Bill Dennis and Rick Easter Win the Lake Maumelle Classic on
Lake Maumelle

Story provided by Bill Dennis

On October 2, 2010, Lake Maumelle presented a challenge to fourteen
qualifying teams with very low water levels and eighty seven degree
surface temperature.

After twenty nine years of experience on Lake Maumelle as a team, Bill
Dennis and Ricky Easter had to pull from all of their previous knowledge
of that lake to catch fifteen keepers and numerous non-keepers.

The more aggressive fish seemed to prefer a Jewell Jig, Bandit crankbait
and soft plastics.  Dennis and Easter caught their fish as shallow as 12
inches and as deep as 15 feet. The winning weight was 12.70 lbs. consisting
of seven keepers.

Ricky Easter, owns Easter Scrap Metal and Bill Dennis is a retired school
teacher who has recently started Central Arkansas Fishing Guide Services,
Inc. Both men confirmed that pre-fishing and past experience contributed
to this championship.

The Lake Maumelle Tournaments start the first week in April and
complete that series the last week of September.  There were
approximately sixty teams that participated this season.
