Twenty-six of us made the trek over. The fishing was a little slow but 17 fish were caught. Six fish were weighed in ranging from 6 lb 11 oz down to a little under a pound. 1st place: Alex Alexander...6 lb 11 oz; 2nd place: Don Brown...3 lb 2 oz; 3rd place: Lloyd Willoughby...2 lb 8 oz. Fishing will pick up as the weather gets warmer and the fish become more active and feed. Our next derby is at Lake Oroville on March 13 followed by a great NDO at New Malones on March 20. Many of our wives join us on Ladies Night Out. Next month Frank Reetz and his wife, Jean, will host dinner out at Casa Ramos on March 15.

ENERGY GOES WHERE ATTENTION FLOWS On March 6th, the Hackers opened the season on a gorgeous day at Mather. With the exception of a few players, it appears that most of us need to work out kinks from the off season. One of those who displayed midseason form was Fred Miller. Using his majestic, rhythmic swing, he posted the winning score of 89-19=70. Kessinger took 2nd with a strong round of net 72, followed by Navone, Niemi and Buer who tied for 3rd with net 76 s. In the Super SR. flight, John McCarthy ran away from the field posting a score of 97-34=63. Klingelhoets was up to his standard of last year, opening with a net 66. Shigemoto shook off last years cobwebs with a nifty score of 69. Fernbach and Firanzi tied for 4th with net 71 s. Results of this month s tournaments will be available at the SIRS luncheon meeting.
