Rich and i will be holding a buzzard shoot the entry fee will be 10 dollers and big fish is 5 dollers,oars are allowed it wil be held 6:00 to 1:00 july 2 pay out will go to 1st 2nd 3rd places will get a pay out 4th 5th will get lures 4th will get 2/3 of the lures 5th will get 1/3 of the lures.

this lake is one of the most tough lake to catch bass so lets get some good belly boaters out here and try to make this a annual buzzard shoot.

This is it dudes.
This tourney is going to be a great one. Do you think your good? Maybe you can catch fish on private waters like Bill Dance, but can you catch them at Ralphine? There has never been a float tube tourney held on this very public lake. I know for a fact that they have big bucket mouths in this small bowl of a lake. This is the fourth of July weekend and there will be a lot of people watching this weigh-in.
I fished this lake the other day for about 4 hours and had no love what so ever. I have a bone to pick with this lake.

I don't know what it will be like in the we hours of the early morning, but I do know that they have been planting trout there and the Florida bass really enjoy eating those protien bars. So if you think you have what it takes, come on out a show the public what this thing called float tubing is all about. Remember, its only $10.00 and one good lure or pack of plastic's. If you feel like getting in on big fish thats another $5.00 Don't be scared. Nick and I will see ya there}(

Rich

P.S. So lets see some names on this post as to who's brave enough for the park. Maybe the winner can have a free pony ride too. LOL

Thanks Criley. Please talk your friends into it too. Remind them that this is a tough lake. I am dieing to see what all of us can come up with there and teach one another about this very local fishery. Im going to hit it on Tuesday and Thursday to try and find where those fish are hideing.

WHERE IS LAKE RALPHINE?? HOW DO I GET THERE FROM SAN FRANCISCO? :9

Bill,

Ralphine is in Santa Rosa right below Spring Lake. From SF you would take 101N, take Hwy 12 towards Sonoma. Continue straight when you hit the light at Farmers (right?) then when you come to Summerfield take a left. It is in Howarth Park I believe on your right.

Someone else correct me if I've made any mistakes!

Todd

THANKS TODD. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE UP THIS EARLY IN THE AM :P

I WILL TRY AND MAKE IT FOR THE TOURNEY

hope you can make it bill

Come off 101 going east on HWY 12. Cross over Farmers Lane and you will be on Hoen Ave still traveling east all the way to Summerfeild Rd. Go right on Summerfeild for about 1 mile and the park will be on your right just past Somona Ave. Hope to see you there. Whats up Todd? Will we be seeing you there? I sure hope so.

Rich
