Gillespie Bass Club

I’m currently trying to design a new layout for the club site. If you log on today and notice the page changing as you navigate, please bare with me. These changes will be done today.

The pairings for the next two tournaments have been posted. They can be viewed HERE

Roster should be up and working again. All that is needed is some numbers from the new members that we took in by proxy. These will be updated as soon as they provide me with the info.

The roster no longer needs a password.

Check it out and if your current info is not up to date,..please let me know.

Just a reminder, March meeting we will be drawing for two tournaments. Coffeen, March 14th and Sangchris, March 28th. Yearly dues are $30 dollars and must be paid before you fish. Entry fee is still $25 dollars per tournament. These can be paid at the meeting. Unfortunately, anyone not paid before the clubs April meeting, will be dropped from the membership.

Angler of the year. Its the award that is given to the angler who compiled the most points in regular club tournaments through out the year. Its not about the most weight or number of fish an angler catches, its consistency. Mike was consistent in catching fish in every single tournament this year. Mike even finished off the year by winning the clubs top ten fish off. Its not an easy task. So when you see Mike, make sure and congratulate him! Once again, congratulations Mike Grejtak.
