White River Bass Masters 2006 Angler of the Year Craig Jurgonski won the opening tournament of the 2007 season with a 5.2 pound largemouth.  This is the second consecutive year that Jurgo has won the season opener with one big fish.  Jurgo’s fish took Big Bass honors as well.  Jurgo said he caught the fish on a bubblegum Senko on a main lake point.

 

Second place honors go to Tim Denny with one fish that weighed 3.69 pounds.  Rookie Justin Kivett took third place with 2 fish that weighed 3.31 and was the only angler to weigh in more than one fish. 

 

Heavy rains the week prior to the tournament left the lake high and muddy.  The weather on Sunday was near perfect with a launch time temperature around 60 degrees and an afternoon high near 80.  Twenty four anglers participated with 9 weighing 10 fish with a total weight of 25.78 pounds.

 

White River Bass Masters next tournament will take place at Morse Reservoir north of Noblesville on April 22nd.  For complete tournament results visit www.whiteriverbass.com/index_files/Page1724.htm.  Anyone interested in joining White River Bass Masters should contact club president John Green at treystriton@sbcglobal.net.

White River Clean-up  Report  14 APRIL 2007

We had 3 members show up on a cold rainy Saturday.  Ben Dietzal, John Green and Bill Morrison.  We spent 4 hours picking up trash along Pleasant run on the east side of Indianapolis.  All told there were about 120 show up. We were transported on school buses from the Zoo to the creek. The 3 members of WRBM collected 12 bags of trash , a baseball, brake rotor, bicycle and 2 tires.  Being fisherman we were prepared for the weather with our rainsuits.

For all you single guys out there the Cleanup is a required class project for the co-eds at Butler.  Hint

 

Friends of the white river will be having a clean-up on the river.  The date is April 14tn and people will be meeting at the zoo downtown.  It will be done by early afternoon and free lunch will be served after the clean-up.  We as a club will be helping out the friends of the white river with there clean-ups this year.  They will schedule there dates so they do not conflict with our tourney schedule.  If you can help out on this date post on this thread.  If you have a jet boat or canoe that would also help the cleanup project.  Thanks Trey Dawg
