OHIO RIVER BUDDY TRAIL RAVENSWOOD 9/3/2016
LABOR DAY!! Those words were very true to most of the 46 teams that fished the ORBT this past
Saturday, as in half the field failed to weigh in a keeper bass, 13 teams managed to bring in more
than one and no team had a limit. Robert and Robbie Fleshman from Tad, W.Va., had four bass for
the win and Randy Bunner and Cam Thomas had four for second place. The others Labored all day to
scratch one or two . Johnny and Jonathan Thompson held on to win the Points Race by weighing
in one fish to hold off Brian Trunk and Abe Collins from charging into the lead. So even after a difficult
day; I would like to thank the sponsors of this ORBT : Forshey Marine of Marietta, Polymers Services
of Ohio, Boggs Pizza and Grill from Middlebourne, and Ohio River Outdoors of Williamstown for
their support of the Trail as well as the ORBT Staff. On another note; this is the second month that I
have gotten word of teams not wearing their LIFE JACKETS when moving to another spot and this past
week of a team casting inside of the LOCKWALLS. Come on MAN!! Where has our SAFETY and sense
of FAIRPLAY GONE??? Are some of you that desperate to win or catch a keeper that you break
the RULES. If anyone involved in these actions are named to me they will be DQ’d. Period. If you
can’t play by the ORBT RULES; then don’t come. Stay home. Ok ; here are the top nine places:
1st place – RobertFleshman/ Robbie Fleshman (4) 4.95 #’s $ 830.00
2nd place – Randy Bunner/ Cam Thomas (4) 4.63 #’s $ 420.00
