We had the 4th tournament of the NC MARINE HYCO TRAIL on Saturday 3/1/2025. There were 34 teams that showed up to try and figure out was has been rapidly becoming a stingy Hyco Lake for most people.
The top 10 were separated by 15 pounds if that tells you something.
With most teams struggling to put together a decent limit there were a few teams that figured them out.
As the weigh in began I noticed a lot of familiar faces start walking up to the scales and they were the wives and kids of one of the teams fishing the tournament. I knew then that something special must have done happened.
Special it was!! The team of Christopher Mullins & Joe Mullins came to the scales and smoked the field with a 5 fish limit weighing 25.09 pounds.

They took home the WIN

and earned themselves a total of $1175.00

for the day. Them boys are good pretty much everywhere they go. What I like about that family is that they make their passion for fishing a Family Tradition. There is actually a total of 4 teams of Mullins that fish alot of our events. Everyone of them just as nice of people as your going to meet. BIG CONGRATULATIONS to them on their WIN!
They were followed by the team of Tony Fox and Jordan Hall. They as well had a very good bag weighing 17.10 pounds. They carried home a total of $700.00

for 2nd place and also stepped into 2nd place in the Points Standings with one more tournament to go. GREAT JOB GUYS!
Big Fish was Won by the team of Brad Cook and Ethan Rimmer. They had a 6.73 pounder that earned them $340.00.
Nc Marine/ Caymas Money Winners.
Top finishing Caymas was the team of Gilbert & Gilbert who are the Points Leaders at the moment. They took home an extra $300.00.
2nd place finishing Caymas was the team of Glenn & Glenn.They took home an extra $200.00.
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who placed in the money!
With 1 tournament to go there is a 15 point separation between the 1st and 2nd place team in the Points standings. It’s not over yet but that’s a hard hill to climb. Anything can happen!
As always I want to Thank Tournament Director Tim Staton and his wife Pam Staton on doing and excellent job running the tournament.
