams participate this year and were able once again to raise over $1000.  Many thanks to all that helped make is successful.  Whether you fished it, donated or helped put it together, congratulations !!!  Thanks to God for a blessed day, a little chilly to start but bearable all day and thanks for keeping all of us safe. Update 1 - Looks like we will be pushing $1500 or more to be given to the family, the cash keeps rolling in.        Update 2 -Well, I said the cash keeps rolling in and did it, we were able to give the family a check in the amount of $2000.00  . Thanks Again !!!!  

Talk about dodging a bullet !!!  Those duck hunters on the lake had most of the anglers on edge, those b-b's were flying and shots were ringing through the air.  Dana Fontenot of Breaux Bridge teamed up with Travis Charlie of Talisheck to claim "The Bragging Rights" for the next year with a 3 fish limit that came in at 5.56 lbs.  Hot on their heels and claiming 2nd place were Sonny Bajat and David Hebert, the pair also came in with a limit that scaled in at 5.39 lbs.  Al Perry and Lawrence Brunet hooked up and into 3 fish that weighed in at 4.86 lbs. for 3rd place.  Fontenot and Charlie also had big fish for the day with a 2.10 lb bass.

Again, thanks to all of you that helped out and hope to see you on the water in the coming year and definitely next December.
