Bald Knob Lake Tourney

Well, it's that time again. Saturday brings another Jackson County Bass Club tournament. This week it is at Bald Knob Lake. I have had numerous phone calls asking if we are still going to fish Saturday and the answer is YES. Unless the forecast drastically changes, it looks like the weather shouldn't be too bad. It looks like it will be around 40-45 degrees with a 30% chance of showers. It will be a little cool, but we can handle it.

We are going to start at 8:00. Please try to be there by 7:30. Last week went pretty well, but even with a lot of people showing up early, we almost didn't get started on time. There will probably be a group meeting at the Wal-Mart parking lot that will go eat breakfast at Bald Knob. It hasn't been confirmed, but I would think it will be around 6:15.

We had 15 boats last week and I have already been contacted this week by 4 other boats that plan to be there this week. I have heard of a few more that may be coming, too. If you remember, at our meeting at the beginning of the year, one of the things that I asked was to try to recruit some new boats. It seems like everybody is doing their part. Thank you very much! You are only making the club better.

The decision has been made to change one of our club rules. The rule involves guest fishermen. Now, any child, 15 years old or less, may fish as a guest with their parent/grandparent/guardian as many times as they would like without paying a membership fee. They will still be required to pay the entry fee for each tournament. They will not be allowed to fish in the classic if they haven't paid their membership fee. Hopefully this will entice some youngsters to want to join the club in the future.

Remember, there is a comment button just below this post. Feel free to post a comment....it is easy to do.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call (870) 512-9400.

Be careful and Good Luck Saturday!
