Robert, who organizes these? Would love to get some info on them.

Qualitybassclub.org out of San Antonio put this one on. I have been with them 15 years as there are no local bass clubs.

Gotcha. I used to fish with a bass club when I lived in SA, but they don't ever have CC on their schedule.

first time for us in 10 years.

You guys, I have talked with Pat and Justin at South Texas Marine and we are looking at putting on a week night type tournament that would run appx 3 months before we turn the clocks back. The way I see it we could fish say 2 nights per month that would be six tournament series, have an angler of the year. Nothing expensive, fun and commaraderee. Trying to get a head count to see who would be sincerly interested. We will then meet and discuss what type of tournament, dates, issues, things like that. Please respond asap as if we are gonna do this we need to get started to get 2 tournaments in on August. Pm me with # if ya want to discuss. Thanks Robert

Victoria/Goliad area has a club- Coleto Bassmasters- we fish Mathis but lately the water levels have been so low there are no ramps open- this year we were finally able to fish it again. I will pass the message on this tournament.

Thanks skeeter. Yea I fish with Quality out of San Antonio. Know your club well. Love Colletto. This is a fun, get out of the house type tourney. Good bunch of guys. Figured we could get in 6 with the daylight savings time. Yall come on!

My ramp is scary right now. Pat figured the north ramp at the state park is the only one right now. Unless you now a private area but most of those are out of the water. We are catching some quality fish though!

Last bump! See ya there!

Well, the first one is done and in the books. There were 19 participants! Great turn out and lots of fun! The wind decided to blow 30 mph the day of the tournament after 2 weeks of no wind! Welcome to south Texas. We had people travel as far away as Coletto Creek to fish and we appreciate ya! Below are the results:

1st place...Jere Koonce with 7.20 lbs...$190.00
2nd place...Lee Lopez with 6.54 lbs...$144.00
3rd place... Bob Koonce with 4.12 lbs...$76.00
Big Bass....Lee Lopez @ 3.58 lbs...$95.00

The wind caused tough fishing conditions with big waves and the inability to hold on to some fishing spots. Shallow the water muddied up pretty good but all in all we had a great turn out and met some good people over hot-dogs and cold drinks! Next up...this Friday August 26th!
See ya there!
God bless
