Cranberry results

Cranberry Marsh Bass Club has had a tough start to its season. Its first tournament, which was to be at Buckeye Lake, was canceled due to high winds. The last I heard, no decision had been made about whether to reschedule the event or just go with a seven-tournament schedule.
However, instead of fishing its second tournament May 1 at Pleasant Hill, the club decided to switch to Buckeye Lake.
I know Shaun Magers likes to fish Pleasant Hill, but he can't be too upset with Buckeye, as he won the tournament with five fish weighing 8.38 pounds. That's only a little less than the weight he had the day before at Piedmont.
Neil Butt took second with five fish weighing 8.15 pounds and big bass honors with a 2.77-pound fish, while Bill Gordon placed third with four bass weighing 7.57 pounds. Rick McDonald II finished fourth with five fish weighing 7.06 pounds and Jerry Mossman was fifth with five bass weighing 7.03 pounds.
A total of 92 bass were weighed in by 28 of the 34 members and two junior members fishing. Nine five-fish limits were recorded.
The club's next tournament is scheduled for Alum Creek May 15. However, like many area lakes, Alum  Creek's has been high, and club officials will be watching the lake level to see if it is going to be fishable. As of Sunday evening, it was only about 2.75 feet above summer pool, so it will probably be okay, but muddy.
One other development: Wayne Hanley has resigned as club president. I talked to him briefly Saturday at the Pete Taylor Memorial, but I was so tired I never asked him about it.
