Congratulations to Bill Wooten and Kenneth Youngblood!!! They were the only pair that brought a double-digit sack to the scales. Their 5 fish that weighed 11.31 beat the field and secured the Norfork title for them. Second Place went to Doug Cockrill and Dennis Browning. They braved the weather for a near double-digit sack and held on for a second place finish. Michael Brand and Justin Doyle binked their way to a third place finish with 5 fish that weighed just under 9 pounds. Kenneth Haney brought 4 largemouth to the scales that averaged 2 pounds apiece to take 4th. The monster fish of the day went to Kris and Kevin Jackson. During a tough day on the water, they were able to bring a 4.19lb largemouth to the scales. Congrats to all of you!

It was a terrible day for fishing, but there were a number of fish caught. We had a motor that wouldn't start, a person falling in the lake, a carp in a boat, numerous rain showers, many numb fingers, and one wild looking pair of boots (Raymond Bradley)! Again, thanks to everyone for toughing it out at Norfork. It says a lot for the club when 18 boats will show up and fish knowing the weather is going to be bad. See you soon!

We will launch at 7:00 Saturday morning from Jordan. Please try to be there by 6:30 or 6:40 so we can get out right at 7:00. Be prepared with warm and dry clothes because it looks like we may get some showers Saturday. Sorry I am posting the launch time so late. I totally forgot to update the website. I hope this didn't inconvenience anybody! See you all Saturday.

Congratulations to Nicky and Fuzzy Gates! With 22 boats leaving the ramp this morning, it was going to take a nice sack of fish to win. Nicky and Fuzzy brought that nice sack to the weigh-in! Their 11.76 pounds were good enough to hold off Jordan and Jerry Walker. The Walkers had 4 fish that included the big bass of the day.....a 5.65 lb largemouth. Third place went to Rob and Ratt. Their 9.76 pound sack was aided by a healthy 5.38 lb largemouth. Bobby and Ricky Gates didn't bring a 5 pounder to the scales, but they did bring the only other 5 fish limit which was good enough for fourth.

We had a tremendous turnout today for a February tournament, and there were some nice fish brought to the scales. I would like to, again, say welcome back to everybody and welcome aboard to a few of you knew guys that fished with us. We already have 44 members, and I am sure we will continue to add new members in the next few upcoming tournaments. Pictures should be posted in the next few days. Hopefully there will be numerous other pics added to our Facebook page (Jackson County Bass Club) as well.

Thanks for participating and please pass the word on about our club. It looks like we have another good year ahead of us!

It's Time to Start the 2011 Season!!!

We are only 3 days away from starting the 2011 season. Please remember that pre-fishing is now off limits for the Greers tournament this Saturday. We are going to put in at Devils Fork and launch at 8:00am. We will tentatively plan to weigh in at 4:00pm. I have already received a few calls about the tournament and the season. I expect to have a pretty good crowd Saturday and for the season. Please remind past club members and future members of the tournament.

I would really appreciate everybody trying to be there at around 7:15 or so. That will give us time to get members paid and signed up and also take tournament fees. Remember, at least one boater must be a paid member, so it will be easier if everybody just pays up their membership fee this week. The membership fee is now $25 per person and the tournament fee is $25 per person as well. If you would like to pay your membership before the tournament, just come see me.

If you would like to keep up with our club another way, please follow us on Facebook (Jackson County Bass Club). It looks like the weather should be nice, so I hope to see many people there Saturday morning!

Please feel free to call with any questions! (870-512-9400)
Thanks

Upcoming Tournament Notes

I just wanted to let everybody know that I have heard from a few people that there is another tournament going out of Devils Fork the same day we are fishing. After thinking about it and checking into things, I think we are just going to go ahead and go out of Devils Fork at 8:00am. The other tournament is supposed to take off at safe light, so they should be out of our way, and the parking lot should be plenty big enough.

Also, I have been informed that there is going to be an OPEN fishing tournament this Saturday(Feb 19) at Poinsett in Harrisburg. The tournament will be from 8:00 until 2:00. $50 per boat and 5 fish limit. For any other details contact Rick Sampson at 501-940-7986.
