Rocky Fork Results
Once again Mother Nature played tricks on us. Not only did the lake come up four feet over night, that’s right 4 feet. She through in a tornado for good measure. Needless to say, not the best fishing conditions. However, once again the Southern Ohio boys found some fish. Click HERE for more deatils.
EAST FORK RESULTS
The first event is in the record books now. A very cool and windy day but all the teams found fish. Nothing large however. We had a total of 13 teams with a very diverse field. Spinner and crank baits seemed to be the preferred food for the day. Main and secondary points seemed to hold fish.
