Our first meeting was held last evening at Sportsman's Warehouse.  The existing officers were unanimously voted in again for the 2012 season.  They are: Brad- President;  Jane- Secty/Treasurer and Jeff- Tournament Director.  The schedule was reviewed and it was confirmed that 5 of the 8 regular tournaments need to be fished to qualify for the Classic and the lakes and dates are firm for regular tourneys, but there may be further discussion regarding the dates and fishery for the Classic.  The idea of awarding paid entry fees to the top Team was discussed briefly and voted down due to the lost revenue.  We welcomed the new Team of Tim Sparkman and Leann Elam who have moved here from Texas.

Another meeting was scheduled for Monday, March 12 at 7 P.M. at the Memphis Pizza Cafe on Getwell, at which time we will decide on details for the March 18th tournament at Bay Springs, Piney ramp.  All members are encouraged to complete their 2012 Bass Buster applications and pay the $25 per person annual fee as soon as possible to avoid any delays  and allow us all to take advantage of that top water bite on the morning of the 18th

It's almost time to meet and fish - please bring any interested anglers with you to our annual meeting being held on Monday, February 20 at 6 P.M.- new meeting location is Sportsman's Warehouse at 130 Marathon Way, Southaven, MS. They are offering a $10 off coupon for purchases of $50 or more for our meeting attendees!!

We need to elect officers for 2012 and discuss holding regular meetings in the future. Membership dues are still $25 annually and entry fees remain $100 per Team, per tournament.

See the Schedule page for 2010 planned tournaments

Way to go Larry!!  This weekend Larry Jenkins captured the number one spot at the BFL Wildcard tourney on Lake Barkley with a two day total weight of 37.09 lbs.  He inched out KY local and FLW Pro Kevin Snyder by two pounds for the win.  This earned Larry an all expense paid birth at the BFL Potomac River tournament in May, 2012.  We will all forgive him if he has to miss one of our tournaments and may have to carry a laptop to follow him on the Potomac next May!  We wish you all the best Larry!
