top the field @ the C.A.B.A. Roadrunner division

event on Cedar Creek

 Saturday May 27, 2006 – Log Cabin, Texas…… THE TRITON/CHRISTIAN ANGLERS BASS ASSOCIATION roadrunner division event on Cedar Creek greeted the anglers with a slight breeze at takeoff, but turned into a VERY WINDY day and boy did it blow!  But all participants made it back to the check in point safely.  Thank you Lord.  After loosing 3 canopies last month on T-Wok because of a high gust of wind, I was not going to take any chances on loosing more canopies.  At $207.00 each, it can be quite expensive!  So no canopies were put up.

 Triton Gold members Copeland & Lipsey managed to outdistance the remaining field by weighing in a limit of C/C bass tipping the scales @ 19.22 lbs.  Because, C.A.B.A. events are so competitive, and have so many “good Stiks” fishing, tournament winners are becoming very tight lipped on tactics.  So no word on the how and where of their win!  I can’t blame them!

 Rounding out the top 5 teams were Dorman & Franklin in a close 2nd place with another limit weighing 18.94 lbs.  Peace & Priest took 3rd place with 17.58 lbs.  4th place went to Cole & Herron with a weight of 16.31 lbs.  5th place went to the team of West & West with 15.67 lbs.  Big bass of this event went to the team of Boyd & Spencer with a nice Cedar Creek bass weighing 6.83 lbs.

 Our May ministry of the month is World Reach Ministries based out of Rockwall Texas.  During this event C.A.B.A. raised $552.00 for World Reach.

 The 10% retained from our monthly entry fees in used to support various charities throughout each tournament season.  It’s this cause that separates C.A.B.A. from all other tournament circuits!  This is our reason for being.  So remember, as your team participates in any C.A.B.A. monthly event you are helping us make life a little easier for those less fortunate.  Also remember that 10% of all entry fees (both monthly & weekly) and your membership fee is tax deductible.  If you participated in any C.A.B.A. event during the ’05 season, there is a 2005 tax receipt form for your use.  Simply print it out and fill in the blanks.  The tax benefit does not apply for our open tournaments.

 Our “Early Entry” bonus drawing winners for this event was the team of Traylor & Traylor.  By sending in their entry fee early they were entered into our “Early Entry” bonus drawing and by winning the drawing, had their choice of $100.00 cash or their entry fee paid for the following event in the Roadrunner division.  They chose the entry which is worth $150.00.  Not bad for a .39¢ investment.  Hopefully during the ’06 season we will see an increase in participation in the “Early Entry” bonus drawing.  At least one member of each team that has entered the bonus drawing must be present to win.  If the team that wins is not present, then we will draw until we have a winner.

 Our June event for the Roadrunner division will be June 24 on Richland Chambers out Oak Cove Marina.  We haven’t been to R/C in several years so it will interesting to see who shows!  I’ve been hearing complaints on how tournaments don’t come to Richland Chambers, well here we come!  The ministry of the month will be Speed the Light.  I hope to see you there!  So call Oak Cove Marina at 903-872-0888 and book your room today.

 The 2006 membership drive is underway and the member that is responsible for the most new members to join C.A.B.A. will receive some great prizes that will be awarded at our ’06 CHAMPIONSHIP.  We will have 4 membership drive winners, 1 from each of our qualifying division, so get busy guys!  It’s through our members sharing the news and vision of C.A.B.A. that this ministry outreach grows, so please continue to spread the word!

 I want to take this opportunity to say a very special THANK YOU to Neal Hart with Triton Boats along with Joe Wallace of North Texas Marine for their faithful support.  It is a pleasure to be affiliated with Triton Boats and North Texas Marine.  They have truly been a blessing to C.A.B.A.  I encourage anyone that is thinking of purchasing a new boat to strongly consider a Triton.  Give Rick Vanderwheel (817) 246-2100 of the Fort Worth facility or Joe Wallace (940) 263-1737 of the Gainesville facility a call to take a look at the entire Triton line.  If you would like a demo ride in a TR21 give me a call!  The guaranteed 1st place at our ’06 CHAMPIONSHIP will be a fully rigged, lake ready Triton Tr196 with 200 Optimax, Motor Guide T/M and amenities.

 For those teams that continue to be a part on this ministry outreach and to those that have just joined us, I want to say thank you so very much.  Without you we could not accomplish our mission.  We do our very best to provide the best payback and amenities possible with the funding and sponsorship we have available.  Those who fish with us are accomplishing much more than just having the chance to win a monetary reward.  For our work is eternal.  Each time you fish a C.A.B.A. monthly or weekly event you allow us to give to ministries that are doing what the Lord has called them to do.  Without our support they would be hindered in their ministry outreach!  Each time you fish a weekly C.A.B.A. event you help support this ministry, which in turn allows us to do what God has called us to do.

 As always, if you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to call.  I continue to pray that the Lord of Glory will richly bless you and yours.

Mike
