The monthly NoAl tournament was held yesterday on Smith Lake. We didn't have a very large turnout with only three boats participating but the weather was very cooperative for this time of year with temps in the 50's and only a few brief, drizzling periods with just a slight breeze. Fortunately, the heavy periods of rain experienced by most of north Alabama didn't materialize until just after weigh in. Unlike our tournament at Pickwick last month, everyone was able to catch fish with several limits weighed in. Harry Speegle managed the win with a five fish limit weighing 11.16 pounds, anchored by a 3.69 pound largemouth which was also the big fish of the day.

After discussion at the weigh in, we decided that the March NoAl tournament will be held on the 17th of March on Wheeler. Ingalls Harbor will almost certainly be the site of a number of other tournaments so we will be launching out of Riverwalk Marina instead. Look for a sign up thread to be posted in the next day or two.
