According to Webster’s Dictionary patience is the ability to bear trials calmly and without complaint. According to C.A.S.T./North the definition should be Greg & Joy DiGiovanni. Greg and Joy had fish 9 previous C.A.S.T./North tournaments without weighing-in even one keeper fish. Each tournament when Greg would pay their entry fee he would just smile and say “I’m here to make my donation” and then they would go and fish their hearts out. In tournament number 10 they made up for all of the donations. Greg and Joy fished small willow pockets inside the Cedron area of the lake early with white spinnerbaits and landed two good keepers that totaled 8.00 LBS. One was a lunker weighing in at 5.50 LBS for Big Bass of the tournament. The Digi’s took home a total of $705.00 for First Place and Big Bass honors.
Greg and Dana Beck headed for infamous “Katy Bridge” and the small cuts and points that surround the area. Their strategy paid off. Using Spittin’ Images they managed to boat a 2.90 Lb bass that topped off their 5.50 Lb stringer to net second place.
Rod and Rosanne Simpson fished the boat houses in the Juniper Cove area and landed a nice 2.90 Lb bass to anchor their 4.70 Lb stringer, tie up third place and share Second Big Bass honors with Greg and Dana Beck.
Even thought the weather was nice and the water was clear, Whitney refused to part with her fish. The few keepers that were caught came from below Juniper Cove on spinnerbaits, Pop R’s and worms.
