ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

            * If you don’t show at the two meetings in December and January, you have no say

               on the location and time of tournaments.  All of our tournaments are scheduled

               around the MBF tournaments

 

          ** Our club tournaments are based on the partner you choose to fish with.  It’s an

               individual tournament based on points.  The lunker is paid out at each

               tournament if you put money in.   Your non-boater can be a friend, family

               member, etc.  There is a one year probation.  First place is “Mr. Bass”.  The club

               sends eight members to the State Qualifying Tournament.
