Unbelievable Blessed Finish.  The team charged the finish line at the St. Joe River in the last Indiana North season tournament.   We had battled all year inch by inch and what a finish.  We not only came in first place for the tournament, we almost took the points championship away from the three year running defending team.  We came in second overall and missed first by a marginal 3 point difference, making for a very exciting weigh-in finish.  Can you believe it!   National Exposure for all our sponsors, plaques, checks, pictures, and 2nd overall finish.  You think it can not get any better,BAM then the lord blessed me with a 4 plus smally during our practice day.  New Personal Best for Indiana.  We would like to thank our sponsors LFD Local 416, Elk Hart Brass, Scott Health and Safety, Anglersworldonline.com, Strictlybasslures.com,  Our Littler World Design, and all who have believed in us and our dream.  I would like to take this moment to thank my Wife and family for supporting and allowing me to chase it.  They are the real Team Dully.   At Team Dully, We Create Success!  Let this be a testament to our Lord and Saviors Grace.  ONLY Through a relationship with Christ, are All Things Possible and to him All our Glory.  Realize The Dream 2009!

Fishers Of Men Indiana North Lake Shafer Team Dully Battles for Fifth! The headed to beautiful lake Shafer, home of Indiana Beach.  We spent the day of practice looking at the roller coasters and catching good smally.  I was able to catch a 3.5 lb. smally accidentally hooking her but enjoying the fight anyway.  That fish is my biggest Indiana Smally to date.  Great day on the water.  We attended the meeting at the local Methodist church.  Fellowship and food Great!  We launched on tournament day and went after the big smallies.  We spent four hours trying to get a keeper with no luck.  We hastily decided to go after some large mouth to try to save the tournament.  We were blessed with 3 keeper bites.  This allowed the team to scratch a fifth place finish.  By his grace, we made the cut, cash checks, and moved to sixth overall.  We would like to thank our sponsors Elk Hart Brass and Scott Health and Safety for the opportunity to compete.  You can see the official results at the Indiana North Division section of the Fishers of Men National Website.   Catching Fish, Cashing Checks, REALIZE THE DREAM!

Team Dully North Strikes again for Fourth! The Team went to Morse Reservoir for this event.  We had a great day of fishing for on our official practice day.  Aggressive fish all over the lake hitting our spinner baits and top water.  We attended the official meeting and Bass Masters Qualifier Terry Mcwilliams was our speaker.  He spoke of being a good witness to others and making it a point to share the word with the people around you.  What a message.  The team woke to cloudy skies after a massive 3" rain storm overnight.  We felt the fish would stay active and aggressive with the wind and cloud cover.  Our experience by 10:00a.m. told us that the bite had changed just like Monroe a week earlier.  Without fear, the team changed gears and made adjustments to power our way to a 10 lbs. 5 fish limit.  We had our chances at some big fish that got off.  That's fishing.  We were blessed to find that our efforts yielded a Fourth Place finish.  Cashing checks and keeping the team rolling to the next events.  You can not miss your opportunity to catch bigger fish and expect to finish first.  Those honors went to Terry Mcwilliams and his grand son Brody Mcwilliams.  Despite their big motor not starting, they were able to trolling motor only, to win the event.  What a story.  We would like to thank our sponsors Elk Hart Brass firefighting equipment for the opportunity to compete, with all the glory to or Lord Jesus Christ.  See the official results and standing at F.O.M. website Indiana North Division.  We will be at Lake Shafer for our next event in July and then Tanners Creek on the Ohio River.  See On The Water. Heating Up!

Team Dully Takes Fourth at Lake Monroe. The team went to lake Monroe for the third stop on the Fishers of Men Indiana South division trail.  The team had a productive practice day finding aggressive fish roaming the size to ten foot range and aggressively chasing bait and our crank baits.  The meeting went well and the food was good.  As you would guess all changed overnight.  There was a proposed storm to hit us all day during the tournament.  It blew south and a blue bird high pressure sky set in.  The fish tightened their bite and refused our crank-baits early in the day on Saturday.  We realized we needed to make changes en route.  So, we switched gears and grounded out a 3 fish limit for over 6 lbs.  This was enough to bless the team with a fourth place finish and cashing checks.  It was a tough day for all.  However, we would like to thank our Re-signed Sponsor, Four County Counseling Center and all our sponsors for the opportunity to compete.  As always, glory to our lord and savior Jesus Christ, through him all things, even on a tough day on the water.  The official results and standings can be viewed at F.O.M National Tournament Trail Indiana South Division.   Four County Counseling Center Your Courage, Our Guidance http://www.fourcounty.org/

The team went to Raccoon Lake for the Fishers of Men North Division.  Raccoon is one of my favorite lakes because of the 16" size limit.  This lake has some big ol bass in it.  The team was able to catch about 12 or so pounds of fish during the practice day.  The biggest going about 4 lbs.  The food and fellowship at the meeting, top notch.  Over night cold front and 5 foot above pool water gave the fish a bit of lock jaw.  The team was unable to catch a keeper bass.  There were only 11 fish caught in a 40 boat field and we were not one of them.  Tough, tough, tough, and I mean tough conditions.  We would like to thank our sponsor Elkhart Brass for the opportunity to compete.  The official results can be viewed at F.O.M. website under the Indiana North Division.  Also, www.anglersworldonline.com has sponsored this division for the Fishers of Men as well.  The team will be fishing a Firefighters benefit  tournament on May 21, 2009 we will be sponsored by Elkhart Brass firefighting equipment and the Brownsburg Fire Department Union. My teammate for this event will be my lifelong friend and brother , Brownsburg Firefighter Lt. Tony Smith.  Our team shirts are provided by www.Ourlittleworld.com.  We should have a good day on the water.  Check back for results.  God Bless.

Teamdully went to brookville for the Fishers of Men Indiana South tournament.  The weather was a bit rainy on Friday the official practice day.  The team was able to catch multiple smallmouth bass during practise, 2 walleye, and 10 or so big hybrid stripers.  The lake is alive and well.  The meeting had great food as usal and the speaker was from a ministry that goes to racing events, including nascar.  The message was how to start, maintain, and finish the race as a Christian. Very good message.  The team headed into tournament day with the hope of filling the live well with smallies.  We felt the cold front would push the largemouth deep and inactive while keeping the smallmouth going.  We were able to catch 40 plus smallmouth bass during the tournament, but only one measured the 14" legal limit.  The team finished in 8th place for the day.  Though the largemouth ruled the day, we had a blast catching fish and having fellowship.  This tournament trail is more than competition on the water.  We would like to thank all our sponsors especially www.strictlybasslures.com and Elkhart Brass for the opportunity to compete.  Our new shirts will be done for the next tournament.  See all results and standings at the F.O.M. website Indiana South Division.  God Bless. Our Super Star Smally! Caught By Team Member Chris Ulrich.

Team Dully started the season off at Geist on Saturday April 18, 2009.  The conditions were overly tough for the team.  An dual upper level high gave the fish a bit of lock jaw, at least for us.  Despite our diligent efforts, the team was unable to boat a keeper fish.  The fellow ship the day before was top notch as always.  JJ's restaurant in New Palestine catered the meal and it was delicious.  We would like to thank our New 2009 Sponsor Elkhart Brass makers of firefighting equipment for the opportunity to compete.  We will be gearing up for the Brookville tournament for the south division on May 2.  See all results at F.O.M. website Indiana North and South division.  See you there. God Bless.
