LW WIRING SERVICES SPRING BONANZA

West Horseshoe Lake 2006 - June 11th.

The 2006 SSBM tournament trail changed it's look this year beginning on Shelburne Co.'s West Horseshoe Lake. This lake has usually been tackled in September or October of the previous years. The tournament entitled 'LW Wiring Services Spring Bonanza' drew 25 member boats and 3 other non-member boats. The 28 boat field took to the lake with cold front conditions in mind and with several heavy rainfall days leading up to the event.

Not to anyones surprise the water was high and cold with water temperatures ranging from 60-63F. The majority of the day was fought through overcast skies and a light drizzle. All these conditions made for poor fishing.

Many of the anglers were unsuccessful in nabbing a 5 fish limit and would many 1-2lb bags were brought to the scales. But, like always, there are teams who find the fish. In this case, beginning in fifth place, is defending Team of the Year champions Mark & Millage Weare with 4.32lbs. Fourth, went to Darren Hatt & Vincent Connolly with 5.40lbs. Norman Wentzell & Clarke Delong took third place honours with 5.47lbs. This team also managed the tournament's lunker fish weighing 3.09lbs. In second place was the non-member team of Larry Graham and Richard Hiltz with 5.73lbs. With over a 3lb difference from second place, former team of the year Tremayne Nauss & Jerome Croft took home the first place cheque and trophies with a 9.16lb bag.The race is on for this years Veinottes Gone Fishing SSBM Team of the Year, and it will only get better on June 25th at Big Mush-a-Mush Lake. Congratulations to all the competing teams and a big thank you to the tournaments main sponsor, LW Wiring Services. - Cody Lohnes reporting
