The stage was set for a dual between PWF of the South vs. PWF of the North. South won the toss and picked Holmes Lake (Troy). Already the North repesentative was feeling the pressure. It was a 142 mile journey and fishoff started at day break. South was using 4 and 6 pound test while north had 6 and 8 pound test. North went to the plastics from the git go. Big mistake. South was throwing crankbaits and immediately jumped out to a 5 to 0 lead on the first drift. These drifts continued all day as the wind and heat were punishing both of them. Took a break for lunch and north was hoping that south would take a nap so he could sneak back out and make up some of the gap. At 5:30pm North threw in the towel, shook hands and declared South the winner. Final score
Russ Garrett 30 fish
Bob Lundin 11 fish
Everything was caught on Crankbaits shallow running or rattletraps ripped through the weeds. I think Russ got one on a senko just to show me it could be done. We dragged the anchor to slow our drifts but poor Russ had to clean off 100 pound of weeds at the end of each drift.
Took the long ride back home thinking about a rematch at Clifton, Fairfield or Six O.
It was a fun day and I never really felt that we were competing, just a nice way to spend a day on the water with another member.

Bob and Russ met at our club fish fry last month and struck up a conversation and perhaps a friendship? At the very least they each found a new fishing partner.
If your looking for a fishing partner; simply post your name and e-mail on a NEW fishing report and you should find another member looking for a partner. We hope to have some type of partner finder system on our website within the next 6 months. Until then, just ask on the fishing report section.
