The BIGUNS live here...

​

What's in store for this one !! HOLY MACKEREL, what surprises God had for us...quite a scene at the boat launch with other tournaments going on besides ours, it seemed as hundreds of boats were there an hour and a half before start time, it was like a New York traffic jam !! Plus the 40 mph winds, quite chilly to say the least...Okay, so the weatherman finally got one right about the conditions!! 

Fishing was pretty good for some, tough for others as 11 teams participated...Larry Davis and guest Mike Sinitiere topped the teams for first place and Curtis Gloud lead the individual weights for the day...oh, Curtis also had big bass for the day with a 3.78 lb bass

Patterson Launch Site-Official Tournament Time-Challenge #1

February 21, 2026

Not football but it is kickoff time for the new year...

​

What's in store for this one, we wait to see !! 10-4

And once again the proof was there, okay, we are talking about not trusting a weather man predictions as it showed no signs of the 40% chance of rain nor the DENSE FOG and cloud cover all day...some of us showed up unprepared for those conditions, no sun glasses, no sun screen, oh well, lesson learned. Used car salesman and weathermen fall in that same category....hahahahaha

NOW when it comes to the fishing, it turned out pretty good overall as many teams spoke of 20+ bass caught for the day...The one problem was short, shorter and shartest bass we have seen in a long time. I guess the one good thing you might say is the future looks good for Patterson/Teche for sure...
