Today's Contest Cancelled


"The forecasted rain was too much for our local fishermen this morning," said tourney organizer, John Goodman. "Only one other boat besides mine showed up at Bob's." The next tournament is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2013, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In the meantime, you might want to mark your calendar for a New Year's Day tourney scheduled out of Bob's Fishing Hole. Tournament hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Their new entry fees apply to this next Tuesday event. In case you're not familiar with those fees, here they are: $25-per-person entry fee, plus $5 launch fee. There's a 5-fish limit per boat, and you may fish alone or with a partner. If you fish as a team, the entry fee would be $55, which includes the $5 ramp fee and $10 for the big-fish pot.

I was at West Neck Marina earlier today for a few minutes and found only one pair of anglers who had braved the conditions this morning and launched their Gambler bass rig. They just had come off the water as I was leaving, so I stopped and asked how they had done. "All we did was get wet," they harmonized. They didn't catch a single fish for all their efforts.

If you're headed out the next couple of days, you're probably going to get blowed around a bit. Charlie Bruggemann tells me that small-craft warnings are up the next 48 hours for strong NW winds.
