SEXTON
& COUCHMAN TOP FIELD AT DON PEDRO NIGHT OPEN
Sunday, June 1, 2003....
After
a spring that didn’t want to stick around for long quickly gave way to
summer, we found ourselves hovering around the triple digits. Along with
the warmer temperatures comes the ski boats, jet skis and crowded lakes!
If you still insist on fishing, then nighttime is the right time!
JOHN
& ANGIE KUHN TOP FIELD AT NOR-CAL BASS MIX OPEN
Saturday,
June 7, 2003.... This
season has been a scheduling nightmare for Nor-Cal Bass. It seemed like
the schedule had to be juggled and changed for nearly
every tournament, the mix team was no different. Obviously the change in
the schedule and unknowingly moving the tournament to graduation weekend
created a direct impact on the turnout. Although we only had 13 teams
sign-up to fish the tournament, they came prepared to have a good time.
VALDEZ AND MORGAN TACKLE
TOUGH CONDITIONS FOR VICTORY
The fifth stop for Nor-Cal Bass took place on the California Delta.

many the past couple of weeks had grown tough. As if that wasn’t
enough, the sixty competing anglers were greeted with high winds as
they arrived for morning check-in.
MCKENZIE & REYNOLDS DOMINANT
