Rayburn Oilmen’s Classic presents a $30,000 check to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital




“The 18th Annual Rayburn Oilmen’s Classic, October 10-11, 2014 was a huge success,” said Charlie Parks, President of the Rayburn Oilmen’s Classic. Four sacks topped the 30 lb. mark for the two day event with Joe Buckner and Cody Simmons achieving top weight. The tournament had a full field of 200 boats.

Jason Shropshire and Joseph Goodrum brought in the biggest sack of the tournament on day one with 20.95 lbs.

John Bevans caught the Big Bass of the tournament at 9.81 lbs.. Mitch Shofflett fishing with Cory Forestier, weighed a 9.09 lbs. bass.

Competitors found it a little tougher the second day of competition. The initial leader board shuffled substantially.

Joe Buckner and Cody Simmons added another 15.24 lbs. to their total weight, vaulting them from fourth place on day one to win the tournament with 33.88 lbs. Buckner gave Simmons all the credit. “Cody found our fish.” They reported catching their fish north of the 147 bridge while using white Strike King Wave Baits on both days of the tournament.

Second place winners Christopher Aston and Brent Boquet also had a great comeback from their fifth place on day one. Their two day total was 30.82 lbs. Len Adcock and Jeff Holder rose from eighth place on day one to third place with a 30.34 lbs total.

Rounding out the top 10 were:
4th – Bobby Hebert and Calvin Gambino…30.27 lbs
5th – Jason Shropshire and Joseph Goodrum…29.94 lbs
6th – Brad Beridon and Craig Marsh…28.65 lbs.
7th – David Matheny and Kenny Babin…28.33 lbs.
8th – Don Rodney and Irvin Bourgeois, Jr….27.74 lbs.
9th – Monte Nevils and Bill Pippen…27.64 lbs.
10th – John Bevans and Belinda Marus…27.62 lbs.

“The big check, ($30,000) and the reason as well as motivation for everyone involved to put this tournament on, was given to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Parks. The Wounded Warriors Project also received a check for $3,000.00.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 27)

GOOD. Water stained; 62 degrees; 5.99 feet below pool. The magic water temperature is 67 degrees for the spawn. The water is muddy north of the Texas State Highway147 bridge. Navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Bass are in the grass lines in 4-20 feet of water biting soft plastics and spin baits. Spawn appears to be deeper due to the water draw. This will eliminate a lot of sight fishing. Crappie are slow. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. The bite bass bite has been fantastic! Large waves and groups of fish shallow from 10-15 feet deep as well as large numbers of fish shallow 1-7 feet deep. Primarily fishing a Carolina rig, medium diving crankbait, and Texas rig in 10-15 feet. Cast rattletraps, chatterbaits, and lightweight Carolina rigs up shallow. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
