Due to weather, the first fishing tournament was cancelled however; the second tournament was a great success. An evening tournament was held on June 30. We had 4 teams, totaling 8 participants, fish in the event. I hoped for a larger turnout but I suspect the low water is keeping many fishermen on dry ground.
My guest Scott Peterman and I won the tournament with 10 bass weighing in at a little over 10 pounds. Randy Johnson fishing with his son Scott, came in second and would have won but they had to remove their biggest fish as Randy won the Adult Big Fish award with a 2 13/16 pound bass.

Water is Low, but Spirits are High I want to say thanks to all the members and helpers that made the May 19 Low Boil a rousing success. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. The turn out, the food and the music all exceeded expectations. I have received numerous compliments on the cooking. The credit goes to Ellen & David Lee for planning, purchasing and preparation, along with their crew of shrimp/crawfish boilers, John Brennan and Bob Herb, with Tevis Stine overseeing roast chicken and red beans/rice.
John Zibrida's Cadillac Tattoo rocked into the night and they were joined on stage by local guitarists Steve Craigg, Bryan Stuart and event chairman Dag Sandbakken. Dag also generously arranged for the van service to provide rides home. He and wife Kathy were back the next morning to clean up and restore order to the picnic grounds.

As we are approaching summer my earlier predictions for the fast return to full pool water levels for the lake was wrong. It's disappointing that we are 10 inches below normal for rainfall so far this year but at least we are not dealing with the wildfires of South Georgia near Berkeley Lake. Hopefully summer thunderstorms will help return our lake to full pool soon.

As much as I hate to say it, I've only fished the lake a few times this year. I've even had to cancel our first fishing tournament due to lack of participation. I believe just too many boats are high and dry for us to get enough people out to fish.

2007 has been a busy year for maintenance and improvement activities. For those who were not present at the May 19 membership meeting, the Board of Directors and numerous volunteers have been actively working to improve the Beach and Picnic grounds. As you may recall from our annual meeting in January, we announced plans to form a Capital Improvement Committee of BLHA Members to review the association's properties and make improvements.

We are off to an exciting and eventful start for 2007. The theme for this year is inclusion. Many residents and newcomers have told me that part of the magic of Berkeley Lake extends beyond the waters, and our frequent community-wide events are unique and treasured. The parade on the 4th of July and its companion Fireworks Flotilla spark fond, deep seated memories that are a rich part of our families' heritage. I am grateful that my parents discovered this oasis many years ago and appreciate that my children feel the same way.
Our cornerstone events in the Spring & Fall serve as festive bookends to usher in the summer and reminisce into autumn. Whether a fish fry or low country boil, a BBQ or Luau, the gatherings are as perennial as the seasons. Last year's Regatta not only celebrated our 50th anniversary but also served as a reminder that this has always been a neighborhood renowned for celebration.
