We had a missunderstanding about dues last year and I want to be sure everyone understands for the upcoming 2005 BNT season. If any paid SCBBBC members want to fish any BNT regional event's they will only have to pay the BNT $20.00 yearly dues. Since they are already BASS Federation members through SCBBBC they dont have to pay it to fish BNT. We will still need your BASS#, address, etc.

Does my $20.dues covers me for fishing one of the regions?
or all BNT regions?

good question

dues are BNT dues not regional dues so your covered for all 3

also keep in mind Open's are exactly that Open events for members and non members

Am I allowed to be AOY in all 3 regions in the same year? :+

for sure...go for it man, but note some events are the same day or weekend making it just about impossible :)

Im in now dudes and thanks to Eric Keith I am the proud owner of a sweet kick boat free of charge. Thats write, totally free with no strings atached. Im still in shock. Im down now to oar my life away :+ :+ :+ :+

Rich

Rich,

Was that u out there today at Spring Lake trying out ur new kick boat???

thats pretty cool

Yes Sir
I didn't get bit, but it was nice to be sitting way up high out of that very cold water. Dud you nail any toads?

Rich

Rich,

Nope, i got the big ole 0. First time ive been skunked in a few months.
I did get some action with the rattletrap. Lost one on it, dont know how with the 2 trebles, but o well...

I witnessed a toad getting caught.

Does that count???

Nice job Dave, and nice seeing u on the water.

Thanks jdub. Nice to see you out there too. Usually when you catch a nice one there are no witnesses so it was fun to have you there. Hopefully next time I'll see you catching the toad.

Thanks for the hopefullness. :)

I hope too

how big was the toad?on what?where?lol

Ill let Dave tell...

It wasn't a toad by your standards Bill. I caught 3 fish for about 17 lbs with the big one going 7lbs 7 oz. You allready know the general area along with Todd. Caught her on a bleeding shad rattle trap.

Wow good job dude.7 1/2 is a nice one for sure with a couple of 5`s mixed in I assume,sounds like fun.Get yourself a digital so we can see these spring lake fatties,call me next time you go out.

Man, I can't believe how well that spot has been producing! Great to know someone is capitalizing on it. I haven't been out since the TOC so am kind of itching to get out.

Todd

Are you guys going to go out this weekend to Spring Lake??

Im either going to go out Saturday of Sunday or both.
Pending on if anyone is going, and which day(s)

I am planing on going out on Saturday but i have a feeling the lake will be a mud hole by then. After they let water into the lake its really tough for a while.

well thats not good, but i still plan to give it a shot.

When u mean let water in, do they let it in through the cement creek looking thing?

Anyone else up for it?

the cement creek run from the spring by the swiming lagoon feeding the lake all year round but, santa rosa creek run off only runs on a by annualy. so fish the cement creek.

fish on

I have a friend that was fishing spring a few years ago and he was by the cement creek when they opened the gate ? or what ever they do and he said a wall of muddy water flooded the lake and that was it for fish. I will probly be out there saturday morn anyways.

Isn't fishing Spring lake a little of topic for this thread?
