I was wrong about action at Alum Creek picking up -- at least in time for the Cranberry Marsh Bass Club tournament there Sunday, Aug. 29, a hot, sunny day with a lot of boat traffic.
Out of 30 members participating, 15 caught a total of 24 keeper bass. Bub Cooksey had the most success, winning the contest with four bass weighing 4.65 pounds. He was followed by Otis McCloud, who had two fish weighing 3.2 pounds, including a 1.9-pound fish that took big bass honors.
Neil Butt finished third with three bass weighing 3.18 pounds, Brett Richards was fourth with two bass weighing 2.23 pounds and Jerry Mossman placed fifth with two bass weighing 2 pounds.
Mossman's finish was not only enough to keep him in first place in the club standings, he increased his lead over the second-place angler. He has a 12-point lead over Neil Butt, 15 over Dick Bowman, 17 over Brett Richards and 18 over Bub Cooksey.
The club uses a 50-point scoring system, so Mossman is in good shape heading into the final tournament Sept. 26 at Delaware Lake. It's not impossible for someone to pass him, but if he catches fish in the last tournament (which he has done consistently all season), it will be difficult. Butt, for example, would have to finish 12 places ahead of Mossman just to tie.
The location of the club championship tournament will be determined after the Delaware contest.
Mega Bass results
The Ohio Mega Bass Tournament TRail was also at Alum Creek Sunday, with better results than Cranberry. Jami Norman and Kevin Ward topped the 41-boat field with 5 bass weighing 10.09 pounds. M. Smith and Larry Hall were second with five bass weighing 9.31 pounds.
John and Cody Dawson finished third with 8.52 pounds. They only had two fish, but one weighed 6.26 pounds and was big bass for the tournament.
Scott Newlon and Kevin Collins placed fourth with five bass weighing 7.68 pounds and John and Rich Wisenbarger were fifth with three bass weighing 6.88 pounds.
Thirty-three teams weighed in a total of 90 bass. For the complete results, visit the Ohio Mega Bass website.

Good numbers at Griggs
John Fulton won the Cranberry Marsh Bass Club tournament Sunday, July 18, at Griggs Reservoir, bringing in five bass weighing 8.19 pounds. Fulton was one of eight members who weighed in five-fish limits.
Club President Wayne Hanley finished second with 7.27 pounds, Dick Bowman placed third with 6.75 pounds, Shaun Magers took fourth with 6.53 pounds and Otis McCloud was fifth with 6.39 pounds.
Big bass was a 4.17-pounds fish caught by Neil Butt.
I don't know how many club members fished the tournament, but 21 members caught 68 bass. That's not bad for a hot, humid day in mid-July on a lake with a huge amount of ski- and speed-boat traffic.
After this tournament, 16 anglers are separated by only 49 points in the club standings with two tournaments remaining ands only 22 points separate first and 10th places. (The club operates on a system of 50 points for first, 49 for second, etc., plus some show-up points.) Jerry Mossman has moved back into first place, with a three-point lead over Adam Richards, but a lot of changes are possible in the last two contests, which are at Alum Creek and Delaware. Alum Creek is next on the schedule, on Aug. 29.
