Spearfishing Tourney Results

We had 50 divers in the annual Pontiac Spearfishing Tourney this year. Great turnout and great weather! We awarded prize money and door prizes on the deck at Just Jackie's - Trent Uchtman won the spear gun (his third time winning it!!) Revolver played live music on the deck, and Jackie did a pizza buffet for the divers and their families.

Nearly a week and a half later... here are the results:

Catfish
First Place: Chad Dismang (Boynton, Ok.) - 27 lbs, 7 oz.
Second Place: Heath Dismang (Haskell, Ok.) - 11 lbs, 13 oz.
Third Place: Jeremy Manier (Highland, Ill.) - 11 lbs, 1 oz.

Spearfish Tourney Weigh-In 1-3 p.m.

Just realized I posted that the weigh-in begins at 3 p.m. It actually begins at 1 p.m. and ends at 3 p.m. All divers must check in with the tournament director (me) by 3 p.m. to have their fish weighed and qualify. THANKS! See you Saturday.

Band at Just Jackie's this Saturday night

Just Jackie's will have a band (Revolver) on the deck this Saturday from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. The spearfishing tournament prizes will be awarded on the deck prior to the start of the band... plus, a pizza buffet will be offered to divers and their families for $10.99 per person. See you there!

Tidbits

Starting this Thursday, we'll be open until 9 p.m. through the week. We have been closing at 7 p.m. through the week and staying open until 9 p.m. on weekends; however, it'll be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily starting this Thursday. Woo-hoo!

The annual spearfishing tournament is this Saturday. Registration begins at 7 a.m. Take-off at 8 a.m. Weigh-in is at Hollingsworth Cove in Arkansas, starting at 3 p.m. Even if you're not in the tourney, head on down to Hollingsworth to see some big fish weighed in!

The Pontiac Fireworks are Sunday, July 4. Celebration on the dock beforehand - stop by for food, drinks, glow necklaces, hats, cups, etc.

The lake level is going down - it is predicted to be back to normal pool by Friday, July 2.

Fireworks on the Fourth!

The Pontiac Fireworks over the lake are set for Sunday, July 4. As always, fireworks begin at dark (9:15-ish). A celebration on the dock (much like last year) is planned for that evening - we'll be selling food and drinks, glow necklaces, beads, temporary tattoos, hats, souvenir cups and other fun stuff. Plan to stop by as you make your way out to watch the fireworks light up the lake! A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who supports the Pontiac Fireworks by attending events, buying raffle tickets, t-shirts, cups, etc., and simply making donations. We definitely could not do it without you! Cheers, and see you on the 4th!
