Steel City Members,With just one more event in the 2018 tournament season, the officers and board members have been preparing for Table Rock and looking ahead to the winter meetings and 2019 events.
Our final event of 2018 is at Table Rock Lake/Lazy Lee’s Resort on November 17 and I hope all of you can join us there to close out the season.
If you need a room for Table Rock, contact Joy at 417-338-2253.
The Table Rock weekend will include a pre-tournament seminar by Elite Series angler and Bassmaster Classic qualifier Brian Snowden. Brian will be guiding ion Table Rock n the weeks prior to the event and will have plenty of information on tournament tactics and new products.
Brian will also be updating us on the changes within the professional bass fishing community concerning the Bassmaster Elite Series, FLW, and the new MLF Bass Pro Tour.
As always, bring something to throw onto the grill on Friday evening and the bass club will provide salad and sides. Feel free to bring anything you would like to add to the meal, whether it is a snack during the grilling time, side item for dinner or a dessert.
Saturday’s tournament will kick off at sunrise with a boat check and launch. This is a team event and your individual catch will be combined with your boat partner to determine the four places and big bass awards.
Following the weigh-in, we will have a catered meal from Danna’s BBQ and tournament awards presentation.
Once again, I look forward seeing everyone at Table Rock.
Looking beyond the 2018 fishing season
The board has developed the proposed 2019 tournament schedule and it can be viewed at:
Note: If you viewed the proposed schedule earlier this week, there has been an update due to scheduling conflicts at KY Lake (The Moors), so please check it again.
Our first of four scheduled general meetings for the winter will be on Sunday, November 25 at 2:00 pm at the Collinsville Knights of Columbus lounge. At that meeting we will review the proposed 2019 schedule and vote on it’s approval.
We will also nominate eligible members for officer and board positions.
Elections will be held at the December 16 general meeting.
The Let’s Go Fishing Show will be held once again at the Collinsville Convention Center on January 4, 5, & 6. Steel City will once again be helping with the kid’s corner fish tank booth. We will also be raffling a brand new Lews baitcasting combo at the show.
The annual Steel City awards banquet is scheduled for January 26. We are actively looking for a new awards/plaque vendor as Collinsville Sports Shop has closed in retirement. Any recommendations for a new vendor will be helpful.
There is your update as we look ahead to the close of the 2018 season.
Thanks,
Larry Heagy
President of the Steel City Bassmasters
