Des Arc Tourney Results

DES ARC CHAMPIONS!!!

Michael Brand and Shane Ray

4.26 lbs

Second Place

Brad Kieffner and Billy Keedy

3.77 lbs (Big Bass)

Third Place

Mike Warren and Billy Max Warren

1.98 lbs

Congratulations to Michael and Shane!!! They were the only boat that survived the wind enough to bring two bass to the weigh-in. We had a wonderful showing...considering it was this early in the year and the wind was forecast to be so tough. The story of the day was the windy conditions and the bass not biting. I plan to post some pictures from the event in the next day or two. AOY standings will be posted a few days later.

Tournament Stats:

15 boats

27 Fisherman

7 bass weighed

15.01 lbs of bass weighed

3 trolling motors broken down (that I know of)

5 boats that voted to fish 8 hours instead of 6 (thank goodness 6 won....haha)!

Des Arc Tourney (Saturday, March 7th)

The time has finally arrived for the first 2009 Jackson County Bass Club tournament! There is supposed to be a group meeting at Wal-Mart parking lot ready to leave at 5:45 Saturday morning. The plan is to go to Searcy to eat breakfast and leave from there to head to Des Arc. Again, it would be very helpful if everyone can be at Des Arc by 7:30.

I plan to bring a copy of the rules for each boat. I want to have the website updated within a day or two after the tournaments. I will post tournament results, pictures, and updated AOY standings to this website after each tourney.

It looks like it is supposed to be warm and windy. Hopefully that will make the bass active. If you have any questions, please give me a call (870) 512-9400. If not, I look forward to seeing you Saturday morning!

Des Arc (Saturday, March 7th)

Well, it seems to have been a pretty good decision to postpone the tournament. The weather forecast was correct and it would not have been very good fishing weather AT ALL! The snow is gone and the forecast is for much warmer weather this week. It looks like we will get started Saturday morning.

We are going to start at 8:00, but please remember that it would be helpful for everybody to be there by 7:30. We will be taking entry fees, membership fees, votes for 6 or 8 hours of fishing, and drawing numbers for takeoff positions. This could take some time.

Please feel free to come by my office to pick up a copy of the updated tournament rules. Also, if you haven't paid your membership fee, you can get that taken care of this week too. We already have 18 paid members (4 new). I look for an increase Saturday morning.

The camera is charged. The website is up and running. The schedule is complete. The spreadsheet is set (for keeping up with AOY standings). The weather should be better. Now, it is just time to catch some bass!

Look forward to seeing everyone Saturday (or hearing from you this week)!

Due to probable weather conditions, the first tournament of the year (Des Arc) has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 7th at 8:00 a.m. The forecast calls for high winds, low temperatures, and a chance of rain and snow. Hopefully next weekend will be better weather.

Please let as many people as possible know that this has changed.

Thanks
