COS @ Lake Sara 04/13/2008

35 degrees at blast off, 30 mile per hour wind gusts, rain, sleet and snow. Sounds like a tournament on Lake Michigan in February. But no, it was the C.O.S. season opener on Lake Sara sponsored by the Illinois Bass Anglers. Although the weather was extremely poor, 7 of the 15 teams were able to put together strong enough patterns to bring six fish limits to the scales.

Weighing an amazing 17.28lbs, the team of Dillow and Dillow took First Place honors. Taking Second Place, the team of Richard Miller and Dave Winnie’s limit weighed 11.76lbs. Third Place was awarded to the team of Jim Blumenstein and Brian Martin with 11.26lbs.

T&D Awards Big Bass honors went to the team of Jeff Cole and Mike Stephenson. Jeff’s 3.22lbs fish snuck past three or four other teams bringing in fish in the 3 pound range.

Taking first Place as C.O.S. members, Richard Miller (boater) and Dave Winnie (non-boater) were also each awarded $250.00 Setyr casting rods.

The Illinois Bass Anglers would like to thank all of our sponsors and invite you to visit our WEB site, www.IllinoisBassAnglers.com to see the entire list of companies who support our club.
