Conditions:
heavy rain and thunder storms greeted the anglers at the ramp with a forecast
calling for rain for most of the 2 day event. Day 1 the thunder cleared and we fished in
rain most of the day. Day 2 started off overcast but the skies cleared and it turned out
to be a nice day. The rain didn’t affect the water as much as the anglers feared,
although the normal low tide was never reached. Water temps stayed around 80 and visibility
was less than a foot in most places
Winning Strategy:
Jeff used several baits including a crank bait, chatter bait and
buzz bait to catch his fish in current brakes up on of the creeks off the main river
Next Divisional Tournament:
This division’s next tournament will start the 2010 season and
be September 13, 2009 on The Delaware River at Neshaminy ramp.

Mike Piccolo lead much of the year based on 3 earily season wins on the flats. But that
did nothing but cause Dale Gorrell to focus. Conditions were tough with high muddy water
But Dale managed the only limit on
the final day to tie Mike for the points lead. Causing a special tie breaker tournament
in which Dale prevaled. Randy Iorio locked up COY for the 3rd straight time, can anybody beat
this guy?

Going into the 2 day, four guys within 5 pts of the AOY lead.
Den didn't think he had much of a chance but 2 solid limits
propelled him to win both the Division Championship and AOY.
Randy had a great season, his win on the flats gave him a
commanding lead going into the finals, and a solid limit on
day one sealed the deal for COY.
