Tims Ford Tournament Changed !!!!

June 11, 2010

Due to the fishing rodeo at Tims Ford this weekend, club members at last night's monthly meeting voted unanimously to change this Saturday's (6/12/2010) tournament to Guntersville. Launch will be at safe light from the Highway 117 bridge. There is at least one other tournament launching so be there early and listen up for any changes for the weigh-in time. It may become necessary to avoid weighing in at the same time as the other tournament and/or due to the heat.

Breakfast at the Waffle House in Kimball at 3 A.M. Everyone Welcome !!!!

Thanks to Danny for the heads up on avoiding a bad situation at Tims Ford and having a good alternate plan.

Hughes Benefit Results

June 06, 2010

The Hughes Benefit Tournament was a huge success !
Brandon and Lucas did a great job of organizing and running this event.
Lots of fish were caught, new friendships were made, many old friends enjoyed an afternoon of fellowship, everyone came and went safely, and several hundred dollars was raised to help the family.
Several prizes were drawn for and some nice trophies were awarded to the top three finishers.
It is events like these, that display the caring of so many people for those families that suffer such a huge loss, that forms the strength of humanity.
Thanks to all the sponsors and participants for making this possible! May God Bless.
You can check out the results on the Results page and the forum 'Tournaments' topics.

Latest Updates

April 26, 2010

Just a reminder to everyone to always check this site for the latest updates and changes concerning our club events.
In addition to the ramp change this weekend from CFP to Chickamauga Dam, the launch ramp for our tournament on Tims Ford has been changed to the Devil's Step. It's located just outside Winchester and will shave several miles off the overall trip.
While we prefer to always stick to our schedule, there are times when our launch coincides with other tournaments. We will make changes, if needed, with safety and access to the facility in mind.

* IMPORTANT GUNTERSVILLE INFORMATION *

April 14, 2010

To avoid any confusion at weigh-in, our club's length limit and creel limit will apply this Saturday. 12" Spotted bass, 15" Largemouth bass, and 18" Smallmouth bass. No more than a total of five (5) black bass may be in your possession, or a teams possession, at any time. Only one (1) smallmouth per angler. Anyone caught with a smallmouth less than 18" while fishing the Tennessee side of Guntersville would be in violation of TWRA Rules and Regulations.
This should be a good one. We are looking forward to a lot of good bags at weigh-in. Get there early, be safe, have fun, and catch a lot of fish !
