Rick Miller won the tojurnament with a catch of three bass weighing 5.33 pounds, followed by Keith Wolfe, who had three bass weighing 4.79 pounds.
Bob Fulks took third with three bass weighing 4.42 pounds, Neil But was fourth with three bass weighing 3.64 pounds and Tara Schmity finished fifth with two bass weighing 3.64 pounds.

The club fished Sunday at Tappan. I know Bob Fulks won gthe tournament, but I don't have the details yet. I hope to have them soon.

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.

Cranberry Delaware results

Like Y-City at Hoover and Southern Ohio on the Muskingum River, Cranberry Marsh Bass Club had a good ending to its regular season Sunday, Sept. 26. Also like the other clubs, the angler leading the season's point race going in ended the day with the title.
Neil Butt won the tournament with five bass weighing 8.22 pounds and took big bass honors with a 2.97-pound fish. Brett Richards finished second with five fish weighing 6.35 pounds.
In third place, Jerry Mossman also had five fish, weighing in at 6.2 pounds, but most importantly it was enough to give him the club's points championship.
Rick McDonald II placed fourth with five bass weighing 5.62 pounds and Steve Coulter was fifth with four bass weighing 5.45 pounds.
Overall, 21 members weighed in 68 bass. Seven five-fish limits were recorded.
Behind Mossman in the final top 10 for the season were Neil Butt, Brett Richards, Bub Cooksey,Tim Magers, Wayne Hanley, Otis McCloud, Rick McDonald II, Shaun Magers and Adam Richards. These 10 and three others will fish the club championship Oct. 9 and 10 at Alum Creek and Delaware.
The other three qualifiers are Keith Wolfe, Larry Schwartz and Steve Coulter. Wolfe and Schwartz qualified by being tournament winners who had prepaid their entry fees for the year and did not finish in the top 10 in the points standings. Coulter qualified by being a pre-paid entrant and being the highest finishing non-qualifier in the final tournament.
The last means of qualification for the championship was a twist the club added to its point system to provide an incentive to those who did not have a chance to finish in the top 10 to fish the final tournament. Many clubs have faced the problem of declining participation at the end of the season as members who are out of the race for the title or top 10 or whatever, decide not to compete at the end of the year.
Southern Ohio tackled the problem by allowing anyone who fished nine out of 10 tournaments (originally nine out of nine) would be eligible to fish the championship. I'm sure other clubs have come up with other incentives to keep the turnout high. If anyone knows of any, I like to hear about them.
