Cole and Cole Win at Rayburn




The 4th Annual Outlaw Outdoors Memorial Day Tournament presented by Dylan Williams Allstate Insurance is in the books with a team of two local brothers, Keith and Chuck Cole, taking the victory with a solid stringer weighing 25.08 pounds. Their stringer netted the team a check for $2,500. The Cole duo reported catching their fish north of the bridge running a pattern that Keith spent all week working to figure out. They targeted specific areas in 13-15 feet of water with various types of lures. It appeared that lure selection was not as important as location when it came to their quality fish.

Second place was also won by family members, but this time it was the father and son team of Clint and Nolan Yeager. Their five fish limit of 24.36 earned them $2,100 for their day on the water.

Breaking up the family tradition of the tournament was the third place team of Gary McDonald and Clarence Denby. They hauled in a nice stringer weighing 22.60 nailed down by a nice 7.32 pound kicker. McDonald and Denby left the Cassels Boykin Pavilion with $1,800.

Fourth place honors went to a familiar team, Clayton Boulware and Albert Collins, with a sack of fish weighing 21.39 pounds. Their day was good for $1,500. Rounding out the top five was Dwain Burns and Chris Carroll with 20.77 pounds earning them $1,250. Daiwa Big Bass honors was awarded to the team of Derrick Shoffitt and Danny Cross with their 7.70 pound Sam Rayburn beauty. Combined with their eighth place finish, Shoffitt and Cross toted away a hefty $1,300 check.

During weigh in, the crew from Dylan Williams Allstate Insurance served everyone sausage wraps, boudin links and drinks. The Dylan Williams Allstate Agency offers an awesome opportunity for tournament anglers with their FISH & WIN PROGRAM. It is a great opportunity to get insurance at a great price and have the opportunity to win bonus money by winning tournaments.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water stained; 86 degrees; 1.54 feet below pool. Freshwater is still entering the lake from the river, and water is being released. Topwater bass bite is early in the morning and evening. Bass are deeper on points, drains and humps with crankbaits and Carolina rigs. Crappie are good on brush piles, but many undersized fish and bluegill to sift through. Catfish are good in 18-20 feet of water on cut bait. A few white bass are schooling on main lake points. Cast baits to shade. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
