Mike C. & Ron L take first at Cachuma with Mike L. & Terry K. Taking second! |
Dateline: May 14-15
Lake Cachuma
The fifth tournament of the 2005 CBC circuit was our annual two day outing at Lake
Cachuma. Some of the guys had reported a decent bite in pre fish yet others had
reported very tough conditions. Much of this was forgotten temporarily on Friday
night as much of the club was busy preparing a variety of great dishes on the BBQ
grill.
The next morning 9 teams launched into the fog at 6pm and relied heavily on GPS
to figure out where in the heck we were going. One team that was not in a fog was
Mike Carpenter and Ron Licari who found that although the fishing was tough, at
least 9 keepers were willing to bite over the course of the two days. Their winning
total was 16.40 lbs. Great job guys!
Finishing in second place was Mike Lander and the Editor with a five fish two day
total of 8.98lbs. Mike had pre fished and knew where to head first thing, as we
plied the walls between Cachuma Bay and Johnson Bay with a variety of baits.
This gave us two early fish, one on Texas Rig, the other on a fluke. Then, for the
last couple of hours of both fishing days, we gutted it out on Jackrabbit Flats. Mike
was able to hook up with the drop shot there, which included the event big fish, a
largemouth weighing 2.89lbs. Mike was a pleasure to fish with, has a great boat,
and is an extremely patient fisherman. Thanks for letting me come along Mike,
I wish I could have helped a little more!
Rounding out the top three were Doug Engh and Mark O’Borsky with four fish
totaling 8.63lbs. Doug commented that he was heartbroken by missing the same
3lb bed fish two days in a row. Still, their high finish raised them in the overall
standings and once again established Doug as one of the people to beat in the
club this year.
The highlight of the trip was probably the awesome tri tip cookout staged by the
club on Saturday night. There was plenty of other great food to go around as well,
along with some great camaraderie at the campfire that evening,
All in all it was once again a great weekend. The bite was incredibly tough and had
many club members bewildered. That, along with an apparently high pollen count
had several members competing to see who had the worst allergies, and I think Jeff
Jue may have won that contest! I had a great time for sure and hope to do it again
next year, with hopefully some better fishing next time around!
