The retirees fished lake Hickory last week with Ronnie Humphries getting the win. Humpy had 8.30 for a total weight and he had a 3.95 largemouth, which was big bass of the day. John Black and Roger McNeilly had 6.40 and took second with James Osborne and Ray Hembree landing in third with 5.95. This week the geezers will be on Lake Wylie. The temperatures this week should help fishing and make it easier for the fishermen as well.

MOSS

Only ten boats made the weekly Thursday night bass tournament on Moss Lake last week. Again the potential of storms and low catches seem to have detoured anglers from making this a part of their weekly fishing plans. Matt Arey and Les Dulin got the win with 2.80. Walt Brysick and Charles Bridges had 2.51 and were second with Reggie and Johnny Guffy third with 2.37. Rounding out the top 4 was Arnold Ledford and Brent Shytles with 2.34. Big bass was a 2.80 brought in by the winning team of Arey and Dulin.

CCBC

The Cleveland County Bass Club fished Lake Hickory last weekend and saw tough fishing. Tom Mayhew took first with 7.02 followed by Ray Hembree with 6.82. Chuck Camp had 4.72 and Roger Beaver had 4.62 for third and fourth respectively. Fifth went to Tyler Hensley with 4.60. Big bass was a 3.80 largemouth brought in by Roger Beaver. September will find the CCBC on Fishing Creek.

Bass Caster 

The Bass Casters fished Lake Wylie over the weekend and they too so tough fishing. Terry Knight got the win with 9.14 followed closely by Mark Swink with 9.13. Mitch McCracken had 8.11 and took third with Bubba Sprouse getting fourth with 7.13. Jordon Spangler had 5.15 and landed in fifth. Big bass was a 3.12 largemouth brought in by Bubba Sprouse. September they will be fishing on Lake Rhodhiss.
