I have put together packets for the bass club. They include
proposals for Bi Laws, rules, and consensus.
We are scheduled to have a meeting at 2:00 at papa rollos in Waco Saturday. I know a lot of us will not be there.
I can email these packets in a MS Word format. Please email me at robert.lovelace@tstc.edu next week and I will be glad to send them. If you do not get one by the end of next week email me again.

I would like to have another meeting later this year to cover the areas in this packet and start planning to start in 08.

Hope you local guys are interested and this goes well. And question please feel free to contact me at

Looking forward to it

Decent bites on Waco Sunday. Fished from daylight till about 3 with 9 keepers altogether. Many fish caught with the biggest a bit over 16 inches. Looks like the fish are starting to bite. They still seem to be suspended but we did get a few texas rigging.
Bob

Of those who are interested in being part of a new Central Texas Club please email me and I will send you a packet on the prospective club. I will try and set up a meeting sometime in the next few months.

Bob

Sorry I missed the meeting. Got back from Mexia in time but our son and daughter-in-law drove down from Little Elm to spend the night. I will send you an email Bob.

Please do Skip and I will send you the info packet. Derek and I will schedule another meeting in the next 6 or 8 weeks or when we can get most of us together and start working on what we all want to do.
Bob

the next meeting we plan we need to have everybody there.

Is anyone going to prefish Stillhouse?

the lake is still up 5 feet and its droping almost a foot a day. it should be down to normal next weekend.

Isn't is great to be able to arive at the lake at 7 in the morning ans still fish right at daylight?

I might try Whitney this weekend. I haven't been there in a long time. Maybe most of the locals will be repfishing the waco stuff.

Ricky wants to fish that Stillhouse with me. I need to try and find a way to get him there.

tell him its no good at stillhouse and we were just joking with him about it being a good lake. yea waco will be to busy this weekend, i would wait till next weekend to fish stillhouse, but whitney might not be too bad of a choice

Derek,
I ran into a couple of local guys that said they would like to join. We are looking about 12 - 15 people that seem really interested in this club. We just have to keep pushing it.
Bob

yea we have 15 easy

Fished Whitney Yesterday. Man.
I was calling it the dead sea.
Caught 2 fish and if I lined them up end to end the would have almost been a keeper. Going to try again Saturday.

they should be biting at whitney. i dont think i am going this weekend.

Here is an interesting By law that I saw another club talking about.

"tournament is a two day tournament, but only one day's weight counts"

That is what Stephenville does. You can fish either/both days for the one entry fee and take your best weight of the 2 days. That way if someone has a conflict one day it doesn't keep them from fishing. Alot of the guys get a room and make a weekend out of it.

I've fished a bass club that did that and there were alot of problems. I think it takes away from suspense and makes the tourn. less personal. If it aint broke dont fix it. Thats just my 2 cents.

That is the kind of input we will need to discuss. But I certainly see your point. I would rather have it on one day but I did like the make up idea. Provided that if you made up a tournament the tournament fee would go into the pot of the next event and you only get credited for the final record. That would give people a chance to fish if they had to miss an event.
Bob

One other thing. How did you get your pic to show up on your posts?

Fishing good on Waco.
Seems the fishing has really picked up on Waco as of late anyone having the same results?
Bob

Bob

PM sent concerning the bass club

I have info on its way and you email stored. Will send you times on the next meeting.
Bob

Guys,
We need to start thinking about when we want to meet. I am thinking on A saturday afternoon at the hog creek Ice house or at the new place at Speegleville marina. I hear the have live music at night and beer. I will try and find out more info.
For the guys in our tornament series I need for you to email me so I will have you emails in my list. robert.lovelace@tstc.edu
thanks,
Bob

anybody fish stillhouse yet?

Skeeter TZX200,

I have not fished it this year, but plan to with in the next month. Fishing should get good once they stop releasing water.

Bassman76

Bob

I think either one of those places would be great to meet. The ice house is a great place, however I have not tried the marina. Just need a place, time, and date and we are good to go.

Bassman76

bassman you should join us for the rest of the tournaments this year. the schedule is on the first page of the other thread.

Skeeter TZX 200,

I would like to, but I am working in Iraq until the end of the month. I will check the schedule and see if I can make Novembers tournament.

Novemeber will be Whitney. That has been a tough lake for me but I have heard that smallmouth are biting there.

I can understand that, it has been tough for me as well. It appears the date will be the 17th I should be able to make it. What do you need from me to be able to fish. Are you all going to have a meeting before the tournament to discuss?

all i do is post the rules up about a week before the tournament and make a pre register list and all you have to do is say you are going to be there and you are pre registered.

Sounds good I should be home the second week in November and will be looking for your post. Thanks again.

Welcome to the club.

so when is everybody prefishing.

Might try sunday but will be camping on Waco Friday and Saturday. Might have to hit Stillhouse cold.
Didn't you tell me there was a tournament on Waco the 13th?
Bob

yep legacy fall open, $80 entry fee, take off is out of twin bridges ramp.

What is the latest date you allow someone to prefish for a tournament. I won't be home until around Nov 5 - 10

what is the last day you allow people to prefish before a tournament.

you can prefish all the way up to the tournament, but we check livewells because centexmav keeps a supply of big bass in his livewells.

I wanna just send a picture of my empty livewell.
Bob

ANYONE ELSE GOIN TO STILLHOUSE THIS WEEKEND?

yep i will be there tomorrow morning.

Yeah, didn't he fish one of ya'll tournaments a while back? I used to work for him. Great guy. We haven't gotten to fish much in the last year, but I have known him for about seven years.
