White River North Tourney Results

White River North Champions

Mark Clairday and Jason Denney

2 bass---2.35 lbs

Big Bass---1.20 lbs

--------------------------------

2nd Place

Mike Warren and Chuck Coe

2 bass---1.95 lbs

--------------------------------

3rd Place

Justin Doyle

1 bass---1.14 lbs

-------------------------

Congratulations to all of the newcomers (and Mike)! The new team of Mark Clairday and Jason Denney were able to battle the conditions to bring home the win. They caught two keeper bass on a day where 75% of the boats didn't weigh a fish. Mike and Chuck caught two keepers as well and that brought them to the second place position. Justin Doyle caught a monster smallmouth (considering the day) to edge out Bobby Gates and Jason Walker for third place.

Now, I will say this...if you voted to fish at this place a few weeks ago, you are fired! It is not a good sign when more trout are caught than bass. I am looking forward to our next tournament in two weeks (even though our motor is busted)! I will determine the launching site as soon as possible.

Tournament Stats

16 boats (great turnout for this location and time of year)

31 fishermen

6 fish weighed (yes, only 6)

6.18 lbs of bass

Thanks to everyone for coming out!

Pre-Fishing is OVER!!!

Wow! I can't believe it is time to say that again. It seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that we were crowning Nicky and Fuzzy Gates as Anglers of the Year and Marvin Ross as the JCBC Classic Champion for 2009. We are set to start the 2010 season on the White River at Martin Access. For those that plan to attend, please be there by 8:30 to make sure we have everything taken care of and ready for the 9:00 launch.

I have been keeping an eye on the river level and the weather. The river level should be fine if we can avoid a big rain between now and Saturday. Both of the weather sites that I have been watching (weather.com and kait8.com) are showing a slight chance of rain on Friday, so we should be fine. They also show that we should have a high in the mid 40s, so bundle up Saturday. For those of you who are debating whether to show or not, please remember that we drop each team's two worst tournament results for AOY standings. I look forward to seeing everybody that can make it!

Call if you have any questions.

JACKSON COUNTY BASS CLUB 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we go again! It is almost that time. Last week we had a nice crowd for our meeting and we discussed many different things. I have thought all winter that last year went pretty well, but after the meeting I realized that it really did go well. We thought about changing numerous rules, but everybody pretty much agreed that everything was fine like it was. We are going to fish an 11 tournament schedule before the classic. We will once again drop the worst two tournament results for each team. This allows you to either take a couple off, or just fish them all and pick your top 9 results before the classic.

Now it is time to release the schedule. We will see if the team of Nicky and Fuzzy Gates will repeat as Anglers of the Year for 2010.

February 27------White River North-Martin Access
March 13---------Greers Ferry (Ramp TBD)
April 3------------Norfork
April 24-----------Greers Ferry (Ramp TBD)
May 8-------------Lake Conway
May 29------------Peckerwood
June 19------------Morgan's Point
July 10------------Hurricane
July 24------------Seven Mile/Cache Bayou
August 14----------White River (Jacksonport)
September 4-------Peckerwood
September 18------CLASSIC (TBD)

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. If the number of phone calls that I have received over the last 6 weeks is any indication, I think we are all looking forward to our 2010 fishing!

CHANGE OF PLANS FOR CLASSIC

We originally planned to launch at the Narrows, but due to safety concerns, we will launch from Devils Fork. The plan is for everybody to be ready to take off at 6:15 am. Please pass the word on about this change. If you have any questions regarding the Classic, please feel free to call me.

Good Luck to everybody!

The following points will be awarded for the Classic:

Congratulations to Michael Brand and Shane Ray. Going to Seven Mile paid off for them. They weighed a solid sack of over 10 lbs to win the Cache Bayou/Seven Mile tourney. Mike Warren and Dennis Ray dominated at Cache Bayou to take second place at just under 10 lbs. Their second place finish was aided by a 3.45 lb largemouth that won the big bass award. Third place was awarded to Brad Lewis and Dustin Roddy's five fish limit of just under 9 lbs. The tournament was another success with beautiful weather. The fish bit for many of the anglers, but these three boats led the way.

Cache Bayou/Seven Mile Tournament info

We are scheduled to fish this Saturday at Seven Mile and Cache Bayou. We will meet at 5:30 am at the store in Gregory. Everybody will declare there where they are going to fish and the rules will be explained at that time. We will probably try to weigh in at around 1:00 at one of the two fishing locations. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Thanks
