CLASSIC TIME!!!

It is time for the 2011 Jackson County Bass Club CLASSIC!!! We will launch from the Hill Creek ramp at 6:50-7:00 Saturday morning. Please make sure to be there at around 6:30, so we can make sure we get out on time. It is possible that we could leave the ramp at 6:50 or so if the weather permits so we can beat the large tournament out.

The order we will launch has been determined by the AOY standings. It will cost $10/person to fish the classic. Listed below is what will be rewarded on Saturday:

AOY will receive $200 ($100/man) and bragging rights!

Classic finish per boat
place-$$$$$---AOY points
1st---$600----40 points
2nd--$300----30 points
3rd--$200-----20 points
4th--$150-----10 points
5th--$100-----5 points
BigBass-$150--10 points
2ndBig---$50--5 points

We will pay for the top two big bass. This is biggest bass per boat. One boat can NOT win both Big Bass and 2nd Big Bass. In case of a very disappointing tournament in which only one or two boats catch keepers (unlikely), a boat can only collect on one place of prize money. For example, if one boat catches one keeper and everybody else zeroes, that boat would receive $600 for 1st and $150 for big bass. The rest would remain club money. Again, this is very unlikely, but you never know....haha!

If you happen to be one of the lucky ones that will win something Saturday, it is very likely I will mail you a check the week after the tourney. Please call with any questions! 512-9400

Thanks and Good Luck!!!

East Lake #2

It is time to finish up the regular season. Saturday will be our final tournament before the year-end Classic. We will launch at East Lake at 7:00 Saturday morning. We had a wonderful tournament there a few weeks back, so hopefully a lot of fish will be caught again. I hope to see you there at about 6:30 Saturday. The weather is forecast to be wonderful!!!
