Congratulations to Brian Hopkins / Tommy Hulsey on their first place win.
Brian said…..”We got into a feeding frenzy this morning and caught bass on six consecutive casts. In the span of 15 minutes or so, we caught 10-12 bass. It all happened extremely fast and was a really cool experience! Our day was over by 12:30 pm because the motor would not start. Luckily, that didn’t matter. I’m thankful for another awesome day of bass fishing. Good Times!”
1st 9.98 pounds $451 + 2nd big bass 8.18 pounds $38 = $489 total payout. The big momma was caught on a white spinner bait and the unders were caught on a Texas Rig.

SCATTER SHOOTING
3rd place Lonny Pierce / Richard Robertson caught their bass on A-rigs …..……. 4th place Charley David / Al Kohutek fished mainly points and caught their fish on small red and purple worms drop shoting, C-rig tiny watermelon red brush hogs, and of course giant Senkos. One of their fish had a shaky head grub in its mouth from someone’s breakoff. If the grub would have stayed in, it would have made a difference between getting 3rd instead of 4th ……………….. 5th Doug Powell / Carlo Gonzalez caught their bass on shaky head, chatter baits, and brush hogs ………..Big THANKS to Joe and Tina Crouch for providing lunch – Tina got another good deer this year so we had deer chili with all the fixings. Also thanks to Lake Athens Marina for the use of the picnic tables during the weigh-in www.facebook.com/Lakeathensmarinatx
LAKESIDE DEVOTIONAL – Are you talking to God?
Charlie David led the devo. Saying a vine has to be connect to water to grow, just like we need to be connected to God to grow spiritually. We do this by talking with God through our prayers and connecting through the Holy Spirt.
Ephesians 6:13-18
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
The devil is crafty. We all know of or have a family member who has gone down the wrong path and gotten in the fast lane of life with drugs. We need God’s armor to protect us from the devil. We need each other, we need the churches strength through fellowship and prayers for each other, and we need to guide our brothers.
Galatians 5:16-26
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
For some people, church to them is being out on the Lake on Sundays - The church of the boat on the water. The devil loves this and he knows you don’t have your armor on and are easily tricked into going down the wrong path.
Get in fellowship groups like this. Get in church groups and fellowship with each other. Get with God.
Charley asked Kevin Davis closed us in prayer and we were dismissed.
