Fellow Panhandlers: The 2008/2009 fishing season has started. The new season brings to us new board members and a new way of doing things. Hopefully the changes will allow us to have more fun and better fellowship. As your new tournament director I will insist that you know the rules pertaining to our tournaments.

My goal is to have our weigh- ins move quickly and yet at the same time maintain professionalism and fairness. The November weigh-in took 17 minutes from the time the horn was sounded to open the scales till the closing of the scales.

I will be writing a monthly article to be placed in our news letter where I will be discussing our past tournament and show casing a tournament rule. The article will be called From the Tackle Box of the Fish Police “.  I ask that you assist us in our changes, if you see a problem let us know and at the same time offer a solution. We want all of our members to participate in making the Panhandle Bass Club the best that it can be. I have taken the following quote from our Constitution and ask that throughout the year you keep this in mind.

To improve our skills as bass anglers through fellowship of friendly exchange of bass catching techniques and ideas.

Now for the November Tournament.

            As usual we started off with a cool nip in the air, at blast off it was 35 degrees and foggy. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give the tournament an 8. Most all  caught fish but most were small except for Wayne’s 4 pounder, but all in all it was a good tournament. A big thanks to Chris for pulling out those that couldn’t climb the hill. We had all 19 members fish the tournament plus 3 guest, that’s a good way to start the year. Congratulations to Wayne (never give up) Thomley for winning the tournament. Looks like he‘s making a run for the title. Rich Cornelius once again was the brides maid for Second Place, while Mack Cramer was able to slide into Third Place with a nice limit to round out the top three.        

     Oh and by the way we have our 1st

nomination for the Hammer Award.
